Old American Flag

To be honest, as much as I am apolitical and therefore silent a vast amount of the time when it comes to politics, if I had to state where I lie on the political spectrum, you could say I'm in a way an LGBTQ-inclusive Christian conservative.

I live in Texas, but I'm left leaning. Not extremely though.

Wow, a gay conservative. Never thought I'd live to see it

Yeah me too- the biggest problem that conservatives and liberals have is an unwillingness to listen to each other-

The second a conservative expresses distaste for something liberals do or believe in the liberals get mad

And vice versa

It sucks-

Yeah. I'm someone who very strongly dislikes drama, so seeing that kind of stuff really irritates me.

Yesssssss

Honestly you seem pretty cool

Thanks-
A lot of people tend to disagree-

They think all conservatives are bigot assholes-

It’s nice to know that at least a few people will still listen

To me, Conservative doesn't inherently mean homophibic. Are a lot of Conservatives homophobic? Yeah. But not all are. You can like Japanese food but not enjoy sushi. Just because you like a lot of the ideologies of something doesn't mean you support every part of it.

FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS

Wait, am I seriously the first person to understand?

One of Very VERY few

Oh wow- That must suck

Yeah I- I can’t believe there’s not more of me to be honest

I just- ya know I believe everyone has their beliefs and mine just so happen to lean more to the conservative side-

Well, you know most Conservatives aren't exactly down with our kind, right?

Actually my entire immediate family is conservative and we have a lesbian family that we’re close friends with-
My entire friend group also tends to be very conservative but very accepting of gays

They don’t consider themselves Allies or affiliated or anything they just see as being just like being straight 🤷🏼 It’s just another sexuality and if someone feels attraction that way then on a scientific and hormonal level nobody can really stop it

And it’s not our place to-
Like I don’t think I’m special or anything
But I do think I’m equal to straight people
Of course I’m a Christian and I’m well aware of how they feel, but my church doesn’t feel that way. My church says everyone deserves a gentle help and love and compassion (=

What kind of Utopian society you living in? I wanna move there

One where what Jesus said about love thy neighbor reigns supreme 😌

Even people who don’t agree with the gay lifestyle still respect gay people and never go out of their way to cause them any harm or insult them

Whoa, I have never met anyone like this

Yeah that tends to happen- people think that just because they don’t always see something it doesn’t exist and then I get harassed lmao

What about Trans people? Just curious cause I'm trans and have many trans friends and I know some people are fine with gay people but not trans people

well personally I’m Bigender-
I believe it to be a disorder caused by abuse and trauma from a shitty ex that f**ked my perception of myself up-

So I want counseling
But generally- considering it’s caused by many different things and is actually medical on a hormonal level we would say “well it’s just like any other disorder they can’t help it so all we can do is try to help them the best way we can”

Whether it be through counseling or(since we don’t believe in transitioning) respecting them for their differences and loving them regardless of what we might see as right or wrong

I mean, I'm not big on it being called a "disorder", but at least you support it.

Well if you think disorders are bad then me having autism is bad. So by saying that you’re some how completely typical despite being different on a hormonal and mental level, you would be irrational.

DIS (out of)
ORDER
It’s just- different- it’s not as normally ordered
I have autism so I’m just- different
It’s only negative if we let it be

Oh, my bad. I didn't mean for you to be offended. I'm just used to disorder having a negative connotation. Didn't mean to insult you at all. I'm autistic myself.

It’s all about how you view things!! (=

Sorry if one of those comments was a little harsh- I’m not awesome at communication and just realized it may have come off insulting! So I’m sorry

It's okay! I'm not too great at communication either. It's honestly interesting seeing what another person believes in, especially when the person explains it in a calm and polite manner. Wish more people would do that.

So, if someone were to transition, would y'all get upset?

And that’s absolutely fine!!

The goal is to be able to agree to disagree and compromise. That’s what democracy and freedom is all about

True. To me, as long as you aren't harming someone physically/mentally, believe what you want to believe

No- we don’t believe in it
And personally I could never despite knowing what it’s like myself

But we wouldn’t get mad at you
You have your freedom and rights

We’re not gonna take that from you

Respectable. Well, I personally believe a person should be allowed to look however they want (within reason).

I come from what I consider to be the
“Right kind of conservatives”

Yupp- cuz if I’m gay conservatives online harass me like “HWAT THE F**K EWWWWW”
And kids at school will talk shit

But since I’m conservative Christian
All the gays at school hate me and think I’m a bigot
And liberals online cry about my beliefs and scream at me

Only my church and family a close family friends really understand how to respect everyone
My school is brainwashed to think Christianity and America are like-
The end of everything

Man. That sucks. You don't deserve that kind of treatment

🤷🏼 That’s not what the LGBTQ tends to think

We’ve built this idea that we always have to be at war

War is dumb. Let people be people is what I say

I’m conservative moderate and I’m bi

Hurrah! Another queer conservative! Slay, king/queen/royalty, slay!!!!

nearly every other conservative hates u then :/ im sry

Jabeidbeiwbfhdbuebeiebsibbs
YAY
ANOTHER ONE EXISTS

Ima lil bit of both

Understandable

I’m not conservative bc of in Britain how f**les up the conservatives are (look at boris he’s nearly as bad as trump) but in Britain most of our conservative politicians are either homophobic aholes or just plain incompetent, usually both

See? That’s the thing-

I think trump and many conservative leaders were the lesser of two evils and despite how f**ked up trumps attitude was he ran the country like a business and economically he ran it very well-

Sure he was a HUGE asshole and made some- questionable decisions

But when compared with his competitors-
Especially our current president
I believe he was the lesser of two evils because I agree with a lot of what he did. Just not all of it cuz obviously- ya know- he’s not a good guy-

But if I communicate to people that I’m conservative and even remotely supported trump over anyone else I tend to get attacked for that belief- yeah he was f**ked up but I agreed with more of his policies and such than the other options. But when I express that people tend to attack me for that view

I just go Green Party. Idk what trump did other than his disastrous speeches and also the whole fraud thing he had before becoming president, but Boris basically ran Britain into the ground.

what's a liberal and what's a conservative? I actually have no idea what those are.

It’s- hard to explain

They’re American political viewpoints
Conservatives tend to be republicans
Liberals tend to be Democrat
If that helps

They believe in a lot of different policies and laws and have different values politically

okay, sorry, had to go offline for doctors and stuff.

what if you're neither liberal or conservative?

Well typically then you don’t affiliate- most people do this in hopes of preventing hate-

It doesn’t work
If you have a strong political opinion people get mad either way

But it’s understandable if a person actually just believes in both sides and shares some ideals with both sides and doesn’t
