@crandc using it as a reference).
It's funny when someone blindly supports someone who promotes division, support passive (and not so passive) aggressive ways to criminalize being gay/ gay marriage, says they're "dealing" with a "transgender issue" etc., gets called out for it, they're like "why are people attacking poor widdo innocent me? I support gays/etc!"
Well, here's an interesting thing. I support LGBTQ rights. I support gay rights, gay marriage, etc. I have 3 cousins who are lesbians, and never once have I been so god damn arrogant and oblivious to think that it is ME who is 'dealing with transgender issues'. I love my cousins no matter who they sleep with (in fact, I don't want to know anything about who any of my cousins/relatives sleep with, but that's a different point).
I'm not dealing with an "issue" that one of my cousins (and her wife) had a child a few years ago, and are raising him. The idea that there are people in the country that are so afraid and insecure about themselves that they thought they should do something about gay couples adopting, or getting married, or the thought crossed their minds that they should be concerned about the T and Q part of LGBTQ, is just mind numbing.
Like literally, dealing with the people who think this way is mind numbing. Fuck each and every one of them for being such huge fucking hypocrites (if you dare judge them based on their sexual preference or how they identify, they'd go apoplectic).
Why can't we just live in a world where people are fine with people who are gay, straight, bi, transgender or whatever. And stop making and supporting laws that are anti-lgbtq.
Either we're all equal or we're not. (and spare me the "what about someone who wants to marry children/dogs/murder" crap. Please be an adult about this)
