Honest to god can y’all imagine what it would be like to explain lgbt now to people who fought to gain the rights to live as lgbt 20+ years ago?
‘Yeah people don’t want gay men to be in the community cause they’re men’
‘People in the community think that ALL lesbians are violent transphobic monsters’
‘Some People who don’t experience sexual attraction want themselves to be more public than lesbians because they think lesbians should just fit under ‘gay’’
‘Some people don’t want bisexual people in the community because a some people think they’re traitors for liking guys, while others want them to choose a side’
‘There are people pretending to be transgender and people don’t want trans to be in lgbt cause some people think that EVERY trans person is faking it for one reason or another’
‘People are using slurs to talk about the entire community and the slur literally means ‘weird’ and so we don’t know how to stop them’
‘Actual pedophiles are wanting to be included into the lgbt community as it’s own sexuality’
‘Some, yet few, people want there to be a BDSM sexuality’
‘Lesbians are using he/him pronouns-not because they’re in any danger of getting beat up-so that they HAVE to use he/him pronouns,,,they are just….doing it and it’s pissing mostly everyone else off cause people are saying they’re invalidating trans guys’
‘People actually are thinking that gender is a feeling and you can pick your sexuality’
‘People are coming up with new names for terms that mean the same thing and are getting angry when people are saying they’re the same thing’
‘Cisgender heteromantic people want to be part of lgbt’
Hdksk can you fucking imagine
