What do you say when anti-gay people claim they're the victims?

I just ignore them because anyone with a brain can see that this is just a last resort to fight back. It is a sign also that we the LGBTQS world are making massive moves towards a better future!

 

This statement always pisses me off , they act like we are trying to silence them or we have war on religion , to think we have to be tolerant of their meana and hateful words, like we have to respect their right to be bigoted hateful people, its so insane.

 

I tell them that they are not the victims but the victimizers.

 

I don't say anything, I just laugh.

 

That's a totally amazing way to handle it , I will put it to use next time I encounter someone who thinks they are a victim.

 

that was precisely my response when i read the title of this thread :icon_bigg

 

Lets see what the president has to say about this.



But no seriously I'd just laugh it off too.

 

I say, how does my having basic rights diminish yours.

 

they're calling themselves the victims because they can no longer push their beliefs on somebody. Some religions define marriage as between a man and a woman, but marriage doesn't belong to one church or one religion. If your religion forbids same sex marriage, that's perfectly fine, but don't tell others that they can't marry because its against your beliefs.

 

EXACTLY! That's what's I always say.

 

Because they are fucking deluded and don't even know what the fuck hardship is.

I am in the closet, but if I heard someone say this I WOULD FUCKING FLIP. And I think a lot of heterosexuals would flip too. It is just ridiculous

I CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN IT TO YOU BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF HUMANITY I HAVE NO FUCKING COMMONALITY WITH.

I can only see someone ever saying this in a joking manner, and cannot even imagine how someone could say that seriously with a straight face without feeling like a complete fucking moron.

 

I always ask them how we are causing them problems.
Usually the answer is one of the following:
They're scared of the unkown > they can't help thinking about dirty gay sex, which is their problem not ours.

They're misinformed and think churches will be forced to marry gay couples or something similar. Once again their problem.

Because they mistakenly they aren't allowed to be against it. Once again their problem.

Usually it's very easy to correct someone on these misconceptions, were it not that most of these people won't listen to reason.

 

^ That's what I'd do.

 

It's a last ditch effort. Just call them out for it. That means you've won.

 

[SARCASM]I'd prefer to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy... Their argument is infinitely more believable when you're kicking them in the ribs.[/SARCASM]

But seriously, just pure derision is my answer. "I'm the vicitim"... "No, but you are obviously crazy". Religion is the most insidious force in our world today. It has to potential to mislead intelligent people and completely blind stupid ones. F*ck all of it. No "God of love" would condone constantly causing such pain.

Atheistically yours,

Luckily I've never encountered someone saying this. I'd probably laugh at their ignorance and stupidity, then walk away.

Also, this:

 

Bullshit.
