    Imagine being on a planet that’s getting hotter and hotter day by day just to make some billionaires have some extra 0s in their bank account, and you get goaded into attacking a marginalised minority by the same billionaires who are killing the planet.

      Imagine your entire worldview being controlled by unelected billionaires influencing your government and media.

    I was at a pride event last month, and there were two guys spewing religious nonsense over a loudspeaker close enough that you could hear it from the event.

    A few of the event supporters were there holding signs and blocking out the scripture duo’s hate speech using their own loudspeaker.

    At one point, the good guy started asking the religious nut job about why they aren’t protesting against priests raping kids.

    He kept asking that question until the Jesus freak, clearly irritated, yelled, “because it doesn’t matter!”

    That’s all you have to know about these people.

      Man if we could target 10% of the hate priests get for that towards teachers doing the same thing we might actually be able to protect most children from abuse.

    I have an idea that could help these protesters. Surprising they never thought of this before, but they could always MIND THEIR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS AND STOP TRYING TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHAT TO DO!

        The protesters. Why would the people at the pride celebration need to mind their own business? They’re not hurting anyone.

          I meant that both sides tend to not “mind their own business and stopp trying to tell other people what to do” Just yelling here doesnt help anybody. it’s the same as when the neigbors dogs bark the whole day and you finaly phased them out and somebody mourns “can those damn dogs shut the up!” and you just hear them again. those posts as the one we’re posting on are just giving them fuel. and the same goes for the Trend LGBTQs. I’m not saying everyone is trans or whatever for the attention but there are definitly some who are and those are just as anoying as the anti lgbtq guys. who the fuck cares?

            One side wants to live and love who they want while the other side wants these people to stop existing.

            Go away with that shit.

              Like i said. I’m not talking about the ones who just want to live and love who they want and and make no hail out of it. I’m talking about the ones who can’t not push it down you throat how awesome it is to be trans lgbtq and so on. those are just as anoying as the dudes in the title post for me. So calm down and no drama dude.

                I’ve never ever seen this and I’ve only heard it from people doing this “both sides” argument. Where are you seeing this?

                  From what I’ve seen, when they say “pushing it down your throat” what they really mean is “existing while gay”. If it isn’t hidden, it’s apparently being “pushed down your throat”.

                  Also, in the real world, people saying how “awesome it is to be trans lgbtq” are saying how awesome it is to be yourself as someone who is lgbtq. They aren’t saying it’s awesome compared to not being lgbtq (though one could argue there is value in having different-than-the-majority life experiences). It’s just another way to imply that lgbtq people are actively trying to “convert” people to being lgbtq.

                These guys/gals ( or whatever) have their pride party. What do you think they are celebrating? The right to fuck each other in the ass? Of course not. They are celebrating the right to live while not being persecuted, beaten up or burned. They are finally celebrating freedom after centuries of persecution. It is not awesome to be LGBT. It is however awesome to not being afraid of getting beaten up in a dark alley at night.

                And who might that be? The people forcing their queer-ness on you, I mean. It’s somehow always told but never experienced. I wonder why that is. Could it be bigotry? From insecure and hateful little people like you? Couldn’t you just find something that makes you happy without hurting other people? Don’t answer that, it’s clearly not what you want. Being miserable but hateful is perfect. I’d rather be dumb as a rock than being like you.

            who the fuck cares?

            Clearly YOU care enough to write a wall of text about how the people celebrating pride are just as bad as the ones protesting it. If you didn’t care, you would stay out of this thread. If you cared for the RIGHT reasons, you’d be decrying the actions of the protesters. Instead you spin this “both sides” nonsense. What you’re doing is transparent and hateful.

    Anti-LGBT protesters

    Is that the “politically correct” term for fascists these days?

      Yeah, it’s not as if leaving religion completely in the hands of right-wingers has led to rather bad outcomes for the left, now has it?
