    Using a pejorative name to refer to LGBT… you’re not helping your argument with that one.

      When I say “the alphabet mafia,” I’m not talking about gay people, bisexual people, etc. I’m referring to the bully activists who go around stirring shit and spreading lies about society and claim to represent gay and bisexual (etc.) people.

          Correct. Because I don’t rant against gay people and people telling me to stop are effecting a slander against me. It doesn’t help me, and it doesn’t help gay people. All they are doing is stirring shit and profiting from it.

            Shallow bigot now accuses critics of “profiting” from identifying the things he says out loud in public.

            Leave.

            It doesn’t help me, and it doesn’t help gay people.

            So who are you helping right now?

        I mean, look— I don’t like holier-than-thou activists either, but you need to make a distinction between them, actual activists, and the groups they’re representing. The former is an extreme minority.

        Instead of being distrustful of the movement and making yourself look like an ass by preemptively attacking, your energy is better spent not bothering. In the event you encounter a nutjob, go troll them or tell them to pound sand. I promise you, as long as you aren’t on (formerly Twitter) or Tumblr circa 2016, it’s not as common as you think.

          There are no “actual activists.” There are no causes. The only thing left to fight for is the right to indoctrinate very young school children into gender ideology and show them, graphically, how to be gay.

            You cannot show anybody how to be gay. You are either born gay, or you aren’t. Sexuality is not a choice. You need to better educate yourself.

            My dude… “They” don’t want to make your children gay. They just don’t want your children bullying and beating up children who are.
