    You ask what the point is in participating in public anonymous forums, as though there needs to be an approved motivation.

    While there is a small amount of hate mongering towards "LGTBQs" on the forum, most of it is egged on by calling anyone who does not agree with the trendy demand or declared PC correctness of the most radical LGTBQ activists a homophobic bigot and every other name they can think of, often in sneering ways. This invites sneering back.

    I have often stated my view that I do not think "Ts" should be on the same list as LGs nor should Bs - and who knows what "Q" really means anyway.

    We know "Ts". We have even provided personal and significant financial help in the past to individual Ts to get out of abusing family situations. But there also have been conflicts. HOWEVER, I also often rant against the demand that men be allowed to use women's public bathrooms merely because the man says he feels like a woman and overall do not agree that "gender" is solely a frame of mind. To this, there will be ranting messages at me as a homophobe and bigot, when even the term "homophobe" doesn't even apply to "Ts."

    The get-in-your-face attitudes of some LGTBQ activists - often being none of those - also invited furious insults back. Insulting is a two-way street.

    Although not my own viewpoints, a person can oppose SSM, find homosexual sex nasty or sinful, and/or see same sex romantic relationships as bad for society - and that does not make a person a hate monger.

    It also intermixes with other rabid insults. There are THOUSANDS of messages of every possible aggressive insult against Trump supporters, against Christians, against gun owners, and against conservatives - FAR more than against LGTBQs - and those tend to come from those advocating the most far reaching demands for LGTBQ rights and special laws.

    This is the wrong type forum to discuss "cute hair styles, fashion etc." I don't see such topics for heterosexuals on the forum. Do you?

    But I am curious? Please explain how topics of cute hair styles and fashion has ANYTHING to do uniquely to LGTBs?

    On all these forums there is inevitably a catch-all non political informal chat place if you can find someone interested.

    Such topics as hair style and fashion should be in member chat and moderators generally will block hateful messages if the topic is just civil chatting. This particular sub forum is for political talk, not social chatting.

    I normally look for broad and consistent patterns to determine homophobia. We must also remember that specific positions can be said to be homophobic or anti-gay in the sense of promoting a second class narrative or status, without asserting that everyone who holds or promotes one of them is homophobic. Where the line rests between promoting hatred of gays, and promoting an anti-gay view, can be rather ambiguous. I mostly look at how inflammatory and personal the attacks are getting.

    These distinctions get less and less relevant or important if the affect and impact on our lives are exactly the same, and the those promoting the agenda want it to be the same.

    Do I really care if they say they 'love' the sinner, if they are trying to marginalize, demean, or isolate gays while they make the claim. I get real suspicious that they are fooling themselves if they are putting an inordinate amount of interest in it.

    I don't care what homosexuals do in private just that they have now entered the classrooms of our innocent children. What happened to the men of this nation allowing their children to be exposed to any kind of sexual promotions? Much less some of the sickening things being taught to children in elementary schools.
    Glad my kids and grandkids are all grown except one but feel bad for my great grand kids now.
    I wouldn't allow the school to teach sex ed to my kids when it stuck its evil head in the classrooms across this salad bowl of ill repute in early 80s. You had to sign a permission form back then. School should be academics only no politics or agendas.

    Forum topic rules do not specify that topics must be unique to LGBT.

    Obviously there is crossover, on many topics..

    Hence why I think L.G.B.T. topics and issues better reflects this segments needs.

    I guess I'm all confused by this topic. The OP was wondering why there was so much hate on a LGBT form. Well this forum isn't a LGBT form. It is a politics forum that has a topic section for LGBT. Politics in general can get hateful and nasty, then you throw in a hot issue like LGBT then it gets even worse. If the OP wants all nice and fuzzy talk about LBGT, then maybe he should go to a form for LTBG people. If there is bashing there, then the moderators need to address it or remove the posts. As far as this forum "cute hair styles, fashion etc." doesn't belong here. Has nothing to do with politics.

    As far as sex education in schools. I'm also of the belief that schools shouldn't teach it or at least just talk about the reproduction process. Should be taught at home. But then again we know how good some parents are. While I know it is just a movie, but look at Carrie(the mother). That is an over the top example, but there are people like that out there. But there are a lot of parents that don't want to talk about sex with their children. I also agree that gay sex shouldn't be taught in schools.

    Also this is coming from a gay man.

    Only a few oddballs have I seen go on about exterminating LGBT people. Usually the extermination calls are aimed at conservatives.

    I'm of the opinion that schools ought not delve into sex, religion, or politics. Yes, many families choose not to provide any information about sex, and they do so for a reason. They don't simply 'forget'. They elect not to discuss it because they regard it as the private concern of the child's later adult life, and not pertinent to childhood. Since it is the stuff of their independent and private adult lives - it's therefore not in the purview of reasonable parenting.

    There isn't an open public forum online, that doesn't attract, how can I say, the less than enlightened members to a LGBT thread. I deal with it.

    by 'less than enlightened' I take it you mean 'has a different perspective'.

    IMO, it's just a round about way of demonizing talking about gays, because they have to relate any talk to being about sex.
    If you talk about a gay couple, they relate it to sex. If you talk about a straight couple, sex is near the bottom of the thoughts.

    A teacher says they are gay, and that seems to mean to some they are teaching gay sex.

    Illustrated with pictures? Proper positions?
    Or just mentioning there are gay people in the world. Which is likely the case. You mention a gay person, and to small minded, that means you're talking gay sex.

    I'm curious just what they would teach in a gay sex class. That wouldn't be taught in a general sex class.

    A handy? I never heard that term before, and I got quite a chuckle from it.
