I liked this video, and I'm glad that it isn't "one of *those* videos" that only focus on one thing when they refer to diversity. I also appreciate that you covered multiple cases and became more general instead of focusing on a specific thing (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc). When you reach as wide of an audience as possible, it helps bring a mutual agreement among different communities to focus on the benefits of humanity more than trying to attain more money, attain more popularity, or exclusively do things for personal gain.

Presentation seems a bit strange to me, aside from that. Seems pretty sound, aside from the multi gender part.
I certainly don’t believe these guys should be discriminated against, as it’s evident many if not most of them don’t even want to have the problem.
Although it shouldn’t be promoted as something just as great as a normal relationship.
Especially, to not promote it to children above all else.
We definitely need to start thinking more logically about the plight of the homosexual.
It is certainly unrealistic to pretend like it is equally valid as a marriage.
The same psychological principles that apply to a balanced system of a man and woman do not apply to two of the same. That is to say, an unbalanced one.
At the same time, it is likewise unwise to tell them that they’re all perverts.
And while true, such do reside among their ranks; such a strategy will go nowhere. And they will not be able to receive the help they need.
Ultimately, what is most blatantly illogical is to claim they should adopt.
Children should absolutely never be put in such an unbalanced scenario.
There’s a reason why fatherless homes yield criminals at 5x the rate of a balanced family.

I believe the vast majority of the video is good, although I slightly agree with you. I am one of the people that personally believe there are only 2 genders and the rest aren't quite classifiable as genders (since they're based on feelings rather than biology). I will also say that I believe homosexuality is being normalized a bit too much. Sure we can respect everyone for their personal feelings, but its being promoted a tad much. A lot of the American flags and posters in my school have pretty much all been replaced with rainbow flags. I don't nessesarily think that's a terrible thing, but I feel like rainbow flags should be put along side other flags rather than standing alone in prominence.
It's become a new era. Now at this point people can identify as neogenders (cats and dogs) and different genders created seemingly out of the blue. I think the word "gender" has lost its meaning significantly, and I don't really see that as a good thing.
Either way, I'm not against gay people or anything like that, but I think it can be managed better to be less overwhelming. I think that we've done enough to where this can be equilized with other movements, since there are no legal prohibitions that prevent gay people from, say, marriage. The only issue now is hate crimes and individual cases of unemployment and direct hatred, which can't really be solved unless you put down the opinions of those who oppose them, which is (in my mind) 10 times worse.

Gender is a cultural construct. You mean there are two *sexes*. Sex and gender aren't interchangeable terms.
