It's not that serious. Your neighbour or co-worker might not understand gay people, I don't care about that.
What I care about is when people are actively pushing back against progressive policies which benefit LGBT people (at the expense of absolutely fucking nobody) just for the sake of being a stubborn mard, or because their little medieval fairy tale book tells them their sky daddy doesn't like gays. I also don't like this fucking obnoxious "there's a gay agenda!" mentality. My "agenda" is to freely have relationships and possibly get married, and not to be attacked or fired, I don't think that's too much to ask.
Not everyone has to "understand" or kiss the arses of LGBT people, I don't need that.
But in response to this "why do we have "(blank) rights" when everyone should just have the same rights?" question, that's easy. You already have all your rights right in front of you, which you either don't see or you take for granted. There's no point in white people asking for the right to not be racially profiled by the police, because that doesn't happen. Some rights struggles are minority-specific and drawing attention to that is necessary to make progress. Maybe then, and only then, can we stop being "divisive" and look at rights collectively.
Its really a misconception and transference of guilt that we have been bombarded with from those yahoos behind the pulpit.
The Bible does not say anything about gays in the secular sense. Romans, they love to quote does not mention homosexuals. The word wasn't invented until the 19th century by a psychologist. There was no such word back thousands of years ago.
The Leviticus verse that they love to shout is out of context. Leviticus is an instructional book, on how to be a Levite priest. It instructs them on certain behaviors that are expected of them and prohibited to them. It tells them what to eat, what to drink and how to dress. Levite priests aren't around anymore.
Temple sex prostitution male or female was frowned upon. The word abomination is used, abomination is not a bad thing necessarily, it basically means, against tradition against their belief system. Eating meat to a vegan is an abomination. Going out without makeup on is an abomination to some women.
However the transference of their guilt comes into play when they make it out that the whole Bible preaches against homosexuality. What is mentioned quite frequently in both old and new Testaments is ADULTERY. Whey do we hear more about homosexuality from those religious camps. Because most of those guys are guilty of it. Then there are those who preach against homosexuality only to be caught in a hotel/motel room with gay escorts.
Unfortunately, giving rights and fighting discrimination for minorities has transformed into giving them privileges, such as (real case): some university from US had 2 applicants for the job of teaching engineering: a white hetero man (uuumh fucking privileged) and a black lesbian woman. The man (as we might expect) was the best for the job, and he got it. The crazy ass woman sued the uni, won, and the uni was forced to fire the man and hire the lesbian, just because she is a minority and she put that in court as the reason why she didnt get the job. See, if you give rights and social promotion to minorities, they start literally taking your food from your mouth. Which is why, I think I would be so happy in the 20th century with the patriarchy, white male hetero privilege and stuff. At least you had some order in the society. I think I was too harsh on race, should go just with hetero men.
Note its just my opinion, please control your comunist rage and dont call me a fuckin privileged homophobe. Instead, bring up facts or personal opinions, thank you.
Why are gays accepted?
