Is it necessary to advertise "LGBTQ+ friendly"

[ForbiddenMonk]

calling lgbtphobia "different views" really just drives home the fact you are one of them. I urge you to try and be a better person.

Your reply drives home the view that you’re as bigoted as they come. An eye for an eye will leave the world blind...thinking your view is righteous and those that oppose it are evil is about as bad as it get.

I am just going to say this. Why let anything someone else is advertising upset you THIS much? :/ Maybe learn to live and let live?

I’m making a joke about snowflakes. It’s not bothering me if I’m laughing about it.

Ok cool, learn and let live. Why did you feel the need to tell me this then? Pretty much the same as why I commented on a public post

This is our life now.

The life of a snowflake

The fact you think you have any morality to stand on here is hysterical. Go away lgbtphobe.

In a perfect world yes it would be redundant.

But this is not a perfect world.

Quoting for truth.

I'm one of them LGBTs. In my extensive history of being Online I have come to avoid "LGBT" advertised groups like the plague. In 14 specifically, Gayorzea still clings to the back of my mind. Wretched place.

Although he's coming off blunt and ham fisted, as well as irreverent, I don't think it's fair to call him an Ist/phobe. After going back and looking at their statements, he has not actively condemned LGBTQ people, but rather, a type of notable oversensitivity that seems to surround the group.

And there IS an oversensitivity in that group. That's one of the smaller reasons I don't associate with the LGBTQIAA+ movement, despite being someone that fits into that alphabet.

making jokes out of misgendering trans people and calling them snowflakes for not wanting to be harassed is literally LGBTphobic.

Lol where’s the proof that I’m a lgbtphoob? I have not said one negative thing about the lgbt community.on the other hand, you admitted that you’re an intolerant person. You are a bigot.

Every time I see someone advertising LGBTQ+ friendly I get the same knee jerk reaction I do everytime I see the all totally women discord/FC/exclusive event or the come hang out with my ooo wooo cat girl on stream adverts. Some might be completely fine, and friendly legitimately. I would honestly love the idea of a recreation of gay day at six flags great adventure when I was in high school. It was so amazing finding a bunch of people who were just super cheerful to be around, and open about their sexuality. They even had super cool rainbow themed glowy rave cups you could buy for cheap. It was the best time I think I ever had at any event. Given I do not go to many events recently, so who knows how everything is now. This was over ten years ago so I would imagine things might have changed.

I digress, bringing this up, I know for a fact that these FC 9 time out of 10 are most likely similar to every other FC without the label. I like that it is there if someone may wish to be open about their sexuality and preferences, but many are not usually....I guess the best word is chill/laid back vibe. It is great for people who wish for a place with like minded individuals, but now a days groups will be a bit terrifying. Anything you do could be offensive even if you yourself as a specific sexual preference do not find these things offensive. It is like stepping on egg shells. I am thinking I just do not have the social graces to interact and remember every single small thing that could send someone into a spiral. I wish to just relax with people I am comfortable around, and say a dry humored joke about the salty sea man being one of my favorite pubs and not be considered intolerant to plights of every individual within an FC. "What if Johnny is very upset about the thought of a sea captain, he has a trigger warning specifically for sea fairing vessels after all and you mention sea men and they remind him of a captain and the sea and ships. Oh god and fish! This has made Johnny very upset and you should be ashamed for bringing about this traumatic event back into his mind. You monster!" After seeing things like this, I would much rather be alone with a small group of close friends who understand my dumb jokes and not misconstrue them as some random low handed insult that had nothing to do with what I was even talking about.

Edit: Yes some of this thread is really reminding me why I stay far away from most FC's in general.
