the threat was 100% lethal and it basically guaranteed that they had to give it their all or they would die

but yeah let's compare that to a group fighting for exclusively their group (because who else would benefit from same-love marriage) who has a small chance of being killed by super-bigots and the mentally-ill

yet soldiers are the ones who are able to choose to fight - lgbt people had/have to fight for equality, they had no other way of attaining it.

If anyone thinks what gays went through is comparable to what the soldiers went through they're loving handicapped. These guys went months at a time wondering if they would be next as they watched someone they've become friends with get their head blown to bits.

and lgbt people watched as HIV/AIDS killed their friends and families under the reagan administration. both are horrific

i just dont see a point in splitting hairs about which is worse or why one being worse makes this disrespectful. this image isn't comparing the suffering of soldiers and LGBT - its comparing their victories (its main statement is that LGBT people have won in their battle for rights)

perhaps if some parallel between soldiers suffering in trenches and lgbt people was being made i'd see the point yall are making. but the original image is triumphant not painful

Leasuresuit would be offended if the picture being mocked was members of the IRA

what's with you and constantly misrepresenting the people who disagree with you? does it have more to do with how you have to right all the time, or do you just legitimately not understand anyone who disagrees with you?


--- Quote from: JumboMuffin on July 03, 2017, 03:25:31 PM ---cause this whole pride stuff is stupid, just living your life as normal without shoving your loveuality in peoples faces would help gain peoples respect more than a massive parade with loads of half naked men

--- End quote ---
that depends on the context. a parade in which a bunch of gay people walk around naked is not the same a protest or a march to gain rights. in either case, I don't see how a police car contributes to why people hate gays.


--- Quote from: Verification on July 03, 2017, 03:30:24 PM ---a week ago i got banned from a discord for saying "It's okay to be gay"
is the lgbt overly sensitive or is this just political correctness

--- End quote ---
knowing you, they probably just banned you for being annoying.
