They rarely rebut arguments. They rarely produce arguments.
The problem is that they operate in packs. But to be clear, the minorities and the progressives aren't leaving here because the right wing is winning any arguments...they walk because its not a lot of fun to wade through a river of muck to communicate.
The preceding post was written by a LGBTQ bully who uses intimidation tactics and insults to get what he and his "community" wants.
Irony, thy name is LazyTom.
False equivalency. You appear to be too wrapped up in your privilege to see it though.
Not accepting second or third class citizenship isn't bullying. Its advocacy.
There's no irony here.
BTW I think there are people in here that object to the entire concept that someone who isn't straight could dare to advocate for himself. You decide what scrap of equality is good enough for us. You decide what names we call ourselves.
And if we dare engage the public in advocacy, we're bullying you. BS.
When some of you engage in persistent, directed, and targeted bullying, persisent use of the equivalent of the N-bomb to refer to Transgendered persons (despite repeated complaints), etc., that, per you guys isn't bullying. No matter that it has zero to do with the topic most of the time.
You complain (unjustly) that we want a safe place. Some of you appear to want a straight space. Or an alt right echo chamber.
On the two posts I posted...how many far right posters in here simply attacked me, baselessly, instead of talking about the issue raised. And to be clear, its not just me. This treatment happens eventually to just about every poster in here that challenges some of y'all's worldview.
