Why is it news that a 'celebrity' is identifying with the most celebrated people group in the U.S.?
Buddy, a supreme court justice recently said they should reconsider gay marriage.
Oh no, one supreme court justice said they want to revisit a case, the horror!
Yes, in the wake of stripping women of abortion rights saying they should consider doing the same for gay marriage is a horror. Are you fucking kidding me?
As a person who belongs to “the most celebrated people group in the US”, I think it’s important for people like me to see ourselves represented in the world. We are a minority, so it’s noteworthy when a public figure comes out.
And idk man I don’t feel celebrated all that much in the US. Every week I see religious protestors outside the gay bar in my city with signs saying that I’m going to burn in hell for all eternity. I’ve been called a removed more times than I can count for simply holding another man’s hand while walking down the street. I’ve been fired from a job waiting tables because the manager saw my boyfriend pick me up.
Maybe your perspective, as someone who does not live every day of their life as a member of this community, is different. You might see the push to advocate for acceptance of LGBT+ people as “celebrating” them. It is not. It’s tolerance, and we still don’t even have that.
Man, I hate when people call me a "removed"
It's ok to use self referential slurs. They're our words 😌

I'm Filipino, I'd like to see more people 'like me' represented, but biden just cares about flying the pride flag and ignoring actual minorities
Ok I’m just gonna move right past the “actual minorities” thing because… yikes. I hope that just came across wrong because it sounds incredibly insensitive
I think representation is important for all minorities and I can empathize with wishing our elected politicians would do more. Biden has done a lot during his term to support the LGBT community, but obviously there is a lot more that needs to be done. He has promised to pass a bill reaffirming the rights of LGBT people after the recent Supreme Court case. That would be huge but we will have to see if Republicans in Congress prevent it from passing, as they’ve done with countless other progressive proposals.
Here is some of the other work he’s done to support LBGT people. Hope you see that he’s paying far more than just lip service

1 in 5 gen z'ers are part of the + community. Almost twice as many as there are black people.
People that identify as LGBTQIA2S+ are just trying to hop into the trendiest and most celebrated community in the country. I don't blame the, there's all these flashy lights, and bright colors and all their friends love talking about gender and sexuality, but lets stop pretending it's a minority. It's a subjective group that loosely identifies similarly, it's a fun club to these kids.
Are you really trying to pretend like conservatives aren't constantly calling LGBTQ+ people groomers and pedophiles? Seriously?
I'm saying that LGBTQIA2S+ folks are the most celebrated folk in America.
And I'm saying you're full of shit.

Your valid as fuck bro, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And both of you are very much valid, as well as anyone should be. Differences of sexuality makes no person lesser for them. So what if someone is attracted or not attracted to any specific thing? We're all people nonetheless.

Bitch I’m double oppressed,
Imagine thinking someone is inherently oppressed for being born.

Unless they came out as a white middle aged Christian male I have no idea how you can possible actually think this.
When was the last time you saw a white pride flag hanging up outside the white house?
I see trump flags and blue lives matter flags everywhere what are you talking about?
Where did biden hang up any trump lags or blue lives matter flags??
Imagine being this stupid.
Imagine having no argument against it, so you just attack the individual.
Imagine not wanting to waste my time.
