[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] I think the point that the Neurovoid was making that people dont have to worry about holding hands [i]ont the basis of being heterosexual[/i] I'm sure a hetero jewish couple in an anti-semitic area might get shit for holding hands, but that would be because of their faith not because they are straight. Hetero people just dont get shit for being straight in most of the world in the modern world and in history.[/quote] And the point I was making was that being homosexual is just one of the problems a couple can face, not [i]the[/i] problem a couple can face. It's a variable within a relationship and the outsider response to that relationship, not the single defining factor, and therefore, there are many different ways for a couple to be endangered in public. One such reason could be as simple as looking at someone in public. Violence doesn't need a reason, a lot of the times. You are correct in saying that heterosexuals don't get shit for being heterosexual in the world. There's not a single country that gives people shit for that. Because that'd be - quite literally - the stupidest thing to ever exist. The reason being that if you are anti-heterosexuals you are anti-human nature, because fact of the matter is heterosexual couples make babies and therefore every society looks at heterosexuals favorably. A society that is anti-heterosexual can't exist because that society would die out within one generation. The entire point I'm making is that the legal rights of LGBT people have been established, therefore there is not much more the LGBT crowd can protest for. Bar maybe the bathroom rights (which I find a ridiculous thing to feel the need to argue for to begin with). Socially yeah, there's a lot we can still establish and improve on. Such as homosexuals not being targeted in public. Sadly you can never eradicate homosexuals being targeted - not because of religion, not because of hatred, not for any reason, because even if you remove those factors, senseless violence for no reason other than the desire to be violent still exists, and it is not unlikely in my eyes that this is a large cause for the violence against homosexual couples. Protests won't help you with that.
