Ra> I love /s how my desire to have the same rights as straight people is

Ra> my "view". That's really all Pride is about, our demands (you're damn
Ra> well right, we DEMAND) to be safe & have the same rights as everyone
Ra> else, including the right to fair jobs access, fair housing, everything
Ra> that straight people expect for themselves. Pride is about normalizing
Ra> our existence in the world, not about trying to "shove our views in
Ra> everyone's face".
fu> this has to be a joke. easily the largest source of violence
fu> against your community is from within. domestic violence is huge
fu> .. why do you hate each other? everything you read will say the
fu> violence is perpetrated by a "partner" .. what sort of parter do
fu> you expect a gay person might choose? everyone is so desperate to
fu> make it seem like random straight guys are going around beating
fu> up gay (or trans or whatever) people for fun.
fu> do you know how hard it is to find modern recent examples of "gay
fu> bashing" like you want to fearmonger? wikipedia, the source for
fu> all things bullshit, repeatedly will use wording like "in some
fu> countries" and other vague wording.. do you know how large the
fu> USA section of the Violence against LGBT people page is? And half
fu> of it is COPE about "ohh, it's because nobody reports it" .. and
fu> you know what happens when you lot have nothing to complain about
fu> in the US? "well, it's still happening somewhere on the planet!"
fu> ..
fu> it gets even more annoying when it's like "this homeless gay
fu> person was robbed! gay homeless people are more likely to be
fu> robbed! like 95%!" .. imagine i robbed 100 people and 5 of them
fu> were gay.. a perhaps generous estimate of the % of people in the
fu> US who are gay.. do you see how that skews that statistics?
fu> almost every homeless person gets robbed. holy cow all the
fu> homeless gay people got robbed, we have to do something about
fu> this violence against queer people!
fu> then you keep getting at how "words are violence" .. you
fu> repeatedly lump the word "fag" in with "pedophile" and "groomer"
fu> the first is an insult against a trait that can't be changed.. a
fu> part of who you are, as some people insist. but the second two
fu> it's obvious you would want to defend against. but if you remove
fu> the second two we have the two options here:
fu> "fag" <-> "straight white men"
fu> these are traits that can't be changed, and your usage is meant
fu> to degrade and demean. do you make fun of the handicapped?
fu> perhaps people with speech impediments? bash a few redheads now
fu> and again? these are now both traits protected under the Civil

fu> i know why you keep responding.. because that's exactly what you

fu> joining twitter are trying out their hand at some bullshit
fu> trolling only to be dunked on by a bunch of spergs with anime
fu> avitars. you didn't want to be a part of this community, which is

Ra> leopards eating faces are straight people that pretend to support gay
Ra> people just long enough to try to get us to let our guards down. ---
fu> this is mental illness. if you're afraid of people like this.

BRAVO!! BRAVO!!!
I purposely quoted this entire message because I like it that much.
Spot on accurate! Jesus I'm so freakin tired of the drama-assholes like
the recent one we have here. Also known as trolls; hopefully to be gone
soon.
Again, well written and thanks!
