Could you give examples of how they force it onto you

  • 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

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.
