LGBT Issues/Support Thread

[New-Minneapolis]

Praying fine times a day toward the Kaaba may not make sense for you, but it does to Muslims. People have different value sets. For example, my mother is a police abolitionist and I’m right wing on law and order issues, with the notable exception of my support of full and complete legalization of cannabis and mushrooms

Muslims can explain why they do that, though. It's part of their religion, it makes a decent amount of sense in that regard, and while it may be somewhat inconvenient at times it's not something counterintuitive to their very existence.

Because I happen to have conservative viewpoints on a certain number of issues. In terms of American politics, I’m a conservative Democrat, and if I lived in the UK, I would be a one-nation conservative.

[Floofybit]

I conservative with things such as law and order that police are good, marijuana and shrooms should be illegal,

Which do not make sense.

and religion and patriotism is good for society

They're personal choices, and not inherent goods for everyone.

How do they not make sense? They make perfect sense to me. Law and order and banning harmful drugs are good for keeping people safe

One would have to explain how the war on drugs is or was working. Because I believe these keeping cannabis and mushroom illegal is more harmful to society than keeping them illegal….


And I think this needs to be brought to the u.s politics thread, because this is drug policy, not lgbt issues

Or the police thread, where we've had this discussion with Floofybit before. But yeah.

Back to the topic at hand. Not every minority has a leftist viewpoint because minorities are not a monolith

This concept baffles the leftist. They seethe at the thought of not being able to control those within groups they're supposed to dominate.

It also depends a bit on what you call "leftist". The whole "the right wing advocates the lgtbqetc are subhuman" is not universal.

Ofc, in places where the right does advocate this it would be a bit weird to not have that part be a dealbreaker.

Did any other gay person grew up playing and loved playing The Sims?

No Sims. Played the hell out of Spore though, if that counts?

[Transsibiria]

I always preferred Sim City.

1. People shouldn't have opinions that lead to the death and discrimination of the rest of their group.
2. Maybe they could stop acting like it sometime?

Maybe the left should just accept there are minorities that disagree with them and have conservative viewpoints, I have different viewpoints. I probably disagree with these individuals and a lot of different issues, mainly about Donald Trump and right wing populism in general,

Or your opinion that being gay is sin, despite being gay yourself and showing no sign of relenting on that belief, despite the obvious mental anguish you go through due to holding these conservative beliefs.

One side thinks lgbt people are a sin or crime against nature, the other thinks the lgbt people is fine. Wonder what the better option for an lgbt person is?

Well; I don’t think being gay is a sin(anymore). But not every right-winger wants to bring back sodomy laws.

Not All Right-Wingers, but too many right-wingers.

No, but their parties often do. Which means it is not a dealbreaker for the people who support said parties.

[Ifreann]

Probably on things like conversion therapy as well.

I think voluntary conversion “therapy” should be legal for consenting adults, even though I know personally it’s pointless at best and harmful at worst. But so is eating McDonald’s three times a day.

It's impossible to offer conversion therapy without being fraudulent. It would be like McDonalds claiming that their special sauce could give you super powers. It's not only not true in their specific case, it's not humanly possible in general.

Loved the Sims long before I knew I was trans. Still love the Sims.

Justices Alito and Thomas want to get rid of gay marriage and reinstate sodomy laws.

I’ve noticed that a lot of LGBT grew up playing the sims
