Do You Respect The LGBTQ Community?


As a member of the LGBTQ community in terms of my romantic orientation I personally think the environment we live in is very challenging currently. I do believe that challenge exists on both sides where non LGBTQ people use gay as a callout in a similar manner to DaBaby as well as gay potentially being used in joking matters such as "bro why you gotta be so gay?" I have also seen some LGBTQ people use terms such as breeders or normies when they refer to straight people. I do believe when most people think of respecting the LGBTQ community they think of being sensitive with what they say. I think it's important to realize you don't always need to be sensitive depending on who you talk to. Some people in the LGBTQ community including myself used to consider themselves as straight before they became a part of the LGBTQ community and some of us don't care when people use gay in a joking manner because we understand it might be a part of someone's humor for whatever reason. I think it's always good for people to be educated though as to why most people in the LGBTQ community dislike gay callouts in popular culture and in general. Simply put, when you call someone gay in a similar manner to DaBaby, some people will feel offended because they don't specifically identify sexually as gay and you essentially assumed their sexual orientation which is a big time no-no for LGBTQ members. I'm glad DaBaby is staying educated and I know he truly loves his fans but in all honesty I feel sad for him that he does have to deal with this highly challenging environment we live in where if you say one thing without realizing what your saying then you can offend a specific group of people and then you have to essentially release statements similar to his. Honestly for now I'm gonna give DaBaby a pass as a LGBTQ member because this was his first instance of using gay in this way in a song and yes I agree he's a hypocrite in terms of his lyrics but honestly I believe most people are hypocrites in some way so hopefully everyone can learn a lesson from this and also if you don't like DaBaby's lyrics there are tons of music artists out there that have LGBTQ friendly lyrics.
My opinion is similar to yours, but a bit more detailed. The average street rapper talks about killing other black males, selling poisoning, and disrespecting women in our communities, but the LGBT or any other group say nothing when they hear these lyrics. If rhey're only saying something now, that should tell you how these "progressives" feel about black people. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which is worse...
I agree with you. I dont mind homosexuals but lbgt is a cult and bullshit. I mean their parade include people with fetish when kids are around but they call this parade family friendly. What has your sexual orientation to do with weird fetishes? Wtf are people with weird fetishes doing in the parade? Why are there people in bdsm clothes or naked? How tf is this family friendly. Do i have to see your almost naked body while you dance in public?
It is is fucking hypocritical how they are ok with using sexist swear words like c*nt, wh*re, bitch etc. but i can't use the word f*g without getting called homophobic. I am fully ok when people are using sexist insults like c*nt etc but i also want to have the right to use politically incorrect words. Nobody is politically correct when insulting anyone. So why can't i use the word f*g while you are political incorrect and use sexist words when it benefits you.
Trans community become bullshit too due to non binary and gender bs and sexism towards biological women due to transwomen being part of the female sport and sexism towards mothers since they get called birthing people.
I respect those that respect me. I've never been a fan of DaBaby, but I also don't see where he singled out the LGBTQ. If anyone should be upset, it's those actually infected with HIV/AIDS. That's it. The LGBTQ "community" was never targeted so that they've hijacked this whole cancel party thing is really weird. And all these festivals don't care about them or their cause. It's really just monkey see, monkey do atp.

I’m part of the community.
What exactly are you getting at? The community at large felt offended and decided to not support him. Oh well. That is capitalism for you. Everyone can take their money and attention anywhere they like for whatever reason they choose.
Are the lgbt+ supposed to cape for EVERY single identifiable group out there? If women want to throw their money at that the rapper guy knowing his behavior towards them, that is their choice. Just like it’s anybody else’s choice to do the opposite 😂 If private organizations no longer want to associate with you because of bad publicity so the fuck what? What you say and do has consequences at some point. You can still say whatever you want and not go to jail. That’s freedom of speech. No one is obligated to listen to your music or attend your festivals or speak positively about you. So when you poke the wrong bear, that shit is on you. And the lgbt+ shouldn’t be demonized for standing against what THEY believe in. You don’t have to agree. If you want to champion someone who calls themselves “dababby” then do so. No one is stopping you. And if you wanna see the dude perform live, take that shit up with the event organizers that booted him out. They made the decision, not queer people.
