Title of my post: “The LGBT community has completely lost its fucking mind”
I am a gay man and I am appalled at the freakshow that the LGBT community has become. For years, the main focus was on gay and lesbian rights and marriage quality. After marriage equality passed, the focus shifted towards trans people.
Now, that in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There are a lot of trans women that are victims of violence and they do need our help and support. The problem is that this fundamental shift of the community towards gender identity opened Pandora’s Box and suddenly every attention seeking freak wanted LGBT membership.
There is sex, and there is gender. Sex is biological, and you are either male or female, unless you are intersex. Gender, on the other hand, is a social construct, such as how girls should behave and how boys should behave. Human beings are not sexually attracted to gender, they are sexually attracted to sex. This idea of these new sexual orientations, like “pansexual,” meaning that you are attracted to anyone regardless of their sex or gender identity is, ridiculous. The truth is that since there is only male and female sex, “gay,“ “lesbian,“ and “bisexual“ covers everything.
Let’s be honest. If you’re a biological male, getting a hideous perm, putting on makeup, and wearing a dress does not change your gender. And since gender is just a social construct that doesn’t really exist anyway, inventing a new one means absolutely nothing. But don’t tell that to all these edgy teens and 20 somethings, and definitely don’t tell that to the mainstream current LGBT community because you will be branded a bigot.
I myself am a liberal, and I always have been, but the current incarnation of the LGBT community has become so absurdly far left that they will except absolutely any amount of nonsense flung at them. The truth is that there are quite a few gay men and lesbians who feel this way, but they are afraid to say it out loud.
And let’s be completely honest here. “Nonbinary” as a gender label is stupid. Every human being on earth is nonbinary. No one fits perfectly into a “male” or “female” gender conforming box. There are only biological males and biological females, and within those two categories there is a broad range of mannerisms, personalities, etc.
There is a new “queer“ identity, which is basically an umbrella term for the entire LGBT community and is really just for people who want to be edgy. I’m angry because all of this nonsense with the pronouns and the 500 gender identities is incredibly obnoxious, and the fact that these people are associating themselves with the gay community means that normal people are going to start thinking that we’re all one and the same. And we’re not. For those of you straight people reading this, please understand that gay men are not the same as the pronoun genderqueer people. We are not that high maintenance.
