Whenever I see a black person against LGBT people, I always smh

It hasn’t even been a lifetime since the civil rights movement when people of color were fighting for equality! I think Pride Month is a good time to raise awareness of this detrimental flaw that unfortunately has a strong presence in the black community.

There's no comparison between what black people went through and what LGBT people went through
@Rolexeo I agree. But your point being?
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove That the two aren't the same at all so why are you making the comparison? Black people were slaves and had less rights, LGBT people weren't
@Rolexeo So does that make it okay for black people to discriminate against LGBT people?
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove What are you defining as discrimination? People thinking it's gross/immoral or people actually mistreating you?
@Rolexeo Both are discrimination. Any form of it. So because black people have had it worse, does that make it okay for black people to discriminate against LGBT people?

@PerchingDove If you're not being treated differently than why do you care? You can't just demand that people accept everything about you
@Rolexeo I’ll ask you one more time: do you personally think it’s acceptable for African-Americans to discriminate against LGBT people considering they have had a far worse history than the LGBT community. It’s a yes or no question.

@PerchingDove So long as they're not being treated differently. Now answer my question, if you're not being treated differently then why do you care? You sound entitled to me
@Rolexeo Because I support equality for any and all people and believe homophobia is a detrimental flaw in the black community that needs to end. It doesn't matter if one minority has had it worse than the other. This isn't a game, all discrimination is wrong no matter what. If anything, their group having it worse all the more reason why it's wrong for them to have prejudice against another minority! You can't demand for your community to be accepted when you can't be accepting of another. I'm Native American and to this very day, my still have it worse than any other demographic in the country. That would be like me trying to justify being prejudiced against LGBT or other races because Native American have been through a lot worse. There's no logic to it! I'm not LGBT or black, I don't even post here speaking as a Native American. I'm just a human who wants other humans to get along. How's that for entitled?

@Rolexeo True about anti-anything-not-heterosexual isn't as bad as the whole racism thing but....have you seen the Russian video of two guys filming themselves walking down the street and holding hands? That footage - and the abuse they got whilst just walking - was just....shocking!

Nobody deserves that. That's discrimination. That's abuse.

@PerchingDove If nobody is treating you differently and nobody has rights that you don't than your concerns are petty. You're not the thought police, people are free to think and feel however they want, you just need to get over it. I never made the argument that mistreatment of LGBT people is ok. You're very entitled. If someones saying some bigoted shit than go ahead and chew them out or whatever, they still have the right to believe it.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@SammyJo Yeah, that doesn't happen here.
@Rolexeo And I never made the case that people have to like LGBT people. If that wasn't your argument and we're in agreement that discrimination in the sense of treating others badly is wrong, then what was the point of your comment?
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove

You made the case that not accepting their behaviour is
@Rolexeo But where did I say they have to like LGBT people? All I said was discrimination is wrong, that’s not me saying they can’t dislike it. I think it’s pretty what I meant by discrimination and you’re just grasping at straws.

Now are you going to answer my other question or have you finally written yourself into a corner?
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove Where did I?

When I asked what you're defining as discrimination, it being gross/immoral or mistreatment you said both.

Wtf are you talking about? I answered your question, you didn't answer mine.
@Rolexeo Oh here we go now... 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m not playing the circle game with you. You’ve been refuted anyway, I don’t need to say anymore
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove You can't answer simple questions and you contradicted yourself, stop acting like a clown and grow up
@Rolexeo Projection. Your comment is illogical and pointless and you couldn’t handle being called out on it. Don’t get mad at me, you need to think your comments through a little better.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove Projection aka "no u" you couldn't answer a simple question and proceeded to throw a temper tantrum, you're a fucking idiot
@Rolexeo Lol. I don’t even need to say it. It’s all there for others to read. 😂
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove Yes, you whining about how insecure you are because not everybody accepts you, me calling you out on it, you contradicting yourself, and then you throwing a temper tantrum 🤣
@Rolexeo Have a nice day!
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@PerchingDove You too, take it easy!
