This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern "lgbqt alphabet" movement of now.
Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn't have much choice in the matter.
With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.
You'll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as "homophobia" but they aren't.
They are two different movements and should separated.
The right becoming more radical with their attitudes to the LGBQT+ make queer people also respond more radically to their aggressive rhetoric.
Also, can you expand on what criticisms are labelled as "homophobia"? I'd genuinely like to know.
This is me becoming a problem
Get the fuck out of here with that “lgbt alphabet, the queers are getting too uppity” bullshit.
Stonewall was organised with crucial help from Militant as fuck black trans activists. The LGBTQ movement used to be full goblin mode and it got results because of that. Direct actions brings in the goods. Fuck that tone policing seen not heard bullshit.
The trans community is currently facing mounting pressure from increasingly more violent and aggressive fascists goons, backed by police and the political establishment of a few dozen states. The democrats - allies in name only - are largely unbothered by this or simply unwilling to expend political capital to defend trans folk from the christo-fascists.
And make no mistake, this shit is coming for all queer folk. Trans issues are the wedge the right will use to attack all LGBTQ rights.
In summary: eat my shit and ass hair, pig
Do not dare to speak on my behalf with that tone.
You describe a US problem. Keep that in mind or STFU.
This comment really highlights the lack of materialism in liberal ideology.
Queer people getting rights in the past required people to change their behaviour and modes of thought, and the modern queer movement still just want to be treated like everyone else - like not having to constantly correct people about their gender.
Nothing has changed. They're the exact same movement, still trying to claw its way to equality.
My only contact with the lgbqt movement is here on Lemmy and they tend to be openly hostile here, so I just don't post my questions. :)
Feels a bit like anger tantrums as soon as someone may have another opinion about things than they do.
Even a post like this may be seen as "hater"... Ok. :)
Wow you are so right.
I told those Nazis that they don't need to change their thinking or behavior against Jews. They just need to give equal rights to Jews.
You are so smart. Amazing take. It isn't like taking those old guard gayz didn't want people to change their thinking (i.e. thinking gay people are normal, socially acceptable, gay rights) or their behavior (lynching, killing, draconic laws, etc.). Totally right. The alphabet mafia nowadays are infringing on OUR RIGHT to think what we want and do what we want.
Maybe the confederacy had a point. Maybe the north was just so bad trying to force the south to change their thinking and their behavior. Your take is not reactionary at all.
