Have any input on this controversial topic, my peeps?

I like saying I'm all for it. I try not to judge people.. I know some gay people myself..

I am part of it. I am asexual. While I have not been discriminated against persay, but stuff like this; link is very common. And it does sting depending on the tone. I try to take Комментарии like that one as innocence/ignorance like the person doesn't mean anything by it. It's also very common for my grandma (though I Любовь her loads) to try to hook me up with my best guy friend which is hella annoying because I know that it makes him uncomfortable and it almost got to a point where I was ready to cut him out just to make it stop. I often hear "oh you'll want sex once Ты find the right man"/"once Ты have it you'll Любовь in." Like fine I won't write off the possibility but at almost 25 years having never been turned on in my life I really, really, doubt it.
Basically asexuals aren't discriminated against but people don't seem to take it seriously/really try to push Ты to try sex.

I do have full support from my sister, my best friend, my grandpa, and my dad. Brother is indifferent. Mother is sad that she won't have grandkids but she's otherwise accepting. My grandma still loves me all the same, but she is really in hardcore denial/will not stop talking about getting me a boyfriend. I should add that I've never felt romantic inclinations either.

Tbh I don't really care for labels, at least not the convoluted ones that I see so much these days. Simple, clear cut labels do help me relay my sexuality to others though.

I don't harbor resentment towards those who don't. Some people just can't because of religion или perhaps fear of rejection from their own families. It's the ones who go out of their way to make things difficult for ЛГБТ members who need to stfu and piss off.
It really depends on what they're doing. Mostly I just ignore assholes.

This is еще contriversal but I hate ЛГБТ homophobes. By this I mean gays who hate bis for dating same gender and gays who hate ace because, 'lol u guys are just str8's in disguise.' I hate them the most because they have seen the struggles but then go and do the same thing to others.

I don't know how I feel about fluidity. I feel like in terms of transgender, yes. But when people start saying that there are еще than two genders and transgender that's when I get a little iffy. But I'll refer to people as whatever they want because I'm not an asshole.

I think that they are born that way или that it naturally develops. But I don't think that it's a choice. Tbh I'd like to have a sex drive, it would make things easier. But I just don't...

I think one huge thing to help the community is to spread info. And do it peacefully. One of the reasons the ЛГБТ isn't making as much progress is because there is so much aggression and they constantly hate on straights. As an asexual it bothers me to see how much hate there is for straights. I've kind of distanced myself from the ЛГБТ because 1. they've excluded aces so much and 2. I don

I am not apart of the community in the most traditional way because I am straight but I do consider myself an ally of the ЛГБТ community. The ones who are worthy of respect anyways. I've met assholes from within that community and out of it so that's why I clarified.

I support it because quite frankly I believe any decent person deserves rights and unless you're actual scum Ты should be afforded those rights. Even if I was a white,rich,straight male I believe I'd still go for that same mentality because it is the right thing to do.

I feel the people going out of their way to hinder minorities are infants incapable of comprehending that different lifestyles exist and if Ты live and let live they will not interfere with yours generally speaking but unfortunately, the human race fears things which are different. It's innate quite a few people's philosophy. And I find it to be extremely sad.

Yes I would stand up for someone regardless of their creed,sexuality,religion,race,gender или ethnicity.

I hate all homophobes to be honest. They are no different than sexist people and they are no different than racist people. It's just the subject matter isn't on either of those things.

I believe sexuality and gender identity are two different things. And while I do not have the strongest stance on whether sexuality is fluid или not. I comprehend the concept and why it makes sense.

I think it's a mixture of nature and nurture to be honest. Many things can influence people to travel whatever path they choose.

Honestly the only thing I can conceptualize that will help ЛГБТ в общем и целом, общая is probably еще awareness. It's the same for any minority. еще awareness and activism will gradually change society for the better. Outside of that I have no idea. I am not active in any activist community but I do feel that their Просмотры coincide with mine strongly.

