In reply to the discussion: The LGBT community used to be thought by many [View all]Smarmie Doofus
(14,498 posts)79. Good grief it's fine.
The lengths to which some people will go to hide behind and USE ( YES, *USE*) their historical marginalization....to change the subject is beginning to make me sick.
Only Jews can have an opinion about the Holocaust.
Only AA s can have an opinion about slavery and racism.
Only LGBT's can have an opinion about homophobia.
I am so sick of this whiny, whimpering, dishonest, manipulative bullshit.
For the record, I'm LGBT and you can use me as a "rhetorical device" any friggin' time you please. AND you are entitled to have an opinion on the topic.... EVEN IF YOU'RE STRAIGHT!
Just make a good argument. (Which you almost always do.)

The straight community used to be full of far more liars even than it has today.

That link goes to a post of your calling me a liar, it's a big circle of you calling me names.

So I took issue with a historic allusion and the words 'a few'. Very sorry, how unsavory of me.

You need to stick to exploiting your own stuff and leave LGBT people out of it.
