    On 27 May 2024, Ravne said the following...

    While I don't think gay men are depraved, I think you may have a point about MRO projecting. That could explain a lot, he's just a flaming gay guy dying to come out. That could also explain his flair for theatrics. Flaming gay men just LOVE theatrics.
    Projection tends to be the main MO of all of these types, the ones that hate on LGBTQ people & call us groomers & pedos. The haters are the ones that truly want to be pedos, they've even shown us by trying to make
    child marriage legal. ---

    now you're a homophobe lol

    "Flaming gay men just LOVE theatrics" .. are you gonna start talking about people eating watermelon now?

    You really just have zero idea of how to insult a lesbian. It's almost
    funny in how pathetic it is. You need some new material.
    You're a very cunning linguist.
    Methinks you're also a troll and will be gone soon.

    Was I trolling? Absolutely! Is that my interest in general? Not at all. I just get upset when I see people using slur words that were originally aimed at my people, taking them & throwing them around as "edgy insults" 1. at people they may not even apply to & 2. using such hurtful things in such a casual manner.

    To any that want to come back with something like "grow a thicker skin" or any such sentiment: the attitudes that allow this hurt to be looked at as if it's no big deal, it effects people's views of us & literally puts us in mortal danger. People take on the attitude that we're not people & our lives don't matter, then they start taking our lives, sometimes virtually (by taking away our rights) & sometimes literally.

    Another reminder in case it didn't get noticed in an earlier message where I mentioned it: It's less than a week to Pride month. How about we get some real ACTUAL support from y'all, instead of jumping on the bandwagons of demonizing us.

    Could it possibly be that some people don't ACTUALLY support such a
    thing as "Pride month"? Is that not their right, as much as it is yours
    to support it? Should non-LGBQT supporters be made to feel "guilty" for
    not supporting such things?

    No need to force it upon us, either. I have no reason to demonize you (again, you're projecting). I personally don't care what you do (or don't do), but I also don't need to include myself in something I have no interest in, whatsoever.

    In case you didn't realize or care, we just got done mourning the heroes that have given their lives to protect "our" (that's OUR as in ALL OF US - See? No demonizing there either) freedoms. Did you bother supporting that, by chance? Did you hit up a Memorial Day parade? Maybe visit a grave site? I didn't see you mention that whatsoever, but twice now you've made sure to let us all to know that pride month is coming soon!

Were you assuming as a lesbian I couldn't be a veteran? We were in the military long before we were openly accepted there. We defended the freedoms of those that push the attitude that our rights should be taken, the same as every military member defended ALL of our freedoms, including the freedom of LGBTQ people to love those that we love.

    I get it, you're a "middle of the road, I don't support you, but I don't want you to be murdered" type of guy. Do you speak out against those that do think I should be murdered, though? If not, then you're part of the problem.

    Are you talking about me not mentioning what I did for Memorial Day? Unfortunately I had to work & my partner had a long medical appointment to go to, so we weren't able to do anything special. You're the one that brought up Memorial Day when I mentioned Pride. Why would you assume I have disdain for 1 just because I promote the other? You come across like you assume I hate our country & that's not true at all. I can hate what some of our citizens are doing without hating the ideals of our country.

    I love /s how my desire to have the same rights as straight people is considered an "agenda" & how my desire to not be murdered is considered my "view". That's really all Pride is about, our demands (you're damn well right, we DEMAND) to be safe & have the same rights as everyone else, including the right to fair jobs access, fair housing, everything that straight people expect for themselves. Pride is about normalizing our existence in the world, not about trying to "shove our views in everyone's face".

    I don't see it now, but you said something about me going about trying to get my point across the wrong way. Am I? I don't know that I agree with that opinion. First of all, I have no delusion that I'm going to convince anyone here of anything, I'm really not sure why I even keep responding. Except, maybe there's an LGBTQ person out there that's been afraid to come out & maybe seeing my posts will help them be less afraid.

