Do you support the rights of those in the LGBTQ+ community?

Question

PrettyPriya · Accepted Answer

Well, you already know my stance, so this isn't so much answer your question since you know the answer but making my voice heard. Yes, I absolutely support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community of which I am not even a part of.

I respect the decision for those people that want to be with the person they truly love, be it any gender. It in no way has a bearing on my life or any personal choices I make, so why not be happy for them?

It is not different than me being tolerant to other races, religions, etc. I worry about myself and not what others are doing. I know gay people. I know (not personally) one trans person. They have all been wonderful friends and very caring. And you know what?

Not a single one of those people I speak of (including you) has ever been any different than that nor has ever pushed any of your beliefs or choices on me. Sure, we talk about it because I am open to doing so. Not a single person though has ever pressured me.

So, I fully support the community and the right to be happy with the person you want to be happy with. That will not change... ever.

Yes, I absolutely do support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community! What shocks me is just how many people do not support even their basic human rights! As of 7/20/22 @ 5:17pm est. The poll is disgustingly at 42% against human rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans human beings! I have never been more disgusted by some of the people of GaG than I am right now. (Also, I'm not at all surprised that it appears to be majority men who are homophobic… and frankly (but ironically) it likely IS all male! Everyone who voted “NO” should be ashamed of themselves!

Love, is love, is love, and if you are against same-sex relationships, then it’s simple, just don’t have one! But being against basic human rights because of how someone was born, or who they love is the absolute WORST kind of small minded bigotry!

Greergr · Answer

As a part of it, of course, I support it. We are just people. I don't want to intervene in others' lives and want to live a regular one, which is happening. I'm glad that I could get married to a man or woman. I'm happy I can work without worrying about being judged. I don't want those things to be taken away from anyone that is a part of the LGBTQ+ community. That's all I ask. I see it is a problem for some people because of their religion. You can disagree with the way we live our lives. Many atheists disagree with religion as a thing. An atheist mustn't try to take away faith or disrespect people who subscribe to it. Same with a religious person trying to do the same to someone else because they don't follow their personal beliefs.

NathanDavis · Answer

more than support... yes

we're talking about my ex-girlfriend, my friends, my relatives, neighbours, acquaintances, associates, family

support is the least I could have for the people in my life that I love and hold dearly, so... it is about much more than that

BCRanger10 · Answer

In the sense that I believe that, in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church (and just plain common decency) , they should be free from unjust discrimination and that they "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity" (CCC 2358) and that they should not be subject to vile and hateful insults, bullying, and so forth, as stated in a 1986 letter by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger/later-Pope Benedict XVI, yes.

But in the sense of do I support same-sex marriage, believe that LGBT should be taught in schools, or celebrate Pride Month? No.

Bluemax · Answer

Yes. This does not mean I support every single thing the LGBTQ community says. One of my chief objections is how many, but by no means all, members of the LGBTQ community characterize people who don't agree with them.

Dargil · Answer

I support this.
Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. . No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Any other "rights" contrived by the LGBTQ+ community don't exist.

_deeznuts · Answer

Yeah lol. Love is love, regardless of the gender from both sides of the relationship. It's revolting how 36% of the poll doesn't support LGBTQ+. It's a basic human right to chose who you love, and taking that away is absolutely disgusting.

Spotifyplaylist · Answer

Absolutely, just because you are apart of the LGBTQ+ community doesn't change the fact you are valid and a person with rights.

Anonymous · Answer

As someone who’s gay, I honestly think there’s a strong degree of toxicity within the LGBT community as well. Members of the community hate on other LGBT members, such as pan and bi people hating on one another because they go by different labels or lesbians/gays hating on bi people for being more likely to be unfaithful. For a community about love, inclusivity, and acceptance, we seem to lack common courtesy and any respect for those who aren’t in our community or even those who are. The idea of having a label and having to sort yourself under a category can be very toxic as well, in addition to the points you mentioned about a lack of respect and courtesy for other groups (especially religion.)

Summeroflove · Answer

Depends what you’re talking about LGBT people who want to live their lives and be left alone. Sure.

But the problem is. Things have gone through you live your life I will live mine. Even if I disagree with the way you live. If it isn’t negatively affecting me. Why should I care?

This has turned into you must accept it or even live this way and you’re not allowed to even disagree with it personally. That’s where I draw the line

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Of course i support equal rights for all. But most people don’t really understand what that means. Too many people confuse privileges for rights. If it’s not guaranteed by the US Constitution, it’s not a right. That said, i’m not in favor of special privileges for anyone. Equal rights and equal responsibilities. No more and no less. As a society, we have failed ourselves and each other in this regard too often for too long.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Yeah, I'm totally cool with homosexuals and bisexual people and I support their rights and have no problem being friends with anyone who's any of the above.

As for trans people, I think you are what you are from a biological POV, but if they're honest and open about it, then it's fine.

As long as someone is a nice person and treats people nicely and fairly, then I don't care if they're gay or not.

XXblack88 · Answer

Depends on what your referring to as rights. By rights you mean I have to call someone by the pronouns of their choice then no am not for rights for LGBT+ community. If you mean rights like they can go to the same establishments that I go to then yeah am for rights for LGBT+ community.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

I support everyones right to live how they want to live. I might not agree with whatever it is they believe but that doesn’t mean I hate or fear a specific group. Just don’t push your ideals or religion on me.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

That's kind of like supporting someone's RIGHT to have cerebral palsy, someone's RIGHT to be white, or their RIGHT to be a woman.
I have no problem with people being gay or trans. They were simply born that way.
I DON'T support the supposed "right" of the LGBTQ crowd FORCING others to accept them as they are by being militant about it and shoving it down everyone's throat!!

Agape93 · Answer

LGBT rights are human rights. Fuck yeah I support it.

Rangers · Answer

No, all the left has done for the past 250 years is attack every civil and constitutional right we have enshrined in our constitution.

We're sick of being the bigger person and standing to defend, now we're going to start attacking your constitutional rights that aren't protected by the constitution but we've allowed to go forward for the sake of being nice