Considering Христианство and Ислам are extremely Популярное as religions and there's prejudice everywhere. I'd say there's a monumental amount of adversity ЛГБТ has to go through. It's gotten better because in our день and age. There's many open-minded people. But unfortunately in my honest opinion I feel there's just as many people against them.

I consider myself extremely open-minded but not naive. Being naive is never a good thing. So open-minded with realism inserted in. . To sum my viewpoint in fewer words. I am a Idealistic realist.

As a muslim person there is no such thing in our religion. But for me personally I don't have anything against it I'm perfectly fine with it as long as the person is not being ignorant или dumbass.

Well, I'll be brief. I'm not part of this Community as I'm Straight but I support it myself as well. Everyone has the right to lead they life they want to and be comfortable with their identity. Whatever they do with their private lives is no concern of mine. Who am I или anyone else to judge really? I believe in Equality regardless of one's Sexual Preferences, Upbringing, Beliefs, Gender, Age, Race, Ethnicity, etc. We are all the same, each one of us harboring our own particularities. That is the kind of mindset I have been going with from a very early age. It is not that hard when I myself have been treated negatively just because of being different in certain aspects. I'd say I am as Open-minded as I can be. Always speaking in reasonal terms. Anyone who disregards and persecutes other people's rights gets no respect from me. If I see something wrong, I confront it. No matter the case. I always do my best to understand any situation before making a proper judgement. Concerning Sexuality and Gender Identity, yes, I believe there are two different things and I believe LGBTQIA People make that choice through the course of their lives. I cannot see it as something inbuilt. It's all a matter of one's development and the directions they wish to take. As for Sexuality being fluid, yes and no. I believe that depends. Can't say for sure. Unfortunately, there are those that will always fight against that movement. It is the same with anything different and any change that is trying to be made. Awareness should continue to be spread for now. It might take a while but better one step of a time than none at all. Education can play an important factor for that. Through Knowledge and Experience comes Acceptance and Wisdom !!!!

I am going to use your Вопросы as guidelines here

Where exactly would Ты say that Ты stand? Are Ты a part of the community. Are Ты not?

Yep - well.. Kind of. Honestly I really am not too much for labels and have never been good at figuring out a label that works for me gender или sexuality wise and often don't stress about it as it doesn't matter much to me, but if I were to put the guess, I am somewhere between bi/pansexual and asexual with a preference towards women and I guess agender.

Really in colloquial / joking terms, I'm someone that dates whoever I like, has a very low sex drive that is partially a result of trauma, who has a slight preference for women and doesn't associate with any gender but also doesn't feel uncomfortable with any gender.

I'm very indifferent, but I am pretty "in the box" of LGBTQIA+ group with my sense of identity and relationships and sexual preferences.


If so, have Ты ever experienced any adversity (elaborate if you'd like)? Have Ты ever had the full support of someone in your life (who)?

I honestly don’t really know to be honest. My family hasn’t ever really been for it and I know they are uncomfortable with homosexual relationships или the idea of being trans but they never really particularly were against it. To be honest, they didn’t really pay much attention to anything about me and honestly I never really cared if they approved about what I do или not - like wise with the people in my life. There are probably a good number of cases where they could have been counted as being adverse или negative experiences as a result of my orientation, but I never really registered them.

I think the closest thing to adversity I ever got was when I used to consider myself asexual and my partner at the time didn’t believe it was a thing and made it his goal to have me explore porn and imagine sexual shit so he could make me find that one thing that lit up my sexuality или something and it was super uncomfortable and I hated it. Some of Ты might know a bit еще on the story that makes this a lot darker than what I’m sharing, but publically here that is as much as I’ll go into tbh.

As for full support, technically not? No one really cared about my orientation and I kind of existed in my own world. I didn’t have anyone actively helping me because I never needed it really. I do have people that accept me fully and thats cool XD My fiance accepts my oddities around the way I view myself and what not and thats cool, but with some of the oddities in my life, I feel my LGBTQIA+ orientation is by far not at all an oddity in his eyes
