I know one thing for sure. You have a lot of hate in you and try to release it to people you dont even know, making assumptions and generalisations here and there. For real, you should make peace with yourself. You seem to have some big time issues here trying to be the victim. You attack anyone here trying to reply ith some solid arguments calling names and seeing enemies on everyone. No one here really hates yoy, and most people dont really care about LGBT month or whatever. You came in a game site (the same site you rumble about getting banned CONSTANTLY) to talk politics about a big matter.

Howdy o/
So I'm too lazy right now to read all the comments, so I'll try to keep it short.
Besides the many things people said(that I agree and disagree and so forth), I just have one question: Why should I support an LGBT artist?
Better put, why should I support an artist for being a LGBT? When I see art, I don't ask the artist's biography to decide whether is good or not.
So yeah, here's my two cent.

Wouldnt supporting LGBT's for just being LGBT be not discrimation too? Do you want to be equal or are bunch of you people like feminazis who want only the benefits and not the responsibilities?

I find this even more alarming. Shelters should be for everyone, (though the biggest irony here is the idea that the Trump administration even gives a shit about the homeless of any gender in the first place) and if it's such a problem, then separate shelters for trans should be mandated and funded. Naturally, that is not the ultimate goal, but rather to serve as yet another item of backlash politics to be added to Mike Pence's not-so-secret agenda as he rolls out his master plan to make all of America mirror his beliefs, along with the trans military ban and the all out attack on Roe v Wade. The good news is this will most likely be rolled back in 2020.
On a positive note, Maine outlawed gay conversion therapy this week.

And on another positive note, the WHO just removed being trans as a mental disorder.

Uhm that white house thing even made it to the news of a small country such as ours.
Apparently many decades ago in alot of shelters there in America they would even put everyone like rapists, criminals together with women and children.
But it's not just the states, many governments just don't like to spend alot of money on people that cost money, they want you to provide.
Here they cutting down on mental healthcare alot, and yes that will mean alot of more crazies out there on the streets.

It's still a mystery why he did that - if it was a protest of some sort or not. The lack of information is no doubt why it fell out of the news cycle so quickly.
I'm interested to know where you got your information about putting rapists in women's homeless shelters, reason being homeless women are extremely vulnerable and shelters are supposed to provide some safety from that threat.

I said shelter not women shelter*. late 19th century.
I watch Ghost Adventures (bunch of guys go to "haunted" places) while it can be questioned some parts are scripted, the history of the buildings where they go i assume is just real, and yes offcourse that's a bad combination of people to put together, and led to woman/children being raped or murdered.
There are alot of horrible things in America's past, like an asylum full with children, undressed, 2 people to take care of a whole bunch of them, so many couldn't even walk, all teeth been pulled out if they would bite someone and that got closed somewhere in the eighties (those shelters were from alot earlier but that asylum part shocked me that still happened only 3 decades ago)...after a news reporter investigated it.

You were going back over a hundred years, but you did say decades, so when i searched, I couldn't find anything. Living conditions and treatment of the homeless and the poor in general was appalling during America's so called "gilded age", which eventually gave rise to various rescue missions as well as the Salvation Army (exported from Great Britain around that time). It must have been one of those rescue shelters, but even back then, those were separated by gender. I did find the wiki page for your show, and though there may be some embellishments, the location are real as is the history. But there are so many episodes, i haven't been able to find the ones that you are referring to. As for such things going on decades ago, I'm sorry to tell you they still are.

I don't know when those mentioned shelters got closed could have been 1920, 1950 (then it would be decades) i don't remember (they air like 2-3 episodes each night here, so i saw alot in a short time), on tv at 0:00-2:00 so usually am already half asleep. :p
I think they done 2 episodes in 2 different ones, i also tried to find the episode online (there are some on YouTube), but couldn't find it.
I actually find the history part the most interesting about the show, the host is very self centered (alot of people say that) and instead of actually trying to help a spirit they don't, they just want to see or hear something and move to the next, which is a pity.
Oh yeah i am sure alot of evil crap like that is still going around these days, and not just India, there were news items here about how kids in a russian orphanage got treated very badly, but for some reason you won't easily see these things (anymore) in (west) Europe or America, one can only hope it will go for the whole world some day.

Thanks for looking. Still interested so if you remember please let me know? This is wiki page that I used, so I will probably look again when I have more time.

