I was at a pride event last month, and there were two guys spewing religious nonsense over a loudspeaker close enough that you could hear it from the event.

A few of the event supporters were there holding signs and blocking out the scripture duo's hate speech using their own loudspeaker.

At one point, the good guy started asking the religious nut job about why they aren't protesting against priests raping kids.

He kept asking that question until the Jesus freak, clearly irritated, yelled, "because it doesn't matter!"

That's all you have to know about these people.

Anti-LGBT protesters

Is that the "politically correct" term for fascists these days?

I have an idea that could help these protesters. Surprising they never thought of this before, but they could always MIND THEIR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS AND STOP TRYING TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHAT TO DO!

which side do you mean?

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The protesters. Why would the people at the pride celebration need to mind their own business? They’re not hurting anyone.

[–] Koordinator_O@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I meant that both sides tend to not "mind their own business and stopp trying to tell other people what to do" Just yelling here doesnt help anybody. it's the same as when the neigbors dogs bark the whole day and you finaly phased them out and somebody mourns "can those damn dogs shut the up!" and you just hear them again. those posts as the one we're posting on are just giving them fuel. and the same goes for the Trend LGBTQs. I'm not saying everyone is trans or whatever for the attention but there are definitly some who are and those are just as anoying as the anti lgbtq guys. who the fuck cares?

Clearly YOU care enough to write a wall of text about how the people celebrating pride are just as bad as the ones protesting it. If you didn't care, you would stay out of this thread. If you cared for the RIGHT reasons, you'd be decrying the actions of the protesters. Instead you spin this "both sides" nonsense. What you're doing is transparent and hateful.

One side wants to live and love who they want while the other side wants these people to stop existing.

Go away with that shit.

Trans rights or else

[–] Koordinator_O@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like i said. I'm not talking about the ones who just want to live and love who they want and and make no hail out of it. I'm talking about the ones who can't not push it down you throat how awesome it is to be trans lgbtq and so on. those are just as anoying as the dudes in the title post for me. So calm down and no drama dude.

I've never ever seen this and I've only heard it from people doing this "both sides" argument. Where are you seeing this?

[–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

From what I've seen, when they say "pushing it down your throat" what they really mean is "existing while gay". If it isn't hidden, it's apparently being "pushed down your throat".

Also, in the real world, people saying how "awesome it is to be trans lgbtq" are saying how awesome it is to be yourself as someone who is lgbtq. They aren't saying it's awesome compared to not being lgbtq (though one could argue there is value in having different-than-the-majority life experiences). It's just another way to imply that lgbtq people are actively trying to "convert" people to being lgbtq.

Shut the entire fuck up

We need to end all religion in the world.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's not as if leaving religion completely in the hands of right-wingers has led to rather bad outcomes for the left, now has it?
