    Nobody gives a shit that queer, les, trans, bi, gay people exist. Keep existing! The majority of people simply do…not…really…care one way or the other! You simply latch onto the 1% of people who spew hate your way and use that as an excuse.

    Stop using radical right wing nutjobs as an excuse to act like children on the internet when someone calls you out for being obnoxious about it. And that wasn’t an “informal you”…that was YOU. You “FriendofAlphaba”. Not the grander “you” meaning the LGBT community.

    99.9% of the LGBT community are great people. But you’ve got basically what amounts to the mirror image of Q-tards roaming around in the community basically chastising anyone who doesn’t bow to every opinion they have.

    Fuck you. I don’t care about you. You wanna talk about something productive? Want me to teach you how to use a 3D printer? Want me to teach you how to build PCs? Let’s go, I’ll teach you all about it. YES, even you FriendofElphaba… because I don’t give a flying FUCK what you ARE. I don’t even give a shit if you share a different opinion than me. I’ll still listen. I’ll still teach. IDGAF who you are as a person, that doesn’t concern me.

      You are the problem. The right wing nut jobs are in charge because chucklefucks like you can’t be fucked to give a good goddamn about anything outside of a narrow view in which you’re the goddamned misunderstood oppressed motherfuckers. You’re the “stop making race an issue” crowd. You’re the “women have the same rights as men now and should shut up” crowd.

      I hate to break it to you, and I know you’re not going to hear it. You’re the person Martin Luther King was talking about in his Letter from Birmingham Jail. At the time, there was a “call to unity.” There was a perception that black Americans shouldn’t be protesting. That they should wait for the changes they want to just happen naturally. That if they stopped making such a fuss about equality, it’s just happen. Let me give you some quotes, in case it’s been awhile since you’ve studied it.

      “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly … Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.”

      I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

      You not only have a shallow understanding - your understanding is deliberately shallow and you revel in it as if it gives you some kind of intellectual validity. It does not.

      And the first PC I built myself out of the parts I saved up for was a 286, bitch. The first game I played was on a Bell Labs Vax on an actual teletype using a coupler with a rotary phone.

      It’s okay to be a nerd. We make shitloads of money and people are interested in what we say. You don’t need to be a dickweed.

        Congratulations on being completely out in left field and not even knowing it. The density would rival a black hole. In your effort to be greatly offended, you missed that I said I wish STRAIGHT people would shut up about it too, and missed the mark entirely.

        Wonderful. Congratulations. People are now dumber for having read what you wrote.

      Jesus Christ, you’re delusional if you actually believe that. Just for starters, queer people care a hell of a lot that they exist. Are they nobody to you? And what about the far right? They care a great deal about making queer people either run away, go into hiding, or die. And before you say it, no, I am absolutely not exaggerating or being dramatic. It is very fucking easy to find right wingers taking openly about their desires, and it’s equally easy to find news stories about queer people fleeing their homes are being murdered for being queer.

        If you’re worried about being murdered for being queer, get a gun. Stop advocating for loss of guns and take them up yourselves. Kill these people who are trying to take your life. You have that right.
