Why I don't Like the LGBTQ Community...

ok so, before you dislike or report this video, I would like a chance to explain myself before twitter starts a crusade to eliminate my channel. This video is not a homophobic rant, this is about the flaws that are prevalent in the current landscape of the mostly online community of the LGBTQ. I have no issues with the concept of transgenderism, homosexuality and so forth.

my issues lie within the community and the vocal minority that seems to insert itself within almost every crevice of the internet and breeds toxicity and hypocrisy. Let's talk about it.

It's very annoying that in any community from fandoms to even religion there is always going to be a louder more aggressive part that gives the rest a bad reputation

[FourDozenEggs]

Everyone is worthy of criticism. Just because someone is LGBTQ doesn't automatically make them a saint that can do no wrong. If anyone thinks the opposite, they are inherently dehumanizing them because flaws are a part of humanity.

"The vocal minority create the image for any group" is a great sentence.

[JJSquirtle]

To paraphrase my gay friend to the best of my ability: "There are three types of gays. The fun ones, the quiet ones, and twitter!"

[ControllerQuickSwaps]

Pretty sure it's illegal to be this fair and balanced on the internet

I can relate to being pinned as "transphobic" because I didn't like a certain student in my class back then because they were just a piece of sh*t, (Instigator, changing herself to be liked more, etc-), not because of their gender. To assume someone hates someone for their gender or sexual identity is totally unethical.

A gay guy (whom we didn't know) slapped my male friend's rear and when he calmly and maturely told him not to do that, the guy called him homophobic and started cursing at him. People who didn't see what happened automatically took the gay guy's side and my friend was labeled as a "toxic christian" and people that knew the whole story told him that he's just insecure about his sexuality.

Everyone took the side of the person who literally sexually harassed the other and then talked shit about the victim for not enjoying it.

Edit: It's odd to see just how ignorant people are concerning this issue. You can call me a liar all you want, I don't care about your input. I care about the people that are intellegent enough to know that sexual harassment is NOTHING NEW and that, yes, gay people can do it too (Shocking, I know).

Sharing my friend's expirence is just an example of how far society has fallen (whether the individuals in said society are gay or not). Many of the replies to this comment prove my point exactly. So once again, go ahead and accuse me of lying. You're only making your case worse.

it's not about hating lgbt, it's about hating people who use it as a shield.

I’m gay asf and I’ve been called homophobic on Twitter.

I don’t have Twitter anymore. 💀

[LK-mywq]

the problem with almost any "phobia" is that people take one scenario and generalize the whole community according to it.

[adekaiwamisou]

"Being gay doesn't make you bad" that is 100% true.
The opposite is also 100% true "Being gay doesn't make you good"
Being gay just means you are gay, what you do makes you good or bad.

[zeldagorl]

As a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I find it silly that people just use this as a shield and refuse to take criticism.

[caracal]

It feels so good that somebody finally talked about this.
Like, not a rant, not some crazy thing, just somebody addressing the problems here.

Moral of the story; don’t be part of a community, be part of yourself.

[stuffynosepatrol]

"Winning" an argument is not about silencing the other person or pinning a label onto them. "Winning" an argument is when you both discuss things like adults and come to an agreeance of sorts. I hate the online idea of having to put someone else "in their place" to feel better about yourself, this is a part of every community online apparently.

[sott]

bro had the balls to say what everybody was thinking but was afraid to say it

[jashall]

If someone doesn’t support me because of their religion, fine. As long as they don’t want me dead, or want to take my rights away. I just want to live my life how I want to.

[atas]

I’m a Christian, and I honestly don’t really care if you’re a transgender or a gay person, what really matters is if you are a good person.

Edit:
To the people taking a steaming dump on me, here’s the thing. There are things in life we should and shouldn’t care about. Being Gay or trans shouldn’t matter.

Nobody should care if people are gay or straight. In fact, we should care about the fact that there are people who think that the Earth is flat!

My point is, why does being Gay matter? It should not. This doesn’t matter and nobody should care. Because, there are bigger things in life to care about. This is not one of the big things to care about.

[sherlockhomeless]

Let's not forget the hate for Straight people and bi people. The amount of times I was called straight because I didn't agree with certain people and their points, or wasn't openly "gay" is not funny. It's a problem.

(Edit: ok I think I need to clarify this for the morons down below...
*I never stated that Straight people have it as bad as gay people. I only stated that there is hate for them, by the LGBTQ+ community. It's not a lot, but the fact that it exists is not good.* And no, I never said nor do I think that straight people are oppressed. Do I make myself very clear?)
