Isn't that pretty cool?
Just be happy for the people that aren't loud about it. There are decent and shitty people regardless of orientation.Inconsequential, just like the recent legalisation here in Aus. The world hasn't collapsed due to gays getting married, but at the same time the LGBT ideology hasn't realised that it no longer has a reason to exist as a political movement.

God, I wish GiTS tech was real.The real milestone is when those oppressed souls who wish to marry their waifu pillow get their wish
Of course, but there is no equivalent heterosexual political lobby to criticise.
Just stop carrying on about it. It's done, the fight is over.
I’m curious how divorces will play out.
Church =/= State.Kinda silly. I say they could have stripped the financial benefits from marriage and kept it strictly as the union of a man and woman. Nothing more, nothing less.
You don't know many gay people IRL do you? The only person I've known to do this was this straight woman that was ex military.The gay marriage battle has given way to battle to allow parents to inject sex hormones (puberty blockers) into their 7 year old kids and all sorts of other vile ridiculousness. So no, I don't think it's cool. At the time I thought it was great, but now I'm thinking it should have ended at "tolerance."
To do what? Change their mind on gay marriage? I know quite a few gay people, work closely with a few. Nice enough people for the most part, but I can no longer support it after seeing the direction all of this is going.You don't know many gay people IRL do you?

I don't know how you can equate gay marriage to people abusing their kids. I believe that is a whole other monster.To do what? Change their mind on gay marriage?

That is a pretty gay way of thinking bro. You do you though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Because normalizing "gay" has moved the bar to where all this other shit is now being normalized. I think treating "gay" as if it's normal is bad for society as a whole.
How so?That is a pretty gay way of thinking bro. You do you though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gay culture is not normal, and trying to normalize it doesn't gel with many other facets of the culture.You can't have this be a normal acceptable part of your cultureBecause normalizing "gay" has moved the bar to where all this other shit is now being normalized.

There never had to be. Heterosexual people were never denied the ability to marry, so why would they need to have anything like that.
I wish that were true, but critics of LGBT marriage have made it very clear they intend to keep fighting it. Hell, here's two attempts from this year.
Tennessee's 'Natural Marriage Defense Act' is making a comeback, would prohibit same-sex weddings
Tennessee Republicans have filed legislation to keep the state from permitting same-sex marriages.www.tennessean.com
Kansas Bill Would Outlaw Same-Sex Marriages
Legislation by Republican Randy Garber classifies same-sex marriages as "parody marriages."www.advocate.com
and I have a feeling that Trump is only going to embolden these people even more. I wish the fight was over, but opponents of LGBT marriage keep bringing it, so we need constant vigilance.
Our Society is pretty fucked as is, but it isn't because we have become okay with gays marrying. I don't want to go offtopic here or get political because that itself is one of the actual contributing factors itself. Those who want us to be scared and divided through media manipulation. The Lizard people.How so?

Then in the same breath say you want to be treated like everyone else, it's ridiculous.
And the point that you clearly missed is that homosexual people are no longer denied the ability to marry, so the associated political lobby no longer has a reason to exist.
And the point that you clearly missed is that though we have the right now, people are still trying to take it back from us, so we must remain strong. Until it becomes enshrined in the constitution, LGBT marriage and associated rights will be threatened.
Fair, but then it should be utilised in a defensive capacity. In my observation, since acquiring the right to marry, the LGBT political lobby has gone on the offensive, likely due to correctly recognising their diminishing relevance and necessity. It’s what every political movement that has overstayed its welcome does.
Sarcasm fontThe parade that serves as a display for exhibitionists, show offs, and narcissists has exhibitionists, show offs, and narcissists
They clearly represent their whole sexual orientation.
Maybe the bakery incidents?What exactly do you mean by this anyway?

True, but this a public display around numerous cities to celebrate pride.There's a lot in these parades that most normal people wouldn't be proud of, moreover I see the media promoting them and honoring them.I rarely see or hear people of the LGBT community disavowing this behavior.When BCR/Spring Break or Freaknik was big, people spoke against it due to unwonted behavior, but with pride parades, nothing.You can't stand shoulder to shoulder with this stuff and not condone it, it's hypocrisy.Our Society is pretty fucked as is, but it isn't because we have become okay with gays marrying.

Being gay and gay culture are two different things. Not all gay people choose to be loud and parade around shirtless.
I don't think religion is equivalent to a sexual orientation. That is coming from an agnostic. I think at one point the LGBT fought for equality and being treated the equally. But now it is more of a us vs them and they have been doing things that made many gay people move away from them. But that is just IMO anyway.Religious exemptions are still a form of discrimination, which is covered under the commerce clause. Straight people don't have to worry about people refusing to bake cakes for their wedding, why should LGBT people?
Big cities themselves are full of unpleasant people and the media pushes agendas what else is new?True, but this a public display around numerous cities to celebrate pride.There's a lot in these parades that most normal people wouldn't be proud of, moreover I see the media promoting them and honoring them.I rarely see or hear people of the LGBT community disavowing this behavior.When BCR/Spring Break or Freaknik was big, people spoke against it due to unwonted behavior, but with pride parades, nothing.

Since the battle for equal marriage rights under the law was won, there were no more battles to fight. Right now, there are no laws in Australia that treat people differently on the basis of sexuality. I believe the same is true for America. So then any residual homosexual politics should revolve solely around the protection of anti-discrimination laws that are already in place, not the creation of new laws.
What I have observed in the aftermath of the gay marriage victory is that there is a fervor -- an almost religious zealotry -- in the LGBT political coalition that simply must have a battle to fight. They are no longer happy with tolerance and equality under the law; they seek to indoctrinate as many people as possible with their ideology and to acquire additional rights and special treatment. These include, to name a few: the right to dictate the words that other people use; the right to force radical, unscientific gender theory into classrooms just as the religious right used to do in the evolution vs. creationism debate; and the right expose children like Desmond to the degenerate aspects of LGBT culture under the guise of "diversity and inclusion" -- weasel words that I reject as nothing more than political propaganda. In reality, these things only serve to alienate the moderates and general public from your movement and create the risk that normal homosexuals who simply want to go about their lives in peace will be caught in the cultural crossfire. A functional society will not stand for these things being foisted upon children.

First off, there are several laws in place or trying to be in place in America that are designed to discriminate against LGBT. I posted two of the more extreme ones (state based banning of LGBT marriage), but a bunch more states are trying to pass different types of laws to make it OK to discriminate on the basis of employment, housing, etc. As for everything else you wrote, all we want is to spread the idea that it is indeed OK to be LGBT. Hatred and discrimination are learned at an early age, so it's best to counter that as soon as possible.
The LGBT agenda is to live and love without the risk of discrimination or murder. That's it.
Perhaps that’s how you approach it, but there are other unsavory elements using the LGBT banner as a Trojan horse for some truly insidious ideas, often involving children. You have ignored the examples I listed and done the typical handwave dismissal of “everything else you said”. Like it or not, your political movement must convince people like me that your ideas are worth supporting. That’s the entire purpose of a political movement in a democracy. So long as the undesirables who are pushing modern gender theory in classrooms; pushing for acceptance of drag and trans children; and trying to enforce speech codes are allowed to continue waving the LGBT banner, I will not support you. It is up to you to excise these elements from your movement if you want my support.
I don't want children exposed to this kind of shit. I don't want children to be giving any thought to "sexual identity" "gender identity" before hitting puberty. Yet here we are in 2019 with children's TV programming introducing them to gay characters.
