Jesus fucking christ
If you're in the US and you can get a gun, get one right fucking now
because - more guns
Either everyone should have guns or no one. At least if everyone has one at home, these schizos might think twice. Just keeping a shotgun over the mantel place would be enough.
Id advise for protective gear not offensive.
How the fuck did we get to a place where you need either of these things to hang a goddamn flag outside your building with your freedom of speech opinion on it? This is insane.
This is a rhetorical question, @queermunist nailed it on the head.
I mean it's the same on both sides. People don't respect people's right to not want queer shit shoved in their faces all the time and assholes attack LGBTQ people just for trying to pursue their own best life. Creates tension and ignorance on both sides.
Where is this happening? Or do you see a same sex couple holding hands and feel assaulted?
Queer people existing is not shoving anything in your face. They deserve to not have to hide in the closet.
Something that's not happening. But yet we have Christians all over this country shoving their religion down everyone else's throats. That creates tension.
I think shoving anything down people's throat is disrespectful
Well one is happening more across the country. Like currently there's one jackass in the senate who's blocking nominations to head the armed forces because said jackass wants to force his religous views on everyone in the military. Or removing bodily autonomy because your religion says its wrong. Or allowing camps to "convert" lgbtq+ youths to being straight.
Someone flying a flag or a parade seems very minor compared to that.
You’re right and it’s about time we did something about all this “straight” shit being shoved down my throat.
On TV I see men and women kissing.
On music I hear men and women talking about sex
On the street I see couples holding hands.
I never asked to see all this! Won’t someone stop these people from shoving their lifestyle choices down my throat!
What’s your definition of “shoving [ideology] down people’s throats” tho? Because if you think having a rainbow flag flying outside one’s business is that, then you are too far for me to discuss with. Have you SEEN Christmas? I couldn’t escape Christian ideology if I buried myself for a month before Dec. 25th. I see 1 pride flag every other day, unless I go to a big city but, and if people don’t like that, they can just move 20mi away.
Edit: I was just thinking, Pride Month can’t even compete with Christmas in terms of length of real person “inundation time”, and we don’t have “temples for our gods” taking up space everywhere either, we have fucking flags and Skittles
Without prior consent of course.
Queer people existing in public is not shoving anything down your throat, unless you don't believe they have the right to exist
What do you think "queer shit shoved in their faces" looks like? Have you looked at modern marketing and how most of it assumes you're a heterosexual looking for/keeping a partner?
Shut the fuck up clown. Go back to reddit you shit troll.
Wars are won not by ever fighting back but taking all the hits your enemy can dish out until they run out of ammo and go home.
Body armour won’t save you here.
