    No, you aren't.

    Just as the same as a man liking men, or a woman liking women, or anyone liking another regardless
    of their gender, biological sex, ect, or just soneone who isnt interested. We are all equal, we are all unique, no one is "bad" for liking someone or something.

    Both sides are wrong:
    To the people that mock this kind of stuff in this thread, you are not helping your case. There is a time and place for that. This is not one of them.
    But to the other side:

    The point of LGBT+ is to abbreviate something, the plus adds every other <insert correct PC term here>. Adding more letters is redundant, and makes it more of a mouth full.

    Discrimination? Please stop. Ignorance, discrimination, and being lazy are different things. Discrimination means actions are being imposed on because of something you can not control (ie religious freedom act). Insensitive remarks is NOT discrimination, in fact by using it you water down the word to where it means nothing.

    Do people say rude stuff because they are ignorant to your sexuality, yes. But people say rude stuff all the time.

    --
    Also given that there are countries that ban homosexuality, and states in the US that want to make it so discrimination against LGBT+ people legal, and a general problem with homophobia/transphobia, the biggest issue is an acronym?

    You seem to be passionate for this, and thats good. But maybe consider using this passion for something that will have a better impact.

    I think it's a rhetorical question highlighting how some people in the LGBT community think that heterosexuals are evil.

    I'd suggest calling it NSS (Non-Straight Sexuality), as it is short and includes all of the terms.

    I guess, although it's a shame that's a picture painted. No one should be considered evil based on an interest, and the fact that people think that way makes me feel like I'm surrounded by sub-normal half-wits.

    Alright, I really don't care if all of you hate me at this point, so I don't care.
    I do not really care for the LGBT+ community.

    You heard me correctly, but there is a reason why.
    I do not care for ones sexual peferance at all, I would still be said persons friend.
    The deciding factor is not ones sexuality, but rather someone's intelligence. Stupid is always stupid, no matter sexuality, religion, political views, or anything else.
    I do not judge anyone who does happen to have a different sexuality, but I could never understand it.
    It is not my place to judge at all even.

    Moving on, I really do not care for it because I do think that people are throwing around like a hot potato, so much so that it is a political discussion. A sexuality should not make you anything lower, or higher in terms of living your life. I merely think that it is taken out of context.
    I.E, I believe LGBT+ people should have the same rights as we do, but I think special treatment should not be given just because your sexuality is different. We are all equal to one another, no exceptions.
    Therefore I am neutral.

    Who cares? It's just a title. People are complaining just to be a nuisance now. People get oversensitive or triggered over the dumbest things. I mean do you really have to specify every single identification just so that one guy is happy?
    This is today's society in a nutshell;

    LolNope. If I had one, it'd most likely be "SmolSkel"
    No, you are a very good person. It's when you begin discriminating against people who aren't the same as you that you begin to be a bad person.

    My major point here is that yes, there minorities are getting noticed, some getting "special treatment" as stated by someone previously. I, a single person, could not change the LGBT title. What I want to say is that LGBT, trying to make things fair, is unfair.

    Also, another thing being argued is that Bi, pan, and poly are virtually the same thing, which they are very similar.

    Just know that I see what you guys, and you are all making a valid point.
    1) LGBT will never be changed until no one uses it.
    2) Its illogical to argue; the + is there for a reason.
    3) Some of my points are not the best

    Also, to any of you who received a like on your post, feel special. I am only liking one's that are on point, clear, and supporting of a side.

    Wow. That's actually a good idea.

    Gorl literally...there are anti gay groups like the westboro baptist church that hold up signs that say that gays deserve death and that they're going to hell so like ...... Honestly are you actually confused as to why people may think that the straights™ are evil? I don't think you guys would appreciate it very much if some people put on a sign that straights are going to hell and protested that your sexuality is why you should die.

    So it's okay to say straights are evil. But call a Muslim a terrorist and you are stereotyping. Once again these double standards.

    I left, but I needed to respond to this. What's the problem with the LGBT? Lesbian Gay Bi Sexual Transgender is fine. It doesn't matter who they are. If you have a problem, you should be ashamed.

    I didn't say they were evil I said I could understand why people would think that though. There's a difference.
    I know #notallstraights yadda yadda
    But like seriously gay people used to be killed by straight people for so many years because of being gay and JUST recently we were allowed to get married legally. A luxury straight people have always been able to have. Literally no one is demonizing straight people why you gotta make everything about yourselves :/
    I'm not even gonna continue this convo bc idcc

    Right but I'm just saying that if I defend someone for stereotyping Muslims as terrorist this same, LGBT community will shit a brick and freak out on me. But when a gay stereotypes a straight person by saying they are evil it is fine to defend them. It's just contradicting and bias that's all. And what do you mean no one is demonizing straight people? You just explained why some people find them evil.
