    is there a way to take away these guys "lgbt cards". I kinda thought there was a baseline level of tolerance we all were supposed to have for each other due to similar levels of discrimination against us.

    There's no such thing as 'lgbt/race' card. Everyone, I repeat, EVERYONE can be guilty of ANY kind of discrimination, even against their OWN minority. And it counts as racism/homophobia/transphobia no matter how much SJWs try to deny it. Anyone can be a dick and anyone can be a bigot.

    And about the people in this situation, it's absolutely despicable.

    First off......are we surprised? Look at how many in the LGBT community are actually ass hats.

    Second...it just sucks because I wish minorities could just get along, but it's not always how it goes.

    That sucks and all, but remember that buzzfeed has a tendency to clickbait, and may be making it sound worse or completely different from how it actually happened.

    Thanks, Assassin's Kat. You're right, I try to avoid Buzzfeed.

    That said, gay guys from 'the right' hating on trans people seems all too common. Which should make them ashamed. To any gay conservatives here who are nice: I don't mean you. But have a word with these guys and tell them to cut it out.

    *sigh* The LGBT community isn't as tight as people seem to think. I've gotten just as much biphobia from heterosexual people as from homosexual people. On the other hand, I've also had support from conservative muslim clients of mine (I'm a social worker working with refugees). Just goes to show that your background or identity alone don't make you a good or a bad person.

    Though I consider myself Right and am gay, I definitely don't agree with mocking transgender people. There needs to be more of an alliance in the LGBT community, rather than this splitting off into factions I keep hearing about. Considering what many gay people go through, you'd think that they would display empathy and compassion towards these people.

    I didn't notice that Buzzfeed was involved. I try to avoid them. They're so pro-SJW and racist towards white people now that I can hardly stand their videos. I'll err on the side of caution and take these claims with a grain of salt.
