Lgbtqia+ Chat

A space for all members of the LGBTQIA+ to come and chat and unwind, free of judgement or ridicule. Have fun and be kind. ;)

 

That’s a biased poll i suppourt

 

Me too! XD

 

y tho

 

Wdym

 

idk the community here is very accepting. making a thread only for lgbt talk seems kinda redundant.

 

True, but sometimes people want a space for themselves, which is what this is supposed to be. I get your point, but the fact you said lgbt not lgbtqia+ suggests that accepting tho u r, u need to brush up on being polite and respectful to the community to make them feel fully accepted.

 

adding qia+ is just attention whoring, queers/questioning are covered by LGBT, intersex people make up less than 0.1% of the population so imo they shouldnt really be on that, Ace also shouldnt be on the list.
the LGBT movement was created to act and protest against LGBT oppression and for LGBT rights, qia+'s arent oppressed and have the same rights as the rest, adding more letters only hurts our effort and ridicules us in the eyes of people who are against the cause.

this has been one of the most grown up and respectful communities I've found on the internet, thats why I think a thread dedicated to this is redundant (also the forums are dead, we are all on discord)

 

bias that filters out people with wrong opinions is always acceptable

 

I completely disagree, but won't start a fight over something Lgbtqia+ members should be united over - our pride and equality. Just bc ace amd intersex people make up a small percentage doesn't mean they shouldn't be represented, and are you stupid ofc queer/questioning/ace/intersex people are oppressed and abused, search it up.

 

YIKES

 

i didnt say aces are a small minority, i said they arent oppressed, you can be ace with no legal action taken against you
intersex is completely legal and isnt a sexuality so i dont understand why its even on the acronym
i didnt say queers and questioning arent oppressed, i said they fall under the regular acronym

 

Really? You didn't say they were oppressed? Just shush and go on with your day, stop being stupid here.

________________________________

You said it right here, "qia+'s arent oppressed"

 

not oppressed in ways that differ from what the regular LGBT movement is fighting against
questioning arent decided yet
queer is just an umbrella term for LGBT
intersex isnt a sexuality
aces arent oppressed, you can be not attracted to anyone you want

 

Don't engage. Not worth doing.
Anyways, for myself personally I am nether for nor against the idea. I think neat if it's added but that it doesn't need to be added.

 

The fact you just said intersex isn't a sexuality shows how much of an idiot u r, and a false ally of your fellow community.

1. There is a difference between being oppressed and having people dislike because you are something (in this case, asexual). It should also be noted this in most places (including most Western European countries) asexuals are not a protected minority group, so an asexual person could be fired and that would be perfectly legal.
2. There are examples of asexual people being sexually harassed (or even raped).
3. The LGBTQ+ community includes gender minorities, but also people who are aren't heterosexual and heteroromantic, so that includes asexual people (and also aromantic people).
(I'll note that I'm not asexual but stuff like this drives me insane.)

Transgender or non-binary also aren't but like intersex, those are gender minorities, which are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

 

EXACTLY

 

Hello!

Healthy discussion is always encouraged, but this situation devolved into "You said this and that" flame-war. Please do not try creating situations with clearly negative intents (referring to this:

) The thread is clearly meant to create an environment, and I quote:

, please respect it as that. Please drop the flamewar, otherwise the thread may be locked.

Yours,

I think you're missing the point. LGBT+ is not (especially in the context of this thread) just a political movement, but also a group of people. The thread isn't even about political activism. That's a meaning you inferred from it yourself. It's a place to talk for and about those who are part of sexual/gender minorities. And yes, that does include queer, intersex and asexual people.

Besides, your existence doesn't need to be illegal in order to justify making a forum thread.

I know the thread hasn't exactly gone as planned, but come on, one disrespectful comment isn't even close to being a flame war.
