(no this doesn't mean i hate all of lgbtq, just the people who do some stuff like this/are these things)

1: what are you referring to specifically?
2: that's not just queer ppl that's fandom culture darling, get with it
3: so is every community ever? You are unlikely to find a community that is 100% wholesome all the time, there's always going to be some toxic people, whether you like it or not
4: What are you referring to specifically?
5: NOT PART OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY!! Pedophiles and Zoophiles *can* be queer, but they are NOT welcome in any lgbt spaces, and are not recognized in the wider community.
6: again, just fandom culture, babe. I don't agree with it, but that's not a blanket lgbt statement, it is a thing some random shippers do sometimes. See #3 and #2
7: what

for 5, what are THESE??? i don't want them in the community, but they still get respect somehow

They're fake flags, like dreamsexual.

well some people took them seriously

Those psychos only get respect from other psychos. And they made flags bc they wanted to guilt people into letting them in, but in reality they just gave actual LGBTQ+ individuals a bad rap.
And in the last one about some people saying their gay when they aren't, I feel that. Is too easy to lie online.

all too true

1. My friend (he's autistic and trans and gay) says that those are typically used by autistic ppl
2. Literally just fandoms in genral
3. fair point
4. Thats called personality. people can be assholes
5. Not valid
6. Fandom culture
7. idk what to say lol

1 if they do that they are most likely just making fun of us
2 agreed
3 yeah but everyone does that
4 yeah idk what happened there but we aren't all like that
5 not part of us
6 agreed
7?

What is 7

i mean like some people in the community aren't lgbtq at all.

Like anime sexual or something

Those people suck

fr.

Also not part of LGBTQ

5 is not part of the LGBTQ community, the very idea that they are part of it was created by homophobes. We don't support that practice of any kind

Third and second to last are not LGBTQ
Idk what you mean by some of the other points and some of your points just kinda apply to humanity online as a whole

fr tho

U got a good point tho

1: Weird? Tell me more. Like, pedophile weird? If that's what you mean, that isn't a part of LGBTQ+ at all. If you're talking about less common genders or sexualities, then that shouldn't be a problem. Rarity has nothing to do with worth or whether or not you accept somebody. Everyone is valid, unless they're zoophiles, pedos, etc.

2: Hon, that isn't just LGBTQ+. Every single community out there has weird ships. They're fictional characters and there's no harm in shipping them, even if it is a bit strange.

3: Everybody has a potential for being toxic. It's not a thing specific to queer people. Queer people can be toxic, I'm not saying we're saints or anything, but labeling it as something specific to members of LGBTQ+ is a hurtful assumption. If you've had bad experiences, that's due to a person, not their gender or sexuality.

4: Again, that is not something specific to queers. Don't slap labels on us because of certain people. Also, assuming the worst may be associated with having valid reasons. A lot of us have been burned, and it's safer for our mental and sometimes physical health to assume someone is homophobic before opening up about things. Just be patient and don't take things the wrong way until you have confirmation about their intentions.

5: I've explained this a lot before, so I'll try to keep it brief. Pedophiles, zoophiles, and other repulsive and predatory sexualities are not a valid part of, nor will ever be a valid part of the community. They have been associated with us and now are used as a label for the entire queer community. I've been called a pedophile on multiple occasions. I am very against pedophilia, but the association has been creating more and more homophobes as well as community hate. It needs to stop.

6: Again, refer to #2. Everywhere has this type of ship. Not LGBTQ+ exclusive.

7: Um, what? I get that there are some straight allies that question and think they're queer, but turn out to be straight. That happens. But you think half of the community is just faking it for attention/confused? I'd love to hear more about why you think this. Most people in the community are legitimately queer.
