    A) LGBT is/was fine

    It is. Some people prefer using a different term, and that is also fine.

    B) Yes, at a pride parade most recently of all things. Had to be defended by my two gay room mates.

    Please do elaborate. Did the problem arise because you used your preferred term and somebody corrected you, or the other way around? Because at least in this post it’s been you who has been demanding other people to use your preferred term, not the other way around.

    Don’t deflect. Homey (forget if it was you)

    It wasn’t me, and you could have checked very easily.

    So if you can’t accept that opinion, even if you disagree, it’s short sighted of you

    So, people can either agree with your opinion or be shortsighted? Is there no room for anything else?

    Whether your various queer acquaintances agree with you or not, other queer people like me can disagree, because we are not the Borg. Speaking of consensus, if we have one thing in common it is probably being tired of straight people telling us how to be queer.

      You should really re-read what you’re writing before writing it. The point has now gone over your head three times.

        Or maybe some people have trouble empathizing with marginalized minorities who want representation because they’ve never been in their shoes.

          Most people also have trouble empathizing with people who lash out and get hostile anytime they receive feedback that can be even slightly perceived as criticism.

          If you’re wondering who would ever do such a thing, I encourage you to visit the nearest restroom and look into the large piece of glass hanging above the sink.

            This is how you started, and it didn’t get any better as the conversation continued:

            Nice knee jerk response to valid criticism. It is objectively difficult to support a cause when […] knee jerking shit heads like yourself

            Does that sound like something that “can be even slightly perceived as criticism”? Perhaps there’s some room for improvement. You could try not insulting people if you don’t like people being offended by what you say.
