Straight people are not invited. The election of Donald Trump was a faglash.

Actually straight persons are welcome to support our community's goals of inclusion and non-discrimination.

You're welcome to try to argue how Trump and his supporters have helped those goals. But then you'd probably have to support non-discrimination and inclusion for the LGBT community. From the language in your previous comment, I'd be surprised if you did.

As I tell my daughter, the Countries priorities first, then the groups. Health care and taxes are paid by everyone and needed by everyone. National security and jobs are needed by everyone. It's the foundation for everything else that follows.
I guess some argue Health care doesn't belong in that group but certainly access does.

Well then why would Trump try to ban LGBT persons from most jobs in many professions and why would the GOP try to bar LGBT persons from receiving health care in Mississippi

Intersex and asexual.

11% is the correct number.

Do you have any more info on this gay Auschwitz with its gas chambers and piles of human bones? Asking for a friend who doesn't believe pointless hyperbole is helpful.

Google "Chechnya Gay Camps" and you'll get a full rundown. Let me know if you want any help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_concen...n_Chechnya

Tom is right there are gay concentration camps In the Muslim province of Russia. This is consistent with Islam's treatment of homosexuality worldwide.

Rather than criticize the USA so much, perhaps gays should reflect on the great many freedoms and protections they enjoy in this country compared to the rest of the world. Even in the developed first world, gays cannot marry in every country.

1) Refused to publicly condemn or even criticize (much less punish) Russia, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, and Egypt as they murder and jail LGBT persons for the crime of existing. Concentration camps for Gay persons? No problem, according to Trump and his SecState.

2) Supported a license to discriminate against every LGBT person, including support for the denial of health care access for LGBT persons.

3) Appointment of advocates of jailing Gay persons in the USA to prominent positions including the AG, and Federal Judges.

4) Trying to throw all Transpersons out of the military without consultation with their military leaders. Our first responders and military are to be venerated by Trumpers, so long as they're white, cisgendered, straight, etc. The rationale Trump used was that it was too expensive, but of course the military has spent millions more training those soldiers and the medical costs are less than Trump has spent on his golf trips or that the military has spent on viagara since he took office.

5) Blocked visas for persons fleeing literal death camps

6) Removed a Gay flag from the Natl Park Service's Stonewall monument (how friggin' petty can you be?). Meanwhile Confederate flags fly on Federal Property.

7) Voted in opposition to the death penalty for being Gay. No alternative resolution was proposed condemning and punishing nations that criminalize being Gay

8) On Friday, Trump will speak at (and implicitly endorse) a vicious hate group at a meeting in DC.

-----

Now on the not so genocidal/awful side.....Trump did appoint two rich Gay men to meaningless positions (neither have been confirmed and neither will be able to do anything pro-Gay in those positions). And he didn't remove existing non-discrimination protections for Federal workers (which is pointless since he's refusing to appoint any real amount of LGBT persons to anything). Meanwhile, anti-Gay homophobes are being appointed left and right to positions specifically for the purpose of harming LGBT persons.


---

Trump is a vicious hater of LGBT persons who runs an administration seeking to harm the LGBT community.

----

If there's a rational for anyone who doesn't hate the LGBT community to support Trump, I can't find it.

Huh. I thought you'd be in one of those FEMA internment camps by now.

I saw bigfoot here....

The beauty of President Trump IMO, is that he forces people to put their money where their mouth is. President Trump will allow a hater to be a hater on the biggest stage possible. You just have to be patient. It's tough I know.

And yes, if you spend beaucoup dollars shutting down a website because they outed you, you aren't proud to be Gay. So he rejects the LGBT community. He appears to hate the LGBT community so much that he spent a lot of time and money retaliating against the people who called him a member of the LGBT community.

He appears to be concerned only with himself and his personal money.

And didn't he just take out citizenship in another country?

So you define the Gay community as only progressive Democrats who have sex with the same sex? Do you have clothing restrictions? Haircut restrictions? Are they allowed to live outside the Beltway, Loop, Perimeter, etc.?

Look if you're so offended as being labelled part of the LGBT community that you spend tons of money ruining the entity that called you a member of the LGBT community....then you're not a part of the community. You would be rejecting that identity. And Thiel has.

If you don't identify as a member of the community, you don't participate in any community activities, don't support any groups from the community, etc. Then you're not really a member of the community

Milo can be argued to be more of a member of the LGBT community than Peter Thiel. At least he doesn't sue people or fund other people's lawsuits against other people because they called him a member of the community. Milo is a creep btw, who runs around as a caricature of the LGBT community for the benefit of those that want to harm us, but he's still more Gay than Peter Thiel.

Richard Grinnell is a man with whom I strongly disagree with and have zero respect for, but he is a full fledged member of the community.

It's the little things, right?

What's sad though is that to this day there are posters on this board who openly advocate for the removal of some of the things you've listed above from LGBT persons.

Yes, unfortunately. But the reality is those are not real concerns for today's American LGBTQ community.

Actually, those Obama era gains are under attack by the Trump administration. The opposition of the LGBT community to Trump is also very much POLICY based.

No, its just TDS, just like any other progressive Democrats.

I admit to knowing little of this demographic or it's inclusion into the community. Have never met someone who self identified this way.

Quote:Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality.
