[quote=@Buddha] Please read. [b]Including me[/b] I wrote. [/quote] Please read: AND a few others in this thread. Cheers Mate. [quote=@Buddha] 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. [/quote] Well I think that it doesnt just boil down to 'baby making' there are infertile straight couples and they dont get shit either, or genreally straight people who just dont want kids, but the idea of a man and woman is so normal to everyone we dont persecute it. Yes people can get shit for a range of reasons. Just like the jew example I gave. You can protest social acceptance, legislation isnt the be all end all. Race relations dont get automatically correct just by a government bill, the Rap music you listen to speaks volumes about this. Killer Mike said that just because you arent legally allowed to own slaves or segregate it doesn't mean youll start having black folk over for dinner. So if gays want to 'push' themselves into the public spectacle by having their parades, because they want thier sexuality to become more normalised like hetorosexuality is, then let em have it, they have a right to platform just like anyone else. Is it annoying and loud sometimes? Absolutely but so was the damn brexit movement or the Milo Yianouppolus fan club or those cringey slut walks, its annyoing, but then a lot of things are annyoing,I could cry on the internet but, I stick my headphones on and keep it moving.
