I have never once, in any of my discussions on these topics, devalued or belittled anyone within the LGBT community. To use the term "transgender" as a way to take a swipe at priests tells you everything you need to know about your own perspective regarding that community.
If I approach a conversation with civility—avoiding insults, staying above the fray, and refusing to resort to cheap shots—then I see absolutely no reason why I shouldn't receive that same level of respect in return. To me, it’s a matter of basic principle; I don't believe I deserve anything less than the courtesy I extend to others. At the end of the day, manners aren't some abstract concept you can pick and choose; people simply treat others based on the standard of etiquette they were raised with. 😉
What value does your supposedly refined demeanor actually hold when it’s built on a foundation of lies?
We’ve reached page ten, and yet, not a single person has actually provided a concrete example of LGBT hate speech.
Reading this feels exactly like sitting through one of Folkiše Beobahter's columns.
Look, I gave an example of hate speech directed at others. That was my point, and it ties right into what everyone else is talking about.
The actual title I started with was "Should we condemn the hate speech from LGBT groups and their reps and lobbyists," but then the mods stepped in after someone complained and changed it to "Should we condemn inappropriate statements from LGBT groups and their reps and lobbyists."
Notice how they didn't even bother fixing the core issue with the wording; they just focused on the "polite" version. Seriously, go ahead, use your imagination and try to find where the actual "correction" was needed. 👍
If you're gonna bring up Folkiše Beobahter, maybe mention who actually started the thread first, and then tell me—how exactly am I supposed to be the fascist here? 😍
