I Feel Like An Outsider in The LGBT Community
I’m bisexual, have been a lesbian like 98% of my life. I’ve had a generally pretty shitty experience with the LGBT community. Whether it’s on Facebook or the college campus in town. Everyone just seems so radicalized, overly sensitive and itching to pick a fight with someone who doesn’t agree with them. To the point where they will use any excuse to allow themselves to do so.
I don’t get it. I don’t understand why everything in this community has to always be about launching verbal attacks on anyone who doesn’t agree with you or bitch about Trump constantly. Especially online.
I feel like the LGBT community should be about supporting people’s differences but it seems like to me everyone is so bitter they take their anger out on anyone. Which I won’t lie, I’m guilty of to some extent. It’s not easy being gay in a small rural town where people aren’t afraid to tell you how disgusting they think you are.
I understand being angry at other people because you’ve put up with a lot in your life but I don’t understand the constant radical dogma “with me or against me” attitude.