Can you not read? And I’m not reading all that lmao
Loving the dislikes you got, clearly most don’t agree with you.
I'm bi but I don't like being attached to the modern "LGBT movement". Now that being gay is legal and you can legally marry someone of the same sex in pretty much every western country, there isn't any need for a "movement" anymore, so all that's left is petty things that get blown way out of proportion.
There's a vocal minority of LGBT people that give the rest of us a bad name. They need to just go about their lives or if they wanna be activists, actually push things that matter these days like freedom of speech or the whole abortion debacle
Respect the plight but don't respect the community so to speak. To me there's a mix up between respect, courtesy, and praise.
I have courtesy for everyone. I'll show some praise for something commendable. But I reserve respect for something that shows serious character.
There are many gay individuals I respect, but the gay community I do not have respect for. But I'd say the same for my black community or any community for that matter that is labeled by identity rather than actions.
Like I have respect for The Marine Corp and all Marines as a baseline. They've all done something to earn my respect just by nature of becoming a Marine. All that's involved. A Marine has to do a bit for me to lose respect for him because he has my respect at the start.
Just being gay or being black or being any other group doesn't come with implications of admirable/respectable actions. So 🤷♂️
Respect is EARNED, not given, it’s time young punks in America figure that out. NO, I do NOT respect their “ community, they are pushy, predatory, openly pursuing young Americans, trying to transform America into some alternate fantasy porn universe. Do I have common courtesy towards everyone in America, yes.
Yes I support and respect them, or rather those that are not extremists.
in addition to my sister being Bi, I have close friends across the spectrum.
I am all for rights and not being discriminated against, however when things start getting high jacked by extreme views etc, then the entire thing becomes counter productive.
D: Respect is earned and not given. That is my policy for people in general and it is very much on as individual bases as well. Because when we start thinking of people in terms of groups it can often lead to group think and allowing the actions of a few to spoil our view on a whole group.
I don't feel anything against them I just feel they exeggerate this community way too much, people nowadays started to be gay cause they see it as a ''trend'' lmao. They think if they be someone from this community then people will see them as someone educated or valuable.. just fk that shit.
As long as they be away from me, I don't care about their existence.
I respect them. But I hate when they force their rainbow and their opinion to me (at football, in shops etc.). And I am unhappy that because of this minority there is so big LGBTQ+ march. It's called Prague Pride and it's from Prague money - money of me, my family, my neighbor, everybody from Prague. Why are we so concentrating on minorities in this age?
I am not homophobic and I have no problem with these people. Why should I have problem with them? I am also not perfect, I am short for example. But I am scared that one day there would be also protests of for example short people... Everybody is different and I will not say anybody what I think he should do. Just don't force your things to me.
54% do not respect them !!! THIS SCARES ME TO A POINT OF SERIOUSLY GETTING PISSED AT ALL THE VOTERS THAT SAID THEY DO NOT RESPECT THEM.
Seriously?
Look, even I can come to a point to not agree with opinions at all, especially when it comes to this topic, I CAN'T I SIMPLY CAN'T AGREE with a homophobic prick, that's what you all are.
It's sad, i expected G@G Community to have a healthier mindset
I don’t respect that toxic predatory community. I do respect individuals who treat me with mutual respect, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or identity.
@DarkWinterNights This was not about the toxic predatory but simply the community itself. AND LOOK AT THE VOTES, i'm seriously ashamed for each and every one.
I don't care about them. Their existence doesn't harm nor benefit me in any way. Why should I care?
What pisses me off about them is how easily offended some of them are by certain things, like merely stating a preference. I get some pricks are disrespectful about it. But they also do this to the ones who just put it straightforward with no disrespect intended. Meanwhile they can say whatever their preferences are in graphic detail. It's stupid really.
On the bright side, they're nice people and are more likely to understand someone going through something that others might consider embarrassing.
I have ZERO problem with anyone who's gay or trans or whatever.
But that "community" is vile and I stay as far away from it as possible. They say they want to be seen as normal people and yet the hypersexualise everything.
I heard it even bullies its own members if they don't agree with them on everything.
