Why do people hate us for who we are? I don’t get it

You have given a very accurate answer to OP’s question, without knowing you were doing it. People like you have come up with these false charges against the LGBTQ community because of things you’ve read/heard/believed off of the internet.

Let me ask you a question, and please answer with all honesty. If you did not have the internet, if you did not have tv and multimillion dollar news companies to watch, how would this group of people have any weight on your life at all? How would their celebrations and actions affect you? The answer is, quite plainly, they wouldn’t, not one little bit. However, you have bought into things you have read on the internet and heard from outlets like Fox News.

Where I live, the only time I hear about Pride is when there are people crying about it, even though there is nothing having to do with it in 100 miles. The fact of the matter is that people like yourself have always and will always want to be seen as the victim. Gay people exist, and people are going to celebrate it, get over it and mind your own business if you don’t like it.

@HandOfKarma My brother’s school has events like this. They had tried to have one such drag queen come read a story to a class of 9 year olds. It affects me. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t care, you’re right. If I had no internet and it wasn’t splattered over stores and flags were up in my local park for some reason (no flags during black history month, no flags that symbolize christianity during christmas, no flags except govt flags otherwise), then yeah obviously I would not care. But it is in my face, impacting my younger brother. So yeah, I care.
