As a gay guy who leans libertarian, I say we don't need ANY more "rights". It's a little embarrassing sometimes to be a part of a community whose leaders constantly portray us as victims.
Exactly, why do the democrats keep peddling division. And why add W, I, and A to LGBT. Why are asexuals an oppressed class? Is qu--r a gender?
This is nothing more than a variation of racial identity politics.
You can be fired for any or no reason if you're an exempt employee. Straight people get let go every day and how would an employer know if you're gay or not.
If there is a checkbox that says gay or lesbian and it becomes the layoff immunity button, I have no problems checking that off it grants me immunity.
Precisely. This is why I lie all the time when I use the pronoun "she" instead of "he" so I don't hurt your straight people's delicate feelings about this.
I'm old enough to remember when "racial identity politics" was called "civil rights".
Sure, but that was another era when blacks were truly oppressed.
Now the democrats keep adding letters to LGBT which is now LGBTQIA.
And now we have more racial classifications than the old South Africa.
Classifying every person as a human is better than classifying them as black, white, brown, Hispanic, Latin, Asian, mixed, white non-hispanic, white Hispanic, etc. By definition this activity divides people into groups. And every group is supposed to have a community with stereotypical behaviors and different goals. This is very divisive!!
Martin Luther King said the color of skin was not important. People should be judge by their character.
No one gets fired for being gay. Gays just want to be a "protected class" so they can sue if they are fired for anything or feel discriminated, etc.
At least in m corporate world, gays are treated like a protected class and get away with saying this most woild be fired for. There's a gay dude on my floor who I swear does nothing but gossip with the girls. Calls them "*******" and is constantly telling stories about his nights out . . .of course his manager is afraid to say anyhting
Everywhere I've worked, gay people were treated the same and acted the same as everyone else.
I think this is generally the case. You may have experienced a unique situation, so I'm not denying that has happened. In some situations gay people may have been treated better, but I'm sure there are situations where white people are treated better, black peoples are treated better, women handicap, etc. these unique situations are just that, unique, and they don't define the rest of the country.