Nope. They've crossed too many lines, and are proud of their degeneracy. It's no longer about rights, it's about normalizing their broken lifestyles and indoctrinating children. They're evil at this point.
Yeah I do respect them
Now, I've had great interactions with the LGBTQIA+ community
People who don't respect or straight-up hate LGBTQIA+ may have had terrible or just not fun to experience interactions with them
Aight scratch my first statement.
I LOVE LGBTQIA+, period
Respect is earned. For me it doesn't matter if someone is LGBTQ. If you work hard and do good to others, you are a resolute and determined person, you have my respect. I work with a few gay men and women whom I am proud to back up and support. Conversely, if you're a whiner, complainer, lazy and use your sexual or gender orientation to demand respect, then you do yourself and the entire LGBTQ community a significant disservice.
Yes, I think people just are annoyed by stereotypical "oh my gosh yassszzz kayceeeee" type "gay" guys, and there's the stereotype lesbians have attitude issues.
Also the stereotype bi people are freaks who will date and get with anyone, in movies with bi people as well, they are often involved in cheating issues.
Being a demisexual in the asexual spectrum, i am kinda a part of the community but i don't care much about it. If it gives courage to some people to come out, that's a good thing
Women bashing was and still is normalised. These days if we stand up against it, we will be called a fat feminazi.
Anyway i don't know who tf dababby or some baby is
Of course, everyone is just who they are. I think it’s unnecessary that we need society’s approval or opinions to be who we are. It’s like asking society to have approval of being a straight female. Respect & acceptance should be universal.
AMEN TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
I respect them as individuals but I also have different beliefs that are based on Christianity. I don’t hate or support them. There’s no point in hating. What I do hate is when some people think not supporting = homophobic. Just because I don’t support doesn’t mean i hate them or have prejudice towards them. The only thing I hate is people who have bad attitudes who bully by calling you a bad person for having different morals.
I don't approve of the lifestyle. Our creator evolved Adam and Eve, NOT STEVE. Plus, it is a PROVEN fact these lifestyles are Psychological, and some snap out of it and some don't.
I hate that group and they say Im part of them because I am Bi and a. Crossdressing transvestite.
I dont want nothing to do with the hate group. Yes, I said it, LGBTQ is nothing more then a hate group.
They are helping kill the USA.
I don't have a reason not to respect them. Back when gay marriage was legalised, I was furious and felt that as a disrespect for straight marriage.. But after I saw the scientific explanation of sexual orientation, I understood. And I felt ok to it... as long as they are not harming anybody.
Do i have to respect you so you can be what you are?
Do people have to respect so i can be who i am? 🤷♂️
Oh, shit, I clicked Yes but didn't see the I'm LGBTQ until I'd already voted.
I'm LGBTQ.
NOI absolutely loath them with ever ounce of hate I can hold in within me without "exploding" People assume I'm a homosexual when I'm not & people in general (neighbors, classmates, work employees) have destroyed my reputation by passing along false rumors that I'm gay I have no family/friends or outside connections that will be suffice evidence to support that I'm not part of these bullshit community
I’m not part of the community but what Da baby said is 100% wrong and he deserves what he gets. No celebrity should be able to get away with using their power and status to divide, which is what he was trying to do on top of misinforming his audience with arrogance.
Only thing that was completely wrong about what she said was the std jokes how is saying for men who don’t suck Dick in parking lots to lift their phones up wrong? It’s not
It’s 100% wrong. Celebrities need to be held accountable. They make millions up to billions. For us regular people to even justify the wrongs of celebrities is absurd.
What’s absurd is you people only complaining about this little thing dababy said compared to tons of fucked up stuff tons of rappers have said
Don’t see you complaining about him calling women bitches and hoes all day but oh let him talk about men sucking Dick in the parking lot it’s a huge problem
What he says in music can be ignored , what he says to his audience can divide and cause chaos during an event intended to be fun. I’ve been to tons of rap concerts from future, meek Mills, summer jam, and Jada kiss and they all kept it respectful to their audience
His agenda was to cause division during an event. It was said at a concert.
