I can honestly say that in my 58 years on planet Earth, I’ve never encountered an unpleasant “blip” in my day due to someone from the LGTBQ community. Never. (And I’ve traveled much of the world)

Facts! Don’t understand all these “alphas “ that want to continually attack them. Fuck you want a challenge, come after some of us gun toting liberals. You do you bro, my philosophy.
Same. And I’m 70. I’ve also never had a job stolen by an undocumented person, and no one’s ever eaten one of my cats or dogs. I have however, had my camp cooler dragged across the beach, filled with sand, and all my food for two weeks ruined. By local teenagers in a Maga community.
Well I have spent a lot of time the last 4 years being unproductive at work because I was watching the newest Randy Rainbow video. So there’s that. 🏳️🌈💙🏳️🌈
They are. On purpose. To create a scapegoat and then an enemy of those who support the scapegoat. End goal is to create hatred for the other and gain power. They create trans haters who become their supporters. It’s fucked up.
It is fucked up, it's also EXACTLY what Hitler/Goebbels did to the Jews and also lesbian/gay people (and anyone they considered "illegal" or criminal). They're doing this to LGBTQ+, to POC and to immigrants. And it isn't for no reason, you can be sure of that.
This too, the similarities between Germany in the late 1930s early 40s is remarkable. Even the similarities between Hitler & 45, both were horrible students, not very smart, not remarkable in any way, no special talents - both held/hold grudges against people for perceived wrongs.
Once in Florida a gay man bought me a beer and while flirting with me explained how he had just moved to Florida to get away from all the n*ggers in New Jersey. Another time a transgender air bnb host in Colombia put me in a headlock and started biting my ear. Love my LGBTQ community… but not pure
Can you imagine how much better the world would be if every member of the GLOBAL diplomatic community were part of the LGBTQIA+ community?
Tolerance, empathy & Peace…… ☮️
Turning 50 in a couple of weeks, and I concur! Just regular people s#it. No S.A. no harassment or racist nonsense. It's almost as if they behave better than the people that hate them. Weird.
As a 65 year old gay man, who's career was in construction and new home building, I've encountered nothing but hate. I was actually told by the president of one national company that people like me don't normally work in the construction industry!
It's demeaning to assume that every LGBTQ+ person is a member of "the LGBTQ+ community." I wear eyeglasses but am not a member of any eyeglass community.
They make a big deal about it because most have never had regular contact, or any, with a trans individual because they are minorities. It’s like “the gays” before their friends, family, and neighbors came out. It’s another way to create an other. Rule through fear; be damn humanity.
Same with my 50 years.
In fact, I've had situations where they in fact treated myself, my wife and kids BETTER than our own families.
More accepting, kind, giving, generous and thoughtful.
I got 10 yrs on you and I’ve had nothing but loving encounters with the community. This is the least threatening group of people worldwide (well traveled here also). Mace is a bully and a disgrace.
I befriended a gay guy once who evolved into a nightmare. He told me some cruel things he did. His choices had to do with his brain, not sexual preferences. He would absolutely be an equally evil straight male.
You’re right, it has nothing to do with sexual preferences, I wish people would understand this. I’ve befriended some shady characters, they were some of my greatest teachers of human nature and realities. America has on blindfolds when it comes to the disastrous potential of Trump.
I’m 70 and the only time I really noticed who was in the restroom with me was when some little 7ish year old urchin was peeking under the door to my stall.

Kidding! ;)
I’m female, but not feminine.
All my adult life I’ve had women trying to throw me out of the ladies room for being a man.
And I’ve never seen an actual man in the ladies room.
