    Using a pejorative name to refer to LGBT… you’re not helping your argument with that one.

      When I say “the alphabet mafia,” I’m not talking about gay people, bisexual people, etc. I’m referring to the bully activists who go around stirring shit and spreading lies about society and claim to represent gay and bisexual (etc.) people.

          Correct. Because I don’t rant against gay people and people telling me to stop are effecting a slander against me. It doesn’t help me, and it doesn’t help gay people. All they are doing is stirring shit and profiting from it.

        I mean, look— I don’t like holier-than-thou activists either, but you need to make a distinction between them, actual activists, and the groups they’re representing. The former is an extreme minority.

        Instead of being distrustful of the movement and making yourself look like an ass by preemptively attacking, your energy is better spent not bothering. In the event you encounter a nutjob, go troll them or tell them to pound sand. I promise you, as long as you aren’t on (formerly Twitter) or Tumblr circa 2016, it’s not as common as you think.

          There are no “actual activists.” There are no causes. The only thing left to fight for is the right to indoctrinate very young school children into gender ideology and show them, graphically, how to be gay.

            You cannot show anybody how to be gay. You are either born gay, or you aren’t. Sexuality is not a choice. You need to better educate yourself.

            There are gay animals, my guy. If you’re against something as simple and widely accepted as gay rights, I don’t know what to tell you.

            For the sake of your future kids, please don’t have any, though. I’d hate for your kid to turn out gay, trans, or ace.

            My dude… “They” don’t want to make your children gay. They just don’t want your children bullying and beating up children who are.
