Why the LGBTQ all of sudden so powerful? ( and the other liberals too )

[Ripskater]

They are part of a wider ideology and political aim pushed 'from empire' so to speak. So they receive an unusual amount of support and favor by the system.

The LGBTQ+ stuff was rolled out all over the west in the same manner. So through corporate media, into university programs and grade schools, pride weeks, parades, and so on. It's a top down engineering project.

People facing discrimination have asserted their human rights and the people who don't feel they deserve the same rights as they do have doubled down on the discrimination in an attempt to institutionalize it. And it isn't working. Warning: a few eggs may be broken in the making of this omelet.

Sounds...so succulent. I could go for some bacon and eggs, the Brunch Spot with some toast. Let's hope this omelet is made quickly and fast. Let's get it over with.

Yawn, parrots are boring. Try something that at least can be confused for original.

But the actual civil rights movement started and ended in the 60s right? And I dont think the LGBTQ ever really did not have it nearly as bad as the blacks. They may have been shunned by most individuals in society at the time, but no laws were written to hold them back.

Don't ask don't tell. No marriage so you can't file taxes together with your partner of decades...

we can only hope to live to see that day.

Well, we are already seeing that day with gay men in particular. They are losing their special status, fast.

If you don't atleast put on a dress, you're not getting a medal anymore.

If it was about taxes and legalities then civil unions would be have been fine as a compromise and there would have been very little cultural opposition. It certainly wasn't about that.

I'll conceed because it doesn't change the point homeboy was dead wrong saying laws didn't impact gays

A famous communist professor once said that communism wouldn't come to the USA in the name of workers rights...its would come to America in the name of civil rights...the LGBT is that weapon

They are feasting on their newly-granted power and status.

Once the honeymoon is over, the return to reality will be harsh. You'll be just as unimportant and mundane to the society, as the rest.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

The hard part is when the era of "empowerment" ends, for social groups. Often times, it's followed by a loss of focus and purpose, and eventual stagnation/decline. Clinging onto the "struggle" narrative becomes the way of life, even when the struggle has already ended.

It's still perfectly legal for government or private employers to fire people because they are homosexual.

I don't think the struggle has ended yet.

It's weird how people think that, just because they gained the ability to marry a couple years ago and are now being celebrated by certain segments of society, suddenly they're on equal status and are just trying to insist on a played out victimhood narrative.

Yeah, but your fellow middle-of-the-road centrist @Madmick says that leads to empowering and normalizing pedophilia.

You guys need to address these inconsistencies at next year's convention.

meh, another passing fad with no power because they have no money.
pol parties exist and survive on MONEY.
either bring it to the table or gtfo.
they get some traction as a peripheral distraction for the libs and dems
but are doomed as a pol entity due to personal depravity and communicable
diseases.
great for sound bites, holding up signs where they're not supposed to be, etc.
but they have ZERO power and even the left won't embrace them truly without a
billionaire benefactor.

 

[xcvbn]

It's manufactured. It's fake.

Theres no way in hell that more people care about gay rights, especially transgenders who affect <1% of the pop.), than they do about healthcare and income inequality. Yet you hear much more about the former.

This is why it's obvious the media is in on the fake hysteria- because there's zero chance they make more money by stirring the LGBT pot than they would by acknowledging the nonexistant worker's rights in this country. They could mobilize people by the tens of millions if they spoke about workers rights like they do LGBT rights.

Including pedophiles, amirite?

Maybe adult drug users would work better here?

It's perfectly legal in America for the government or private employers to fire people based on pretty much everything.

I haven't necessarily said that the struggle for LGBT people has ended, but eventually it will. It ended for my people too, who were Karelian evicts. And then came the alcohol, the depression, the loss of community, etc. blah blah. The usual things that happen to people when their "struggle" ends.

Keeping the struggle going is not the answer, though. There's a point where you need to be able to stand back, and stop focusing on your own identity or "group interests" so much, or risk handicapping your progress as a human being.

Tbf the "@Madmick is a right-leaning centrist" story arc has been entertaining.

 

[surrealworlds]

Why do liberals have so much power? Well they are a majority of the nation, that plays a big part.

Does he? I thought he was being ironic there. We have to be very careful to keep their orientation in a separate discussion because it's inherently too harmful, even if that sometimes makes us hypocrites (for example, if it's a real "orientation" which it does seem to be, it can't be treated like other orientations). But I don't think we're in any danger at all of normalizing it.

.... the previous elections vote total.

The vote totals shows they are a minority...majority means there would have to be over 50% of the total POPULATION...and they are not even the majority of voters as if you total up those that voted 3rd party and those that just plain did not want to vote for either the douche or the turd sandwich, they are still a minority.
