Unpopular OPINION

Hi again ^_^
It's not ignorant, they just not interested in the lgbtq+ community and are interested yaoi. Just because you don't have an interest in trees doesn't mean you can't have an interest in books

People. Are. Allowed. To. Have. Opinions.

Just because they can't type well doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to express themselves. They're not lgbtphobic, they just don't care if the lgbtq+ people are roaming around or not.

Stop telling them to shut up because they don't have an opinion on stuff.

Bro, you cool but I think the person does understand, they just don't care if lgbtq+ people are roaming or not.

With all due respect, I dont think this thread quite understands what supporting the LGBT community means.

Supporting the LGBT community simply means letting us exist without discriminating or critisizing.

When you say you don't support the LGBT community, we assume you dont like gay people or transgender people - since we cannot understand why you would be against an entire indentification for existing, (its like saying you dont support blondes) hence bubblegums anger.

The reading yaoi arguement is a little hypocritical, like if you dont support gay people, how come you like reading stories about men touching eachothers dicks?

Just my two cents ╮(￣▽￣)╭

owogres comment**

they're..... people

ヾ(☆▽☆) thankyou for understanding my opinion and I totally get what you are saying, I just assume support as in the definition bit plus what ever is supported but if that's how you interpret it as I can understand why some people would be outraged. Idk I just thought it was obvious that the original opinion was having the same defintion as mine. Thankyou for your two cents (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

You triggered people here. xD
But I personnally get your point.
Instead of calling people homophobic, how about saying what support means ?
How do you "support" a community you're not even part of ? Like I'd go around "hey bro ! You're gay ? Stay strong, I'm with you" or "hello, I'm hetero and I support lgbtq." as "support" in "help/encourage"?
Or maybe "support" as in "aknowledge" it ? Well, I aknowledge lgbtq: "yes, they like same genre/weren't born in the right body." that's all. More like I don't care. They do whatever they want with their life. That's all there is to it to me.
I have gay friends. I don't care about what they do in bed. It doesn't concern me, they're still my friends. If it pleases people to call this "support" then, call it support. It won't change them, nor you. You don't arm them in anyway, that's what matters.

lmao its free speech, support them or dont, idc.

Honestly,what do you think supporting means? It means that if someone around me tells me that they are lgbt, I won't change my behavior around them,I won't tell them they are sick or abnormal,I won't ask them to change themselves and I continue being a good supportive friend. Supporting lgbt doesn't mean I want everyone to be lgbt or I'll shame them if they are not. That's why you can't say "I don't support them and don't hate them either", it's just a weak attempt of keeping both homophobes and lgbt supporters on good terms with yourself and it always FAILS. Develope an actual opinion ,not some statement that doesn't mean a thing when you actually think logically about it. That statement is just lazy,that's why people get angry when they hear it.

Hi, I've decided to be white knight for this post becuase I have no life. Why should they develop an opinion? If they're straight and they have no stake holdership in this then why should they be forced to make an opinion.

It's not lazy, they just don't have a reason to be involved since I assume they're straight

And by the way, "support" check the definition, another person pointed out your defintion BUT for alot people, myself including, support means to actively go yes I like lgbtq+.

I'm straight too and I support lgbt, do I have anything to earn from this?nope,but I want the society to be a better place for other people too,they have the right to feel they belong in their society just like I do. If someone is white does it mean they shouldn't have any opinion about the prejudice against people of color? Does being a man mean they shouldn't have an opinion on misogyny? Is this justifiable? Or is it just plain lazy and selfish to only think about myself and ignore what goes on in the society.

Thats ok, glad you're so understanding ^_^

Well that's your opinion, you can't force people to be interested in stuff they're not interested in. As much as yeah, it's good if people help people stigmatized against, you can't force them to have an opinion.

And if you haven't realised, this whole experience with this goddamn comment section could be the reason the person starts hating the lgbtq+ community.

If a person is neutral let them be neutral.

and oh, if you'll refer to my username when you insult me.

The wage gap isn't real, there is no pink tax and I swear to god if you shove that rape statistic down my throat I will throw it up and shove it up your ass.

Let people have opinions you close minded person, it doesn't matter if you're trying to help people, if you shove your opinion onto someone, you're a "bigot" just like people who justify throwing stones at lgbtq+ people.

What?! When did I insult you or your username?what are you talking about?

I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone,but when someone shares their opinion they should know that there will be people who disagree. Honestly,why are you trying to make a villain out of me? All I tried to do was bring reasons as to why being neutral isn't really a thing in this situation;you are not forced to accept my reasons,we are just debating a subject.

Misogyny has nothing to do with wage gap and whatever else you mentioned and it exists in the world,it might not be as big in the first world countries but it is a huge deal in a lot of others.

Why do you keep insulting me?do I not have a right to share my opinion?anyone opposing you is close-minded?

I never said they were, it’s people like them. You “fucking dipshit”.

Are you saying that you used a similie for no reason? You obviously insinuated that it is the people who don't have an opinion about lgbtq+ are the ones killing people. Which I believe is entirely untrue, it's the people who hate lgbtq+ people the ones making people uncomfortable, don't pin assholes onto people who are neutrals.

I somewhat doubt that I am the "Dipshit" considering I "insult" people by pointing out the fact that they are wrong, not by using basic af insults such as "fucking dipshit", but you know, I could be wrong (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I think, maybe, what he/she's trying to say about people who doesn't have an opinion (are the one's killing them), is that, people who don't take action and are simply neutral is also responsible for what is happening to the memeber's of LGBTQ+...

And somehow, that would make sense in a way. Neutral parties will not take action, therefore they will simply watch whatever is happening. And that would be much worse. I agree with everyone than having no opinion doesn't make the person homophobic, but we also must remember that, without action, and simply watching, is also a choice with consequences.

There has been a lot of LGBTQ+ members who have been bullied and hurt in public, and although there are some who would stand up and help them, there are still a lot of those who would simply watch or ignore what is happening.