I even saw Kanye and he kept it respectful
Omg! Not a girl who listens to future being bothered about dababy 🤣🤣🤡 just destroyed everything you said. Sucks for you
You’re the clown for thinking someone doesn’t need to be held accountable. Sucks for him, not me. Be a little more careful with what you say, and you wouldn’t get thrown out of events that care about customers money over the artist
I have no sympathy for artists that don’t bite their tongue and don’t expect consequences. I don’t support everything the LGBQT community does, but there’s a line where you need to bite your tongue
You’re a fool. We’re done here. That should have been clear from my last comment. Go be fake concerned somewhere else Future listener.
Everyone who doesn’t is a homophobe. Change my mind.
AIDS can be contracted from anybody. Try again.
That doesn’t mean only gay people spreads AIDS. Try again.
😆 that still doesn’t mean that AIDS is only because of gays.
I’m libertarian. That means do as you want just as long your bs doesn’t interfere with my life.
Originally the alphabet people seemingly had this approach. But that’s not what’s going on now. I can give multiple examples of how they HAVE interfered with other peoples lives and beliefs.
I don't stand with lgbt community. At the same time I don't stand against lgbt community. We're just off doing our separate things
yes
I feel dababy was drunk or high and made a shitty edgy joke
I respect them as people... I don't have any more or less respect for them on account of being gay though.
No, I don't respect the community, but I respect individuals. I don't support a community because they tend to be extremists
I don't really buy that LGBTQ community is even a thing. There are individual people that are typically one of those things (and very rarely any more than one), but that's about it. It's not like they all hang out together.
i have a LGBTQ brother so of course, He only has came out to me which sucks tbh
As someone who may identify as poly and pansexual, of course. I wear pride stuff every now and then, and several cute pride Vans shoes.
No I think they are nasty mentally ill hype sexual people.
That try spread and rationalize there own sickness on children to raise another group of them
You must be talking about straight people.
@snowboarder720 Ooh sick burn man
It wasn’t an insult. 🤷♂️
@snowboarder720 Oh shi-
0_0
First off yes I respect the LGBTQ community. And secondly almost all rappers degrade women dababy he’s not alone it’s unfortunate but that’s not a good argument because that’s not something that he exclusively does
I respect the members of LGBT community that act in a respectful manner.
My respect is earned. Theyre just people to me, the flesh is weak.
I accept someone being one, but respect is something that earned. Most are okay but some are radical and pushy.
I don't care one way or the other. I treat everyone the same regardless of their preferences
The alphabet gang is the biggest group of bullies on the planet. Intolerant toward those who disagree. They don't want tolerance. They want compliance. It's disheartening to see so many give in to their bullying tactics.
I am bi but like... I'm not a part of it because I do nothing except do work and live a sort of depressing life. You know? I'm just like hi, I exist but nothing else. I just don't like hate.
I don't care as long as you don't get in my way we will always be good im not treating you like a superior or inferior human being than my fellow men/women period
I respect everyone that is just part of living however the moment you disrespect me I lose respect for you so the minute they start causing trouble I hand it back
Nobody should ever respect a faggot, those people are scumbags and 🗑
Absolutely
There should be an option of "I'm lgbt but I do not respect other lgbt people" ahahah, I'm joking dw
Not in the least. They’ve become a bunch of attention wh*res
I respect them but it doesn't mean I agree with a lot of the things they do.
We are obligated to respect other people's freedom.
Oh look what a surprise the right wing cesspool that is this app is yet again a right wing cesspool
I can't respect anyone who values what they are over what they do.
Nope I certainly do not respect anyone because of whom they love to sleep with lol.
I'm indifferent to them, But apparently they make a lot of big Corporations lots of money. I loathe their supporters.
Yes, I respect people's different sexual orientations and gender identities.
No, not when they don't respect the 1st Amendment rights of others.
I've never been a dababy fan. He's always came across as ghetto and uneducated
Like i accept that if they don't go too far... I mean they could not make marches or anything because it just causes community to dislike them... They could just live as they are
No no I do not but to be fair I’m not a respectful person never have been never will be it’s not in me 😂
The LGBTQ Community has become the same thing they hated. so, no I don't respect them as whole anymore.
I respect those of the LGBTQ community that are not toxic, community policing assholes.
