If only all that was about protecting children. Just keep it to whatever issues you personally have with the LGBT people.

No you didn't.
This is called the rule of law. Nazi Germany was not a democracy. In America we are a democracy and you cannot be like I think marajuana should be legal so I am going to shirk my duties.

Yes you can.


Given how this guy has expressed paranoia about a yak wizard in San Francisco, I am somehow more confident (not less confident) that he has held a government position as a GOP member

Anyone who agrees with this please explain to me how it's harming you?

How does gay people have the same rights as you affect you? Why shouldnt they be treated equally at a business and be allowed to marry and adopt?

Some people unfortunately have hate in their hearts, and Viktor Orban channeled this hate into a political movement. It is a lot like MAGA. Attempting to reason with MAGA is an exercise in futility, however one thing I have noticed is that the right wing across Western nations view our planet as zero sum. They cheer on Viktor Orban when he bans pride parades, because they know that it is a step towards individuals different from themselves, being denied their rights
Equality > Freedom

Honestly I don't think Trump or Orban or any of the other far Right leaders could care less about gay people. But their support base does, and they've based their entire appeal around exploiting ignorance and fear to invoke an emotional response. Right wing populism feeds on outrage. The movement dies if there ceases to be an "other" to demonize to distract the mob from the fact dear leader has done nothing to address their quality of life and other bread and butter issues. The Trumps and Orbans of the world are too narcissistic and devoid of principles to be for or against gay rights. They're just stoking the fire that keep their power (and wealth) moving.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

While we can see that it is not necessarily intentional, some of your phrasing in these posts can be read by others as an implied accusation of child exploitation. It would be appreciated if you would avoid such phrasing in the future.

Gotcha boss,
I’m not suggesting anyone here is engaging in child exploitation but I see what you mean,

Oh they are entirely seperate issues; my concerns don’t lay with the LGBT going after kids or something like that mate.
I just know the shit I got up to as a kid, how bad the internet is and think it’s negligent parenting not to actively monitor your child’s online presence.

I understand the issue it potentially creates regarding children not being supported by their parents effectively outing them,
However I don’t know what the perfect soloution is here,
I just know unmonitored internet access isn’t it and the damage that does is far greater both in frequency and severity.

Don’t see how that can fit into your world view.


You don’t love someone by supporting poor or destructive choices.

The hardest but most genuine love we can give to people is telling them their choices are not good for them…whatever the situation or choice may be.

I wouldn’t tell someone I love that using Meth is okay for fear it would hurt our friendship to say it is not good for them.

I wouldn’t tell someone I love it was okay to drive drunk simply to prevent angering them.

I hope that makes sense…

It isn’t love to say nothing while someone destroys themself. It’s even less love to support someone in their destructive behavior(s).

Under is a literal fascist white supremacist. That’s way more destructive and immoral than being gay is.

Hell being lgbt isn’t even a choice. It’s not control to using drugs or drunk driving.

This is just the same shitty argument that got debunked decades ago.

Orban is a considerably dubious leader in the alliance within Europe. I thought he was throwing out false dichotomies for what economic benefits Hungary will gain from actioning the lawmaking. Whatever he is doing right now, I think he is making more enemies than he make friends. I rather not be threatened by less secure Europe than what we have now.

Besides, some people seem fixated on what has worked before(sunk-cost fallacies) and never considered new options. How bewildering the new options are, trying them at least once is enough to measure the limits. We will not have data, or even sufficient data, for anything if nothing has been tried. For those who wants to restore the past glories(to the point of even glorifying the failures), the mindset comprise people who are hellbent on dragging others down with them.

Today, we are more informed than what we were yesterday. The discrimination just keeps perpetuating because someone was still clinging onto the past. The amount of years between what was not acceptable in the past and today isn't too far away. The tactics that perpetuate an old belief include false dichotomies and dilemmas.
