I have no issue with the LGB part of that. I have friends and acquaintances who are gay and don't judge them as different. People can sleep with who they want. I don't understand the attraction of sleeping with someone of the same sex, but they can do what they want and I won't judge one way or the other.
It's the transgender part of this that I have an issue with. You say in your question that it is 2018 so we should "get used to it." That right there is a huge part of my issue with trannys. If they want to mutilate their genitals, play dress up as the opposite sex and claim they are something they aren't, they are free to do so. However, when they start shoving these beliefs down normal people's throats and start trying to make changes to how society functions to better accommodate them, we then have issues. Transgenders make up less than 1% of the U. S. population, yet they think society as a whole should change how they do things. No more him or her, you need to ask what someone's pronouns are and if you don't you need to go to jail. We also need to let biological men into women's restrooms and vice versa, even though the majority of trannys never go through with the surgery and still have their correct biological genitalia. Also if we straight males don't want to date a biological man who now claims to be a woman, we are transphobic (that goes vice versa as well). Why should straight males be forced to be attracted to another biological male (who in all likelihood still has a dick, or if he doesn't has a fake vagina), just because they wear a dress? The fact that they, as less than 1% of the population, think they can change how the rest of us do things and think they can change biology is completely ridiculous. Transgenderism is a mental illness, what they really need is to be put through treatment to help them cure the illness, they don't need people tolerating and encouraging it which will only make it worse. So that is the issue i have with the transgender community. We shouldn't be "getting used to them," they can do what they want but they need to " get used to" people addressing them by their actual male or female pronoun, using the bathroom they are supposed to based on their sex, and normal people not wanting to date them. Also they should "get used to" science and biology because you can't change it.
it being 2018 has no weight as an argument. i don't get why people try and conflate the year with progress.
i have no issue with the lgbt community. i have no issue with gay marriage, couldnt care less who you find attractive or choose to date. you do you, i'll do me.
i do have an issue with how identity politics is becoming hilariously overcomplicated as sensitive people try and find a new name for what is basically the same trait as other people have. hundreds of genders, people having kneejerk reactions to people finding people of certain descriptors attractive, or calling someone trans.
I think it's because of how we act sometimes more than our lifestyles. We demand tolerance, but we don't tolerate those with different views than our own. Yes I disagree with them, and yes I wish we could all be happy with who we are, but you can't expect everyone to like you. We have it better than we've ever had it. We're not beat in the street anymore for who we are. Yes we suffer some discrimination, but if the main extent of it is that we can't get a cake made, but we can get married to who we love, and reap all the benifits of it, I'll take my pound of flesh and live and let live.
Because it’s new and different and people are telling them it’s bad for no reason.
And maybe because there used to be so many laws against those things? So people have that mental carryover from those times?
I think it's because a good handful try to force/shove it in their face. Like, if you don't romantically like gays/lesbians, you're homophobic. If you don't romantically like transsexuals, you're transphobic.
Quite honestly it's beyond me how people still lack basic tolerance and understanding - it's not like we're trying to force people to turn gay or change their gender, we just want a little bit of respect 🙄

Im against the community but not what it stands for. In that I'm completely for the rights of gays, lesbians, trans people, etc BUT I've found that the community has become toxic and is falling down the same poisonous rabbit hole of feminism whereby everyone who isn't part of that group is now an enemy. All this nonsense with people losing their jobs over misuse of pronouns or people being labelled transphobic for not wanting to date a trans person, basically creating issues where none need exist is why im against the community. I wish everyone who is part of it all the luck in the world and i would fight for their rights... but the community as a whole is no longer something I can support
Christians are mostly offended because it goes against the Bible.
Well the biggest thing is there's this big thing of oh it doesn't affect you just let me be happy. But first of most of all Transgenders and "genderfluid demiboykins and such" will force their identities down your throat regardless of scientific fact of difference sex in their brains. Also I don't really have anything directly against gay people. But I'm not completely supportive of it because I can't imagine gay people getting a fullness of joy that a straight person could have in a straight relationship. They can't have natural kids and they lack the natural dichotomy. Men and women really complete each other and I can't see the same for same gendered relationships.
