    I get what you’re saying, but I think your definition of right to exist is a bit fallacious there. Like you don’t say that certain places are taking away gay people’s right to exist, or that capitalism is charging money for the right to exist… okay, maybe some people are saying that last one.

    Don’t mind me, I’m just not a fan of garnering support via anger-inducing hyperbole because I think there are much healthier ways.

    EDIT: Yep, being downvoted, that checks out. I just hope someone would reconsider their approach a bit.

      You’re being downvoted because you’re saying “gay people will still be allowed to exist, they just won’t be allowed to be gay”.

      You’re following that up by telling gay people to stop being hyperbolic about the hate and discrimination they are facing because it’s “unhealthy”…!?

      Meanwhile, assholes like you are banning books that might suggest white people did awful shit to black people, because god forbid we teach white kids their honest history and they might feel a little bad.

      You’re either an ignorant douchbag or a hateful douch-canoe. In either case, that dog don’t hunt.

      EDIT: Reconsider YOUR approach.

        Man, everyone just assumes I’m a Republican or something because I scrutinize an LGBT talking point. Which makes sense in this ultra-politicized online world, but still.

        I’m not arguing for taking away anyone’s rights. I’m not saying it’s a good thing that certain places ban gay marriage, I’m just pointing out that “right to exist” isn’t a talking point for those scenarios because it’s not accurate. And they’re still able to garner support just fine.

        Do you find that everyone who disagrees with you on serious matters is either ignorant or evil? Asking rhetorically.

      You’re a homophobic racist piece of shit defending shit people (Republicans) with shitty laws, and getting upset when being called out for it, that’s why you’re being downvoted.
