The world itself would be better if LGBTQ+ never existed.
Now, I do not and never will mean that as a homophobic statement. Listen to me here. I’m not trying to be attacked because of this opinion, I am trying to point out a view that may actually be true. Though you can disagree.
LGBT+ is a community of people that have different sexualities/gender identities than what is “normal.” Rather than being cisgender or heterosexual, they identify as, for example, nonbinary, or gay, or bisexual, or whatever else. I myself identify as something other than hetero. Being LGBTQ is not a horrible thing. Yet many, many people, normally people who are very religious, hate on this community- homophobes.
People who identify of things other than hetero or cis are attacked by these homophobic people, and questions being exchanged back and forth are and always have been really confusing. And it can be to both sides. Such as, “If trans people are able to identify as the opposite gender, then can I identify as a black lesbian?” This is coming from a white man. Of course, the answer is no. But no one can really explain why.
My point is that really we do not need to give people, US, who are LGBTQIA+++ their own category. “You can’t label love.” What are the sexualities then??
I get that everyone STRUGGLES, but nowadays, it is much more accepted. I still struggle sometimes. But we aren’t being attacked to the point of death. There is always a light.
The fact that everyone gets their own FLAG is what makes people angry. And that there is a whole month dedicated to these people.
We have fought for our lives to be here. But we are here. Do we really need an entire month?
If we can get rid of the label LGBTQ itself, the world would be a better place. Homophobic people would have less of a cow trying to fight about something that isn’t there. We will still be here. We will still be normal humans. We will still be loved. But do we really need a category when everyone else, even allies, are left out?
I’m mostly saying this because it’ll be easier to shaddup homophobic people.
Tell me, do you agree? I do feel like I may have sounded homophobic myself here. I have a point, although I may have not quite made it clear. LGBTQ makes us stand out. What if we were to blend in? Considered human without having to be LGBTQIA+++? Be held under a label people can’t relate to?
Am I in the wrong here?
Edit: I have a better way to explain this,
I am ashamed to be LGBTQ+. It’s not the homophobes.
It’s the fact that my community has gained acceptance, and now they flaunt it.
It’s the fact that my community has become hypers**ualized.
Trans people pay thousands of dollars to be themselves and also not have to be asked their pronouns and for once be assumed to use those pronouns.
The people you see on tiktok telling others they are Bunny/Bunnyself (which honestly is a little goofy) are trying to stand out. Attempting to gain attention. Maybe some aren’t, but a lot are.
We fought for our right to exist, and while it’s not fully there, I can hold a girls hand and walk down the street without literally having a gun pointed at me.
I love being proud to be me. I love how everyone is accepting in this community.
What I don’t like is how this community has become something other than a community of people not heterosexual or cisgender. It’s that, but it’s… some is just… it’s downright nasty.
I probably offended people by saying this. But I am only speaking my opinion.
But if we have fought and still in some ways are fighting for freedom, and we have pretty much earned it, why are we trying SO HARD to stand out from the crowd?
