Enforcing such laws would be a hinderance to society which could be abused by anyone.

yeah, that would be a problem and it would be bullstuff. you gotta consider that there are probably also people pushing for laws to ban video games and make cellphones illegal, and obviously those people are silly and unreasonable and don't have a lot of representation. in america this definitely isn't a major legislative push if it is one at all

it's not really laws, it's the political establishment (mostly left) pushing this new political correctness standard that pretty much hinders free speech and caters to minority groups. if you don't live up to the standard, you're gonna get forgeted by the media

idk to me the reasonable standard seems to just be "don't be completely insensitive" unless you're looking at more sketchy, polarized opinions. just the same, the extreme right is pushing a lot of really weird regressive ideas against certain groups. the problem is that politics in general is becoming more polarized; extreme views in both areas might be getting more representation, but they aren't going anywhere fast because they're increasingly unable to compromise with increasingly distant opposition

also there's a lot of stuff media around these days because the internet doesn't impose much of a quality barrier to newcomers. as a direct result, there's a fresh, new, growing market around for bullstuff, and it can come in whatever flavor you like. it's also incredibly easy to get only the news you want to hear, which is only pushing the problem further. don't get me wrong, this is overall a good thing because the ready availability of information has benefits that far outweigh the costs, but it's definitely a problem these days that affects all people and ideologies alike

Why was Hermaphrodite included in his speech? That exists and doesn't deserve to be put up there with the mockery of everything else.

cuz it was a joke and he just listed stuff r u actually offended

the video was making fun of all LGBT ideals, trying to say that anything else than "straight and male" is stupid, essentially

while I agree the left can be radical, this is just ridiculous as recoil
The fact that there are "LGBT ideals" is handicapped in and of itself.
Gay marriage is legalized, there isn't anything to fight for anymore. If people have negative opinions of people outside the gender binary they have them for a reason, and won't be changing them easily.

objectively incorrect
they definitely do. there's de facto problems for LGBT people which are better taken care of with more hands-off approaches (legislating equality isn't something i tend to advocate for because you can easily end up in sketchy situations like what seems to be happening in germany), and in many states, there's a complete lack of many protections in housing, employment, etc that apply to groups like racial minorities and the disabled. the fact that there are still states like alabama and north carolina fighting the national government about these kinds of things kinda shows that there's still some work to be done. there's also always the danger that someone like ted cruz could take steps to undo a lot of progress that's been made recently.

Let's take the new Anti-Transgendered laws (that's the T in in LGBT) in North Carolina. If you were a a butch, muscular, often even bearded transgender man being forced to go to a woman's bathroom every day, don't you think you'd want to fight against that?
Saying "People already have rights--they don't need anymore" has only ever helped the oppressor.

Insulting LGBT people because some SJWs try to censor speech is the same as insulting all Christians because Texas tried to ban brown town.

You're right, I forgot homoloveuality is still punishable by death in Guam. Break out the rainbow flags, we've got some retweeting to do!

loveuality =/= Gender
EXACTLY!
Gender is just who you feel like you are.
Also this wasn't offensive to me, I just feel like it was a bit... ugh. "Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone inbetween and outside those categories" would've worked fine. Naming the majorities specifically is fine and really I don't think this was necessary whether it was a joke or not.
...on the topic of gender/who you are attracted to, I saw a thing on the interwebs that said "Love is love. I support it."

The fact you got triggered by his joke is why he made the joke. He just proved his point.

wherefore wast h'rmaphrodite did include in his speech? yond exists and doesn't des'rve to beest putteth up th're with the fleer'ry of ev'rything else.

Why was male and female included in his speech? That exists and doesn't deserve to be put up there with the mockery of everything else.

No we should insult all christians because god isn't real, not because they are trying to ban brown town.

They are worshiping a sun god.
