Yes.

Remember, Just because its legal, doesn't mean it's moral and scientific.

agreed. israeli war crimes should be made illegal, and america shouldn't be giving israel american tax dollars

Israeli war crimes - enabled by Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, perhaps?

what is your point here?

You believe at least one fairy tale; do you believe any more?

yes, i believe you don't have a serious mental illness, which is kind of a fairy tale i hope is true

It's only a war crime if CNN tells you it's bad.

i don't even watch CNN lol. simple google searches reveal a lot of israeli war crimes. CNN loves israel

Israel is to war crimes as white cops are to black criminals with knives

your point is...?

War crimes is magic word used to make a country you don't like as justification for retaliation.
A black guy with a knife getting shot by a white cop defending himself from said black guy with a knife is is used as justification for attacking that white cop.
Loose analogy but I think it gets the job done.

"War crimes is magic word used to make a country you don't like as justification for retaliation"

gee you're pretending i want to declare war on israel. i'm just simply tired of the united states funding a country that abuses foreigners.

"War crimes is magic word"

gee i guess we're not allowed to call out obama or any president for drone strikes or selling out to lockheed martin anymore, are we?

a control of foreigners that abuses its native population*

Yes! We're ALL equal.

See, totally inclusive. I'm sure there's probably a P or 2 in that mile long acronym of theirs.

Not yet ;)

97% of pedophiles are heterosexual. I repeat, 97% OF PEDOPHILES ARE HETEROSEXUAL.

So if you're mostly not gay, then you don't get to be in the acronym club?
Doesn't anyone remember there being an S for Straight being in there?
What if you're bi but like only do gay stuff 49% of the time?
So many questions! fascinating how exclusionary some groups can be.

(TW: MENTIONS P3D0PHIL3S) I'm not sure what this is from, or what it means, but I'm almost sure it's from a commercial talking about LGBTQ+ rights, and the person who made the "meme" was making it so that it seemed like the person was talking about p3d0phil3s (meme is in quotation marks because it's not funny). And please use a trigger warning before talking about p3dophil3s, because it could trigger someone's anxiety, PTSD, etc. Anyway, p3d0phil3s are not at ALL a part of the LGBTQ community. The rumor that pedophiles are in the LGBTQ+ community was most likely started by homophobic cishet people (cishet people are people who are cisgender and straight). Everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is against p3dophil3s. I haven't done much research, but I don't think that anyone in the LGBTQ community has done anything to promote p3dopheli@. Saying that gay people are p3d0phil3s was most likely just an act of homophobia. Please don't refer to gay people as p3dophil3s, especially because there are so many young gay people (or people in the LGBTQ community in general). Don't raise KIDS to think that their feelings are a sign of p3dopheli@. I also made another comment on this post that explained why LGBTQ people don't have more rights than straight people and why homosexuality and being transgender are natural. Anyways, I hope you know more than you did before, and if this "meme" (again, in quotation marks) was NOT against the LGBTQ community, I'm very sorry. I have nothing against you and I don't mean to hate on you or make you uncomfortable. I am honestly just here to make cute memes and educate people. I hope you learned something, and I hope you have a nice day!

And No BLM organization does not matter.

i see what you did there

Same sex marriage only became legal in 2015. Until June, in many States it was completely legal to fire someone on the basis of them being LGBTQ+. Hungary has redefined "family" in their constitution, effectively banning gay adoption. I have friends who have come out of the closet to me because they're afraid of telling other people. Next time you make a claim try to use all two of your brain cells.

I disagree where I live LGTBQ+ just got there rights tooken away.So they cant adopt cant get married ect.

What state is that? They just got the right to marry within the last 10 years in most states.

what state? i live in a pretty LGBTQ+ friendly state and if there are any petitions to sign so that their rights are given back i will sign it!

the supreme court recently had to strike down discrimination that prevented lgbt individuals from gaining employment

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/15/863498848/supreme-court-delivers-major-victory-to-lgbtq-employees

I'm 100% sure whatever actually happened wasn't infringing on anyone's actual rights.

yeah... only the right to get employment

"wasn't infringing on anyone's actual rights"

that only works if lgbt people are seen as lesser individuals

With children still in the womb being lesser individuals I suppose it's only fare.

