If you type "lgbt" in Google, you get a cool color scheme.

That you're being Captain Obvious.

That you're being Captain Obvious.

Yes?

I care because everyone assumes they don't exist. If they do, I'm sure they don't appreciate it.

The thing is that there's a large amount of evidence backing the claim that it's not a choice, and this evidence has led to a scientific consensus supported by every major sociology and psychological association that is' not a choice.. It you want to suggest it is, you need to present very strong evidence and reasoning to support your claim otherwise people just dismiss you as another one of those morons who think they know more than the experts

What's it matter if its a choice?

Last I checked, in a free country, I can choose what I do as long as it doesn't adversely effect others or it isn't against the law...

That's not how science works. You can't just say "scientific consensus is you're wrong." The fact of the matter is there are a grand number of new things to discover, on our planet and elsewhere. A scientists doesn't tell someone they are wrong just for putting out an idea.

If I were to tell a scientist, "The theory of gravity might be wrong," they would say, "Yes, it could be, but probably not."

You don't need evidence to have an idea.

That's now science works... Sure you can have an idea that goes against convention, but unless evidence is provided it remains just that, an idea. So if you were to say the theory of gravity which isn't a theory but rather a scientific law that modern science is built upon was wrong, you might get someone that has an open mind that might say that it could be wrong, but you will probably be dismissed as you've presented nothing but a giant load of unproven bullstuff.

Unless of course you blindly follow a religion in which it tells you to discriminate against someone.

Besides, being gay isn't exactly a stroll in the park. People will be prejudiced towards you, you're more likely to contract AIDS, your family and friends could disapprove of your loveuality.

I never really got why people assume all people of a certain demographic have the same struggles.
What if you don't have much love, and your family supports you, but you just happen to be gay?
I find it hard to believe there aren't people out there who are gay and have never had it adversely affect their lives.

What's your beef with LGBT?

Yeah richard is good 4 u

It is a hot topic with a history of debate and ranting. Any discussion can incite an argument.

Like seriously. I am loving sick of everyone bitching about either side. Straight pride is something that isn't needed and thats why people get angry about it. I think lgbt isn't necessary but its a topic that seriously pisses me off whenever I see it on the forums. Literally every topic on this forum about genders, feminists, gay pride or tumblr turns into a massive argument where people cannot side on one thing. I remember there was an lgbt thread and that was a loving mess. I don't care if being gay is a choice or if you're just a special snowflake, just shut the forget up and stop ramming your head into every topic related to it. Sure, its a massive debate, but every time
Neither side is correct but they still have points, I'm so tired of seeing lgbt and social justice warriors around on the internet, just leave them be and let them have their own opinions, if you hate them don't bother replying. They're in their own world. While lgbt and genders are a different topic, they both start the same stuffstorm that happens on this forum.

No, but its this type of topic in general. Every single time someone makes a topic related to this it turns into a massive war between the forums and its loving irritating. Just keep your opinions to yourself and some topics I think try to start arguments like this, its just plain annoying and I think I'm the only one to notice. Every time theres something like this the forum starts a never ending war until an admin takes action
 Proof?
Literally every topic about lgbt or gays turns into a 20 page whatever

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=251857.0
Almost every topic I've seen related to gays, genders or anything else turns into a debate about it. Good loving god I am sick of it. If you're gay, good job. Anyways, I think op was trying to make an argument happen.
