Do the LGBTQ people deserve special treatment?

First off I don’t like those people not because their lifestyle ( which is really nobody else’s business but theirs don’t know why they’re so comfortable talking about that stuff it’s inappropriate to be honest you can do you without being so vulgar ) but because they feel they are owed some special type of treatment and it’s like they go out of their way to interject their preferences into normal conversation it’s like okay we get it why do they put so much energy into that stuff at this point it’s just annoying I refuse to believe these people are so boring and uninteresting that they have to make this their entire identity like they’re literally just making sht up and wtf is up with that whole pronoun thing English and literature professors must be in an uproar and but anyways what do y’all think? (stop saying gender fluid that sounds really gross)

Special treatment? No.

Equal treatment? Absolutely.

Up until 2015, we couldn't even get married in every state of the US. Until 2020, we could still be fired for being gay. You didn't have to worry about that as a heterosexual. So the reason we even need to "make a big deal" out of it is to keep from being marginalized by people who don't agree with our relationships.

As for the conversation part of it...

You don't notice it because it is normal speech to you but people make heterosexual references all the time. It isn't until you hear something that goes against what you are used to, that it becomes noticable.

We are talking about our partners just as anyone else would talk about theirs. When I say, "my wife and I are going on vacation", it isn't to call out that I am gay. If you say it are you trying to reference you are straight? Of course not and that's the point. Hear it enough and eventually it won't stand out as us trying to shove an agenda as much as it is us trying to just have a normal conversation.

  First off gay people already had equal rights you can’t fire someone for being gay it’s illegal and has been illegal for almost 60 years on a side note how would they even know you’re gay nowhere on an application does it ask you about that and as for the conversation part saying your wife is redundant to the topic you could’ve just said “I’m going on vacation “ and someone would reply “oh! Where to?”

  Except no, it hasn't been. Supreme Court didn't even rule on it until last year in a case involving a transgender woman. Bostock vs Clayton County.
  
  If I say I'm going on vacation then how does that imply whether I'm going alone or with someone? If I say I'm going on vacation I'd get where to and then I'd get "are you going alone?"

  That because it was already illegal If it wasn’t illegal and a direct violation of constitutional law the appeal wouldn’t have been authorized and the case wouldn’t have even made it to the Supreme Court
  
  And those are unnecessary details when you only need to give basic information look at it like this Who?/You What?/Vacation the only questions left to ask where when why and how anything else is unnecessary

  And if it wasn't happening then we wouldn't need a Supreme Court case within the last decade to settle it
  
  I dont think it is necessarily your place to determine how others have their conversations though you are more than welcome to tune out of them. Some, like myself, like to be a bit more descriptive and save future questions by providing more details in my answers. Some of just like talking and sharing.

  Wdym settled? It was already settled it was a blatant violation like statutory rape there is no defense for it and it took so long because the Supreme Court had much more important stuff to deal with
  
  So you agree that it’s clunky and expositional I’m not saying it shouldn’t be allowed but that’s just basic linguistics and I was talking more about those pronoun people they’re doing too much especially when so many people already have learning disabilities

  It took them 60 years to deal with more important cases? What?
  
  Let's see just to name a few... oh here's one.
  
  2002 - a ruling that allowed Jehovah's witnesses to knock on your door without needing a permit.
  
  1981- patents on executable programs on computers being legal
  
  Yeah, definitely way more important than civil rights.
  
  We add new words and definitions to words ALL the time in the English language. How is someone using a pronoun different?
- TsAubreyKate

  A lot of stuff is more important than civil rights especially for us over privileged Americans no that wasn’t important because the law has already been established the fact that they even had a case for that is ridiculous
  
  Because one person can’t be they that’s just nonsense I could see if it was slang but to try and pretend it’s grammatically correct is just ignorance

  Civil rights is some of the founding basis of our country. There should be no more important thing to protect than equal rights here. Half the states in the US were still doing their own thing. This just ratified it as a federal thing. That is why it was important.
  
  What specifically isn't grammatically correct?

  Are civil rights more important than murder your response to this question is gonna end this conversation
- Ez-Bri-Z
  
  4 mo
  I suppose that is gonna determine how you are about to define murder.
  
  If you are referring to capital punishment: then yes, civil rights are more important.
  
  If you are going to try and make a case for abortion being murder: then again, yes, civil rights are more important.
  
  If you are talking about viable human beings who can exist on their own outside of a mother's womb being killed unwillingly: Then probably not.

  You'll need to clarify your response a bit more than that.
  
  I anticipated you were going to attempt the abortion route, completely ignoring the examples I gave, but if you had a different route you were going to try to make your argument I am all ears.

  Anything response but no is the wrong answer to that question how can you say that someone’s rights matter more than a persons life that’s the most selfish thing I ever heard in my life like is the world really this corrupt that people don’t even see the value of life nobody asked to be here that’s just immoral and evil to put your own wants and needs over a persons life would you murder someone for every right that you have and what about the people who died to give you those rights did they mean nothing were they just means to an end if you’re rights were that important you’d be the only person here it doesn’t bother you that what you have came at the cost of someone else’s life and what does your life mean to you if rights are more important

  Ok, hypothetical:
  
  A convicted serial killer. Murder and raped dozens of women. Now sitting on death row but has a chance to live if the Supreme Court hears arguments for the legality of execution.
  
  Christian family man fired from his job for wearing a small crucifix chain at work. Has taken his case all the way to the Supreme Court. Without a ruling several others will also be released for their religious expression.
  
  We still as worried about murder vs civil rights or are more concerned of the masses vs the lives of a few?

  Nothing is more important than someone’s right to live If we don’t respect life then life itself is truly worthless

  You can respect it just fine, but what is a life worth living if it is done in subjugation?
- TsAubreyKate

  Who has had an easy life nobody has because the fact of the matter is all men aren’t created equal people will always be under subjugation is their value defined by the quality of their life no it’s not

  Equal rights, not clones of one another. Doesn't matter if you win the race just that we all start with the same starting line.

  Even if we do some people are blind some people only have one leg to use some people mentally challenged some people don’t have a fully functioning respiratory system Some people suffer from malnutrition yet they are still expected to clear the same hurdles and they can just because it’s much harder doesn’t mean the reward won’t be the same for finishing if anything it’ll be much more a life of subjugation is worth living the strongest people have walked the roughest path

  My dude it is 2022 not the freaking 50s everyone has that right we’ve had them for a long time but some people are too sick to work does that mean they’re lives are less precious no of course not are they going to have a harder time yes absolutely but some of the happiest people on this earth work from sun up to sundown and make less than two dollars a day I really hope you’re not so superficial and materialistic that you believe a high quality lifestyle is the only life worth living

I think LGBTQ people should be treated the exact same as any other person should be treated. People shouldn’t go out of their way to make them feel more included, because why does it matter who you’re attracted to or what you identify as? If straight people or people that go by the gender their born with don’t get special treatment, then neither should LGBTQ people. Someone’s sexuality doesn’t need to become a focus point of their everyday life. People that do demand all this attention for being ‘different’ are just attention seekers.
