Default To the people who think the LGBT community is weak

I disagree.
I'm sure we're one of the strongest "minorities" I guess in the world!

It takes some serious balls to accept who you are even though people may look down on you for it and even more to be open about it!

We're sofa king amazing. Lol.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Blacks and women have done some amazing things too, but LGBT activists are right on their heels.

We might be a strong minority, but it's irrelevant and a pretty weak argument. There are plenty of other arguments that we could use for why we deserve equal rights to everybody. The most obvious being that we are human like everybody else and deserve to have the same basic human rights that others have. Saying we are a strong minority will not change anything as it's not really a realistic argument as to why we should get equal rights.

I do agree we are a strong minority, but if you want equal rights then you need to explore deeper into your views to fight against all the bullshit discrimination that will be thrown at you. They would tear that argument apart and spit it out.

In my place, the LGBT group is also in the Women's Rights Section. Strange...

This I know.
Which is why I'm leaving my comment at that. Lol.

I never have been good at proving a point;; I'm not as articulate as I could be I guess.