    Second, I could care less about being a "good gay", the ones that make sure to cave to the desires of straight people, to make sure they don't cross that line of what's acceptable to y'all. Have you ever heard the analogy of not thinking the leopards would ever eat MY face? That's what happens to "good gays", eventually the people they're putting on a good show for turn on them too, once they've gotten what they need from them. And no, don't pull out some shit about "you're saying all straight people are leopards that are going to eat the faces of gay people", the leopards eating faces are straight people that pretend to support gay people just long enough to try to get us to let our guards down.

    Asking for support from sucky old straight white men after criticising sucky old straight white men is a tall order.

    I think I will rather stay at home doing the stuff sucky old straight white men do, like oiling the guns, fixing the greenhouses and repairing small engines.

    Your strategy consists in antagonizing everybody who does not belong to your chosen group, which is a very bad strategy. When people realizes you are dividing society in a group consisting of "you" and a group consisting of "everybody else" and notices you are waging war against the second, they may decide it is worth it to build up a political defense to annihilate you before you annihilate them.

    And yes, you are waging war against "everybody else" despite your claims to the contrary. Your words ooze hate and resentment. You may attempt to sugar coat it but it does not work better than a nazi saying he has some non-white friend somewhere.

    There is also the point that rainbow politics are far beyond achieving human rights for homosexuals. It is just convenient that demands for equal human rights can be used as a cover. Meanwhile you have homosexuals supporting politicians who also support religious zealots that would have homosexuals killed, which comes to show word-soup politics is not necessarily related to homosexual rights. ie. there are political agendas and interests and a bunch of them aren¨ t pretty.

    It's because people like this one above, who claim they just want to be

    They use the "picked on" and "mistreated" labels in order to further
    that agenda.

    It's really that simple. They really are not content to just live their

    this has to be a joke. easily the largest source of violence against your community is from within. domestic violence is huge .. why do you hate each other? everything you read will say the violence is perpetrated by a "partner" .. what sort of parter do you expect a gay person might choose? everyone is so desperate to make it seem like random straight guys are going around beating up gay (or trans or whatever) people for fun.

"well, it's still happening somewhere on the planet!" ..

    it gets even more annoying when it's like "this homeless gay person was robbed! gay homeless people are more likely to be robbed! like 95%!" .. imagine i robbed 100 people and 5 of them were gay.. a perhaps generous estimate of the % of people in the US who are gay.. do you see how that skews
    that statistics? almost every homeless person gets robbed. holy cow all the homeless gay people got robbed, we have to do something about this violence against queer people!

    then you keep getting at how "words are violence" .. you repeatedly lump the word "fag" in with "pedophile" and "groomer" the first is an insult against a trait that can't be changed.. a part of who you are, as some people insist. but the second two it's obvious you would want to defend against. but if you remove the second two we have the two options here:

    trolling only to be dunked on by a bunch of spergs with anime
    avitars. you didn't want to be a part of this community, which is
    why you set yourself apart from it in the beginning. "if it
    wasn't for a few BBS women back in the day who told me everything
    will be okay because you're a woman" .. fuck off. i was going to
    ask if you wanted a parade for that, but that's exactly what you
    want.

    leopards eating faces are straight people that pretend to support gay people just long enough to try to get us to let our guards down. ---

    this is mental illness. if you're afraid of people like this.
    fear of what's around every corner.

    BRAVO!! BRAVO!!!

    I purposely quoted this entire message because I like it that much.
    Spot on accurate! Jesus I'm so freakin tired of the drama-assholes like
    the recent one we have here. Also known as trolls; hopefully to be gone
    soon.

    Again, well written and thanks!

    I don't need a "preferred term." Do you?

    How about don't refer to anyone in a derogatory way, and others may actually reply in kind. It's pretty simple.

    I get it, you're a "middle of the road, I don't support you, but I don't want you to be murdered" type of guy. Do you speak out against those that do think I should be murdered, though? If not, then you're part of the problem.

    And if someone attempts to speak out against those people but says the wrong thing, both camps jump all over them.

    I think he thinks we're all depraved men in soiled sweatpants living in their parent's basement. Sounds like projection to me.

    Yeah. I WISH my parents had a basement.
