Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you can't outright say what part of the lgbtq offends you, and can only vaguely explain "the other stuff"
You probably know the reaction you're going to get for saying it. So stop beating around the bush.
That's not explaining at all what they're doing that's so offensive to you. What, specifically, is it that you have a problem with?
Ah so you're falsely associating homosexuals with this vague "other stuff" that you hate. I'm not seeing any logic here, just you putting all the people you don't understand under a big blanket and calling them crazy.
I get it I guess. Probably way easier to go through life if you never put in the emotional energy to understanding humans different from you. The problem with that is, you spiral into disdain&judgement for whoever you decide is crazy today, and that feeling of bitterness poisons your psyche. Just a warning.
No problem with any of it, people should be free to be whatever they want, as long as they realize they're all mental. Especially when they expect the rest of society to play pretend with them.
Ok. Sure. Let’s play it that way. Let’s assume that they’re all “mental” and “playing pretend”, simply for the sake of argument.
Please explain what possible negative impact the simple existence of non-straight people has on you. And I do mean you, specifically. Why do you care, and why do they upset you so much? How, precisely, does them existing hurt you?
This is the part where they usually scream about protecting the children, regardless of who the actual child predators are. They think if kids are perceived to be in danger, people will become emotional and more inclined to agree with their anti-lgbt+ rhetoric. Unfortunately its a tactic thats had some success.
A lot of them genuinely do think that trans people and non-binaries are pedophiles. It's because of years of propaganda.
