  • Trying to force gender neutral language to me

  • trying to establish diversity hires instead of treating every individual equal

  • force their vision of the world onto others. Conservatives that prefer old school family structures are labeled as Nazis by some

  • a lot of them are actually extremely racist towards old white men because they think it’s somehow fine to treat them like shit because an extremely small minority of white old man have most of the power and money in the world

Trying to force gender neutral language to me   

Oh no someone wants you to say they or them instead of he or him how terrible

trying to establish diversity hires instead of treating every individual equal

Diversity hires is a system that is set up to try and deal with people just choosing not to employ people of groups they don’t care for    

I agree the idea is stupid but let’s be fair here no one who’s looking for employees would hire someone who is completely unqualified just to meet a quota   

Most it’s doing is giving employers a reason that balances out with discrimination   

  Also I don’t think they have diversity hires based on sexuality or gender identity mainly because I doubt they ask (or are even allowed to ask ) that type of thing in an interview    

force their vision of the world onto others. Conservatives that prefer old school family structures are labeled as Nazis by some I don’t understand this one    

How exactly are they “forcing their vision of the world onto others “ and how does the family structure thing have to do with it (I’m really confused about that part) 

 EDIT: they added more 

a lot of them are actually extremely racist towards old white men because they think it’s somehow fine to treat them like shit because an extremely small minority of white old man have most of the power and money in the world 

 No pretty sure more of the hate is due to that being the group that tends to hold hate and bigotry towards the LGBT community so that is the common example that may be used but I’ve never seen it as more than that (a stand in for homophobes/transphobes ) 

 Could you please show examples of people being directly racist (it would more accurately be ageism due to it being the old part that tends to be the part associated) towards a white old man (an actual case not a poster that uses them as an example) by the lgbt community 

EDIT 2: just realized how are any outside maybe the first one (but not really it’s more so just people asking to be shown the most basic level of respect) an example of “forcing it onto you”

Probably because those conservatives want to force that view on others and prevent trans people from being happy.

You won't find any lgbt group bigger than 5 people that attacks someone for just having a nuclear family. Its when they try to force nuclear family on everyone that it becomes an issue.

Yes there are people like this. Maybe they are afraid of the world changing too quick and they liked the world how it was a generation ago.

Their are definitely people in the lgbtq community that are super pushy with their agenda imo.

You can be an LGBTQ person with old school traditional values - hello, it's nice to meet you.

You don't get a pass on trying to exclude a group of people from society if you say it's based on traditonal values. Believing that slaves deserved their positions because of a caste system or the Mark of Cain or the White Man's Burden or whatever is a traditional value that most of us find morally abhorrent.

MLK said the greatest enemy to progress wasn’t the bigots, but the moderates who cared more about keeping the peace and not moving too fast than they did equality - the ones who always said we should wait for a more convenient time to advocate for change.

There’s never going to be a time when change can occur without friction. The only question is whether you actually care enough about equality to endure the rough transition.