With pregnant women being lesser individuals than the fetus, I suppose it's only fare.

hey guys, abortion exists so gay people can't have jobs. that makes no sense

Hey I don't make the rules. I just complain about them.

"And the shade never made anyone less GAY :DD"

#LBTQ SUPPORT

Whether they did or did not have the right to do that, the media would literally kill anyone who would do that.

That ruling was a win for all of us. Just because progress took a while doesn't mean it shouldn't be celebrated, and trying to paint all conservatives as believing individual rights shouldn't be respected is just laughably wrong.

Some right wingers are anti-gay civil rights, but they're not conservative.

Anyone who claims to be conservative and yet supports positions that contradict current conservative values (retainment of individual rights, smaller government, etc) cannot, by definition, be conservative. There are right-wingers who are vehemently opposed to gay civil rights, or the Catholic Church, or Islam, but in order to enforce their views they'd need larger government powers that would come into force at the expense of individual liberties. They hold positions commonly considered right wing (right wing, after all, means the position is 'old guard' or was a norm), but not conservative (generally opposed to larger government and in favor of civil liberties i.e right to freely express one's religious or sexual beliefs).

No, their ability to enforce views is not the point; it's how far they'd GO to enforce their views. A true American conservative generally believes in interfering with others' lives as little as possible. This is why Libertarians tend to support many issues commonly considered 'liberal' (such as private drug usage, minimal restrictions on personal choices, etc).

Many conservatives believe one thing about LGBTQ+ folks, but the only people I've ever seen calling for them to be suppressed in the civil sphere (removing rights, etc) are Neo-Nazi types. Like I said before, a current American conservative would argue that they have a right to disagree with someone, but not a right to enforce that view, because that would in turn infringe upon the right of that someone to hold their own views.

Now, if you put us back into the late 19th century, then the Republicans would be the liberal left-wing progressives, and the Democrats the conservative right-wingers, so chronological context is VERY important when discerning what's 'conservative/liberal' or 'left wing/right wing'.

I'd say they have more rights then normal people.

(TW: MENTIONS HOMOPHOBIA, ABUSE, AND THE DEATH PENALTY) No, LGBTQ people don't have more rights than "normal people". In other countries, it is illegal to be LGBTQ+. (This is a link to a website that shows some of these places: https://www.humandignitytrust.org/lgbt-the-law/map-of-criminalisation/). In some of those places, LGBTQ+ people can be imprisoned for their entire lives. And in other places, LGBTQ+ people can have a death sentence. In most places in America, same-sex marriage wasn't legalized until the late 2000s or early 2010s. People who are a part of the LGBTQ community experience homophobia/transphobia daily, including emotional and physical abuse. Also, calling cishet people (people who are cisgender and straight) "normal" is extremely rude, and honestly, it's wrong. Homosexuality has been seen in so many different animal species. Homosexuality is extremely normal. And transgender people have been around for so long, even since the Greek times (I'm not sure what to call that time period, sorry). It was said that Apollo had gotten drunk and accidentally gave people the wrong body parts. This, of course, is referring to the fact that transgender people were born with the wrong body. Don't even get me started on the fact that most insurances don't cover top and bottom surgeries (these surgeries help a transgender get the 'right' body, like removing a trans man's breasts). Anyway, I hope you learned a little, and if I got some information wrong, don't hesitate to tell me about it (unless you're denying the existence of LGBTQ+ people's struggles, then you can please just stop typing, you all have the same arguments). I encourage you to do some research of your own! I'm not trying to make you angry or to hate on you at all, I'm just trying to educate you. Have a good day!

Greatest comment of all time. You are a legend.

Take Russia, for instance: https://www.outsports.com/2020/10/1/21496837/russia-arctic-games-lgbt-rights

The right to get dragged to death behind a car for being trans, the right to get refused shelter from a blizzard for being trans, the right to be denied marriage and survivor's rights, the right to be denied employment i.e. making money for food and housing. Sure. They have more rights. The question is: more rights than who??

I hope you get falsely accused of rape. That'll teach you who has more rights.