This other time i was walking on the sidewalk as two ladies approached walking the opposite direction. I moved to the side of the walkway, basically balancing on the curb to give them ample room to pass. Walking side by side, they continued to walk by me. As they did, one of them ran into me and then proceeded to go menopausal on me for it. Obviously she took issue with the fact that I didn't move onto the road for them. As a husband and brother, i don't use the word often but I called this lady a "f&cking cu#t".
The moral of the story is: It's not your sidewalk. I will always make way for single file passage and always ALWAYS for someone in a wheelchair or is otherwise visibly enfeebled or pushing a stroller but I WILL NOT MOVE for your friend/spouse that just HAS to walk beside you.

My lesbian friend read this mess and said it was hate speech and not contributing positively at all and is one of the roadblocks they run into often by those claiming to be of their own because it's against what they stand for.
Just sayin'.

And on a related note:
My son, who is 11, has a female friend of the same age who "identifies" as "pan sexual" whatever the fuck that is.
My only question is, why is an 11 year old "sexually identifying" as anything?
The answer in this case is the need to be identified as something tied in to the need for attention from being a middle child.
This girl has been what would have been known as a "Tomboy" back in my day (and was until her older sister entered high-school) but now with everything that is going on, no one bats an eye about about an 11 year old's sexual identity.
Also, i have a sneaking suspicion that another of my son's friends is one of those "trans kids" by way of his mother, but i cannot confirm this 100%

It's a very delicate subject that maybe shouldn't be discussed here, especially when sharing personal infos. A psychologist would be better suited to deal with this kind of issues.
Comment has been collapsed.
No personal info has been divulged and it is no parent's place to tell another that their child needs psychological help.
Comment has been collapsed.
If she identifies with "pansexual" (or whatever) at such young age there might be other actual issues behind it (or she might just be right about it and that's all). I'm not saying that she NEEDS psychological help, but certainly wouldn't hurt. After all, everyone needs a psychologist in their lifetime sooner or later.

I don't disagree with you on anything you typed generally, but in this case, her outing was during a "getting to know you" type reveal by a third party in front of an audience who came for a musical performance. I have been close enough to this child and the family to truly believe that it is just a need to be identified as something, a cry for attention from someone who got tired of receiving that attention through negativity i.e. being yelled at or punished.
My biggest problem is with parents who say its ok for an 11 year old to have a sexual identity. Curiosity at that age is fine but saying, "i am 11 and i only like boys or girls or pans" is not good for children.
My son and this friend would play with her littlest pet shop toys or barbies and it didn't mean anything to me. But when she asked what she was because she liked trucks and G.I. Joes (neither of which i ever saw her play with and am pretty sure she didn't own) her older sister and mother said without hesitation that she is a tomboy. And i think that the current is an escalation of the former.

This discussion was dead, why comment?
Though, it could be closed instead to prevent such comments from reanimating these.

I originally thought it was him who'd revived it and wondered why someone would do such a thing--but nah--it was the OP back on the first page, making just one very small 1-week late reply for some reason... :P

You know the phrase, "pride is part celebration, part riot." Well at this rate it's just gonna be all riot.
We've been dealing with the commercialization of pride, companies making colorful logos and slogans to sell to the disenfranchised group, tryna convince us that handing the companies that help maintain inequality in the world is helping us. That putting a rainbow flag on their is representation instead of letting the lgbt people they can legally discriminate against hiring create and sell their own products.
Still, that was progress, the fact that we could be visible and openly advertised is better than when we were outlawed and had to be hidden. But we're going back to that. The puritans and the law are not slowly receding to accept our existence, they are pushing back.
With Trump we didn't expect lgbt protections to get any better, maybe even a little worse, but it's gotten a lot worse. lgbt people still aren't a federally protected class, and the federal government is actively fucking trans people. The Military ban was bad, but last week they started on a plan to remove anti trans discrimination from homeless shelters. They literally want us to die on the street when our parents kick us out for being trans, or when we can't work because we can't get proper treatment for disabilities or mental illness.
We aren't gonna riot, but I hope we do. A man immolated himself in front of the white house recently and received so little news coverage. We need to do something big that they can't hide.
I'mma go piss on an amerikkan flag.
Donate to the Trevor project or sumthing
Or support lgbt artists. I recommend Internet gf as I'm listening to her while I write this.
Edit: Sex wasn't the pint, but it's all y'all are focousing in so it's gone.
Also I forgot about the white house tryna remove healthcare protections for trans people also.
