In fact, most I know don`t consider themselves part of the community as it now represents so many groups that they don`t feel they have much in common with. That said, these groups exist for a reason - abuse. If everyone could stop being obsessed by how people dress or who they share their bed with we wouldn`t need these groups. Same applies to skin colour, race, religion etc. We`re all human at the end of the day. Maybe focus on the ones who are bad humans. Reply |

I don’t know any that want to be associated with the alphabetti spaghetti movement that is the LGBTQIAS2➕ Is there homophobia? Absolutely. As there is with everything but it’s also true homophobia is at an all time low. Homosexuality doesn’t curb any of your legal rights as a person anywhere in the western world. Quite enlightening that there are gay activists trying to distance themselves from the TQIAS2➕ If you find the time, it’s worth takibg 10mins to look at the characters behind the Green/SNP policies for self ID. Plenty of “hate speech” openly spewed onto the internet. Usually directed towards women for some reason 🤷🏻♂️ COYP Reply |

24. Author: jake89 Date: Sun 22nd Dec 2024. 09:09 I think we`re saying the same thing here, NMC. The people I know understand the need for raising awareness but the issues of trans people are not the same as gay or lesbians. Similar with BAME. The A is particularly troubling - what KIND of Asian? Both BAME and LGBT are lazy groupings imo. Reply |
