that’s what we were talking about though.
The comment you responded to was:
“toxic liberals are trying to push the narrative that if you won’t have sex with a man, youre homophobic.”
who did you think I was referring to when I said that?
this is like trying to walk a 3 year old through the conversation
Ya don't think some bi men or closeted gay men aren't homophobic?
I'm not talking about you, obviously. Just a theoretical point.
@Almost40Imagine instead of dating it was a business owner weeding out and filtering through applicants. What would you say about that?
@ArkNebradia Could it be that the members of the lgbtq community who hate being members of the lgbtq community because they would much prefer to be heterosexual are the ones who make up that people say those things in general? Then tie it to the lgbtq community as a whole in attempt to discredit the lgbtq community?
Just sayin.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Preference can have many roots, sometimes racism.
@Almost40 Yeah...
[ a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race ]
[ The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. ]
[ a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. ]
It isn't two worlds apart. If someone were to illogically say...black men have bigger dicks that's why i only date black men. It's attached directly to racism. If someone were to illogically say they only date latino men because their dancing ability makes them better in bed, then it's tied directly to racism.
And if someone were to say...
(I put it in my profile because on Grindr, I’m looking for a quick hookup. Putting that on there will help filter out what I find attractive most often, and find a match more quickly. Could I be missing out on a few people I would otherwise find attractive? Of course! But without it, I would have to weed through sooooo many more profiles, and it would take longer to find a match.)
...meaning they are literally filtering out people of color and..weeding though people of color. Then yeah it's directly a pat of racism. Why? Because people don't filter or weed others out because they like them. They do so because they don't. For whatever illogical reason.

That person doesn’t seem particularly hellbent on discrediting the LGBT community.
that person DOES seem hellbent on pushing their leftist agenda that I don’t agree with. And they pretty much flat out say if you wouldn’t date a trans person, you are transphobic.
fortunately, given the comments they’ve received from this video in the past, it appears most of the world doesn’t agree. The uploaders goal was to push their agenda and make people more “woke” about the situation. All that video did was push people who support the LGBT community, but aren’t necessarily a part of it, further away from their cause. It turns potential allies into enemies.
to be honest, you kind of do the same with your rhetoric. We’re obviously both in agreement that racism is a terrible thing. But you seem more occupied with grouping me in with KKK members, and nazis, and white nationalists than you do with actually combatting that racism. You’ve taken someone who actually agrees with your root cause (just not a few secondary points) and removed them from joining your cause altogether.
”villianizing” their own allies is a major stereotype the left has adopted recently, and I think it’s hurt them. People on the right who mostly agree with them have been turned away because it almost feels like “if you don’t believe 100% of what I say, I’d rather have you as an enemy than an ally.”
that’s just my opinion though. I’m sure other right-leaning people feel the same. I don’t want to speak for anyone else, but if they feel that way as well, they can say so themselves.
@Llbaker (Handicap does not mean predictable, permanent or constant.)
It most certainly does. In the context in which you used it it does. You specifically used it in the same terms as golf. Meaning one single solitary game. The only way that can be compared to life is if we do the same. That game being a person's entire life.
Meaning the handicap (regarding black people) exists their entire life. Meaning the handicap (regarding men with small or smaller) exists their entire life.
@Almost40 Ah but it isn't. We aren't talking tribes. Every last human being on the face of this planet comes from the same "tribe". We're all connected that way through evolution.
It might have been a flub on your part or it might have been something else but there's a market difference between tribalism and racism. They are not the same things. Sure, they can be similar. But to say or imply that tribalism and racism are the same thing would either be ignorant, malicious or both.
[ The organization, culture, or beliefs of a tribe. ]
[ The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. ]
One doesn't care about the race of person in general and other specifically does. I would also add that conflating the two actually helps racists. Since it muddys the waters to the point where racists can hide behind tribalism.
And no. In a thread like this. Words matter. No speaking words matters. If we were talking about the ending of game of thrones or who won/lost what on the latest singing competition show i would agree with you. Not here. Not in this thread.
So. Again.
Imagine instead of dating it was a business owner weeding out and filtering through applicants. What would you say about that?
Here. I'll attempt to make the question more relatable.
Imagine instead of dating and race. It was a owner of a business and they were weeding out and filtering through applicants based on sexuality/gender/religion? What would you say about that?
@Llbaker (You would have to list every possible activity in life and show how a handicap affect performance relative to others.)
I think you're beginning to get my point.
If we're going to talk about serious issues. Issues in which people live or die. Kill and be killed. Don't you think it would be a good idea to be serious with the language used?
