Are you the deep end? :ph34r:
Pretty spooky stuff ngl
I never threatened you, I just wished death upon you :D
And I said upset not mad, I'm sure there is a whole Rollercoaster of emotions going on inside right now, let it all out, I am here for you (not really)
id guess a puddle is the deep end for you when it comes to debate. and not for lack of intellect, you're not an idiot, just lazy. its easy to just critique posts from the sideline, its hard to actually answer questions when they're asked of you specifically. you're basically a pard architype, the lazy "do your own research" poster who drops dozens of posts but wont actually engage.

One could argue that homosexuality has more rights and acceptance than any other demographic in our current time. The gay community has a lot of power. If there's still a stigma on the gay community, I'm not hearing it personally. Whether you are turning on the most recent TV drama, watching a Football game or engaging in a commercial, there are welcomed homosexual characters within all of these settings. I find them more to be celebrated than frowned on, but of course there will be people that will never be accepting of a certain demographic of people. It's a shame they are all glamorized into one copious group, I don't think the gay community belongs within the LGBTQ2+ acronym... should look something like LGB/////////TQ2+. I understand that since many transitioning people are or will be gay because of their transition that they found this to be an appropriate setting for everyone to hang their coat, but it does cast a shadow on the gay community IMO. I do agree that trans people will remain societal outcasts. One demographic requires no body modification and chemical treatments to be themselves.
tl;dr too bad gays are part of the LGBTQ2+ acronym
this is a sentiment some gay people share, they're upset with the intersectionality of their movement. to their credit the lack of questioning trans people have gotten led to the statement "they'll do the same with pedos". then pedos tried to enter the movement under the M.A.P. (minor attracted person) acronym and were soundly rebuffed and denied entrance.
on the whole though i'd argue the black community still has a lot more social power than the gay community, although i'd argue the gay community among minorities ranks 2nd.
