This doesn't pertain to anyone rn, just a thought:

Why is it called homophobia? like xenophobia? You aren't terrified of gay people. You don't see one and start screaming and running for your life. People just don't like gay people and that's that. You won't change their minds but the way I see it. You don't have to like gay people but you can and will respect them as fellow human beings and treat them with the same rights (marriage, not blocking off usage of certain restrooms, not allowing businesses to not allow them inside based on sexuality) and you do this through law.[/quote]

There's a difference between legal rights, of which a homophobe will hopefully agree that homosexuals should have access to equal laws and rights. There's also social treatment. Nobody is under any pressure to be friends with homosexuals, to like them, or to accept them.

I can be anti homosexuality, and still agree that homosexuals should have equal access to any rights I have. So you're right. Law = law. Social interaction however is not.

[quote=@SilentWriter83]You're not going to make people like others through law but you can grant them rights. People didn't, and still don't like black people. (I know this trust me) But we were granted the same rights as our white counterparts. Why? We're human. Same thing goes with non-hetero or non-cis people.[/quote]

This is cognitive bias. I'm white, I fuck heavily with black people. I just don't like the ones that scream racism in my face for making a casually racist joke. In the same way I don't get mad when my friend calls me a school shooter. But it's a matter - for me - of knowing the time and place of when these things are appropriate.

White people that walk up to a[b] random [/b]black person and go 'ey my nigga' make me cringe. White people that go up to random black people and ask 'can I touch your hair' make me cringe.

White people know no shame. 

Same goes for black people. Some black people did some cringy shit to me too, but key part that I took away from that is that it doesn't reflect on black people all together. 

One other thing I noticed is that there's not much hatred within the white-people group. Maybe in Europe there's some historical tensions but not racial ones between white people.

Where as in the US, white people love eachother.

Now look at blacks - lightskin vs. darkskin, Carribean vs. US vs. African blacks, it's a lot of infighting and hatred within that group.

Black on black crime is a real and dangerous thing and I don't think it gets as much attention from blacks as it should. In fact it's kinda glorified a lot.

[quote=@SilentWriter83]They wanna make some excuse that this 'bathroom law' will prevent rapes in bathrooms. False. It's just so conservatives can control the people that don't conform. I've watched a man follow a woman into a bathroom because she had short hair and wore basketball shorts. I've seen a woman, who didn't conform to the female archetype (basically short hair and 'boys' clothes) dragged out of the bathroom because police didn't believe she was born female. Like what, am I supposed to drop my pants and prove I have a vagina before I can pee?[/quote]

Disagree. I don't think the conservatives want to control anyone. Keep in mind I'm not a conservative nor a liberal, I am just whatever I want to be when it comes to issues. I can be liberal when it comes to technology and stuff, and I'm very conservative about values, norms and social stuffs. I switch around because I don't want my (political) opinions to be decided by whoever I side with. 

If you believe the conservatives want to [i]control[/i] people I think that's wrong. Yes they want to control people - to control them into using a certain bathroom. In the same way liberals want to control people - control them into using whatever bathroom, or control them into agreeing with them (with their 'stick' being the act of labeling anyone that disagrees as a sexist/bigot). It's a different side of the same damn coin, isn't it? It's not like they want to powertrip and become these lizard people that control everyone and their mother, with microchips in their brains.

Come on. You know better than that.

[quote=@SilentWriter83]idk. I think it's dumb. No, not everyone will like non-hetero people but laws that specifically target them aren't cool. Who cares if a transgender person wants to use the bathroom that makes them more comfortable. And if, this is a big if, a man tries to claim he's transgender just to get in, the trust me something will be done. No woman really goes to the bathroom alone. We go in pairs as we were taught since we were little to avoid situations such as these. (also no one seems concerned at all about women lying to get into mens bathrooms but I won't touch on the hypocrisy behind THAT one as if men are innately predatory and women are these meak things. bleh)[/quote]

I'm on the fence. Gender has very fucking little to do with how you urinate or shit. Sex is important for the urinate part. 
But then I also really don't care for female/male bathrooms and we should just get 1 bathroom for all.

I also doubt women would lie to get in the mens bathroom. If they want to see my dick or anyone elses dick, they can just ask and most men will happily show them.

We're weak in the brain when it comes to that.

[quote=@SilentWriter83]These are just thoughts. So basically. Homophobia is not a phobia. You aren't scared you just disagree. People will never fully accept gay people because (slight offense) religion won't allow it. You'll always have people steadfast in their beliefs and you won't rid them of them. But everyone deserves the same rights regardless of sex, gender, orientation, skin color, etc.