Sorry got a little side tracked. But the reason people hate the LGBTQ community is because they're vile in the pride parades where they do disgusting sexual things in public and even involve children. Also people see it as unnatural and they don't want to have to see such things. I'm not for what they believe in but they think it's also sin (at least the religious types) and they don't want to have sin being rampant through their surroundings. Some have just been taught to hate. Some fear it because they can see that part in themselves. Some people are mostly against the marriage because marriage has always been meant as a sacred act between a man and a woman. Many see it as an attack on the family as natural families cannot be made from gay relationships. Children of gay parents have trouble understanding the opposite gender and feel like they have no choice in the matter of being straight or gay, they don't have a role model for both genders. They don't understand both genders well enough to empathize well. It has actually been showing that problems insue there, often problems similar psychologically to single parents households.
This kind of stuff is my reason for disagreement. I don't hate people based on their sexual orientation, but this kind of stuff is just something that i call mental illness
1. That attitude is one of the main reasons. So what if it's 2018? It doesn't make a difference! Besides, why should I be forced into accepting something?
2. When accidentally misgendering someone can get you fired from your job, and fined for hate speech, something is really fucking wrong. That isn't tolerant at all. It is scientifically proven that there are two genders for most living organisms. Male and Female. You are what you're born as, and that is something that you can't change no matter what you want.
3. Why should I support something I can't relate to?
Firstly it's 2018 so get used to the LGBT community.
Lol that's not a valid reason nor excuse, that's like saying it's 1000 AD so you had better get used to being raped and sold into slavery.
Why should I or anyone else for that matter accept or be forced to accept a transgender for example?
Medical professionals say that if I cut off my own hand or leg that I'm mentally unstable and should be locked up and given psychiatric help.
Yet if a person cuts off their own dick or breasts and has their own vagina sewed up and a fake dick attached and unnatural hormones that there body doesn't produced in high levels forced into their bodies that they are perfectly sane, stable and healthy individuals in society.
Why should I be forced to accept someone that mutilates themselves and suffers from an actual mental disorder, recognized by medical professionals and backed by science. Showing that this person is not stable or mentally right.
Because some people just chose to hate what they can’t understand.
Cos the lgbt community started representing imaginary genders instead of just simply asking for some rights for homosexuals. Plus their way of asking for rights and "raising awareness" is stupid.
well for starters isn't it lgbtq now and there adding a A also, well for secondly all our lives r about to effect urs and how u c things a certain way and ur emotions towards the matter, thirdly idc who dates who but to answer ur question in 10 years kids that r straight will probably be picked on and it will be weird to be straight like the whole thing is gonna do a 180 which is bad that we can't just have neutralism
Where I live, people don't. At least not as a general. Sure, there are individuals, but we're people. There's always going to be some people who are against anything they aren't.
I think most people don't really care , whats others do with their life, however it's the LGBT community seems to be the ones complaining. If you refuse to date a bisexual or a Transgender. Then they label you homophobic and transphobic. So maybe the LGBT needs to look at themselves and decide it they want to be treated as everyone else, or if they constantly want to complain for everything.
Are they or do they not really care. Some lgbt folks get made when there is no drama that they invent persecutions. If they want drama they should visit the middle East where gays are thrown off tall buildings
Some people will use any excuse to be evil and hate others.
I don't support lgbt and im against it , but i wouldn't bully someone who is lgbt or be mean to them idc tbh but i still find lgbt very wrong
I don't hate them, I just don't understand it that's all. But I don't find them less good people or anything.
Because men are afraid of being treated the same way that they treat women.
I think some people are put off by the demands for special legal protection and such.
are they?
for all the bellend nutjobs choosing to judge there are twice as many who care little for what folks do in a sexual sense
Trans are disgusting and should be forced by law to represent themself as such at first time they meet someone.
It affects our lives because they boast about it so much, sorta like vegans and feminists
