I Believe Lgbt People Have The Same Rights As Straight People

They have been oppressed for so long that they should have more rights but bigots and repukes will prevent that

I'm gay and I feel like I'm not oppressed at the moment.
@Fangirlsarah1996: Then you are lucky and I am happy for you

@FemPowered: I don't think it has anything to do with luck somehow 🤔
@Fangirlsarah1996: It does sadly. There are plenty of LGBT people who feel targetted now

@FemPowered: "feeling" bad doesn't mean they're oppressed...being oppressed means they aren't allowed to express themselves with in both Europe and America they are.

Unless you're feeling sorry for the LGBT communities in counties like those within The Middle East or Russia, then I can understand your point as homosexuality is literally illegal in those parts of the world.
@Fangirlsarah1996: Of course I feel for all LGBT in all countries. But think about it. This is where they are suppose to be free and their bastion. And even here we are going backwards because of right wing bigots. That isnt progress.

@FemPowered: In most colleges in America I've seen a lot of safe spaces for people like that...plus places of education seem to be very liberal in their mindset so I doubt the youth over there will have a problem.

And no matter who the president is that's something they cannot do, it goes against human rights and so far the only time he's tried going against those (The Muslim Ban) it got denied...so he cannot do anything drastic that's against the countries best interests no matter how much you believe the US will suddenly turn into Nazi Germany within the next 4 years.
@Fangirlsarah1996: But they do do it all the time. The number of assaults is staggering. LGBT people are refused jobs. And even the fake president attacks them on live television. This is truly scary stuff.

If you dont feel threatened then i am really happy for you but dont diminish others fear just because you dont feel it. Trust me they do feel it
