I’m bisexual and even in a progressive state such as Colorado I’ve faced backlash and bigotry, but nothing in comparison to what you experienced on this day or (I’m assuming) in the days following. Please know that you’re seen, your voice is heard, and I’ll be making calls and doing what I can to make sure that you’re not silenced. I’m so sorry that you had to face the ugly, homophobic, arrogant, hateful words and people that you did. I’m so sorry that your City of Minot doesn’t support you just for who you love. Keep your head up, and I hope you stay healthy and happy in the midst of all this mess.♥️

      Hi Juliana! I’m a board member of Magic City Equality, the horrible “special interest group” mentioned in the video 😉 I’ll share your message to her Facebook page. I know she’ll appreciate your words of kindness. Please know you we also stand with you! Unfortunately in this world, hatred and fear of the unknown lives everywhere.. sometimes more in the shadows in places that are more progressive.. sometimes it’s a lot louder like it’s become here. I’m so sorry we still live in a world where even in a places that are more accepting there’s still those people who seek to tear the LGBTQ+ community down. You are loved and you are valid. 💜 And if you would like a bit of good news, as conservative as Minot is, the majority of the feedback in the aftermath of the council meeting has been supportive. Of course, there are still jerks trying to insert their rude opinions, but even those who have always been on the fence because of their religious beliefs or have never really payed attention to LGBTQ+ issues have been like “Whoa.. I had no idea people could be those vile and hateful..” Additionally, a wave of people changed their profile pictures to rainbow flags, businesses began voicing support of the LGBTQ+ community, our local newspaper printed an article giving 100% support to our Mayor, Carrie and Magic City Equality, and Carrie went viral on Tiktok! I might be optimistic, but it gives me hope for the future. :) Stay safe out there in Colorado! My cousin and her wife live out there and love it. 💜

    I am 23 year old, African American, Bisexual man. Tell me why so many People of the two groups I fit into were either. Enslaved, Beaten, Tortured, Killed, Robbed, Falsely convicted, Falsely Jailed, Forced to be "converted", or Forced hospitalization and "treatment". And not a DAMN thing was done about these things for the longest time while under this Mighty Flag. Where was this Unity then???
    The reason why tertiary flags like the LGBTQ+, exist is to honor the long path of struggles and hardships that have been laid
    just to be seen as equal and even now that fight is still on going, just to have it risen barely in the time span of 1 month.
    I live in this country and I love being an american. But all the flag is, is just fabric. It's only as good and solemn and sacred, and open, and accepting as the people beneath it.
    And from the looks of this room, Sadly the american flag are none of those things.

      @sleepcrime 3 года назад +13

      @Gone withthesummer that's not actually true, the etymology of the word homophobia is not what you think it is. The suffix "Phobia" from the Greek word Phobos (meaning simply "aversion) describes an irrational fear in psychology (such as arachnophobia) in physics it describes molecular repulsion (such as hydrophobic) and in casual use it describes a simple dislike or hatred of something. Homophobia comes from the latter category and was coined by tabloid journalists rather than scientists or linguists. Further more, disgust is a learned behavior, and unlike sexual orientation it can be changed and corrected. You can be cured if you put your mind to it 🙂

If you agree with someone's policies and values and support them as a candidate and then they come out as gay or transgender and you now no longer support them, that's unfair and uncalled for.

      @cooperl6489 2 года назад +2

      This is REALLY LATE so I'm sorry 😥, but thanks for showing interest in our city, and I'd be glad to answer your questions about the new recycling program! Garbage collection is a bit different in America (I heard that in the Netherlands you have collective bins? Let me know if this is not true), everyone has a personal trashcan that we put our garbage in. At the end of the week, it's put out to the curb (infrastructure is different here too so nearly everyone has a single-family dwelling sided by a giant road) and a large truck drives by, picks up the trashcan, and empties it into the LARGE bed of the truck. A truck will generally do this for a neighborhood, then dump the trash in a landfill to rot.
      Our recycling program will give every citizen another garbage can, just for recyclables, and a recycling truck will come along the same time as the garbage truck, take the recyclables, and haul them to the recycling center that is currently being built. It is not mandatory for every citizen, but everyone will be defaulted into it and will be required to contact the city council and provide a valid reason for opting out (rather than "I don't want to"). I apologize if any of this comes across as condescending, it is really not my intention and all I mean to do is bridge some cultural differences so it's perhaps easier to understand.
      Also, I agree: Jason is a superstar at getting the recycling program going and getting the city council to accept it! (Though we now have a new mayor with different ideas of what city money will be spent on, so it may be delayed AGAIN). For more information, you could check out THIS city council meeting: ruclips.net/video/Rm5GonE6-tY/видео.html starting at minute 1:35:00

      That's one reason I left the UK. I may not like what they said, but they are free to look like idiots. Making them criminally liable for their stupidity only reenforces their drivel, and elevates them into martyrdom.

    For these people to not understand that their actions and words are the penultimate example of homophobia, hatred and intolerance is just outstanding.

    2:13:52 - Guy calls out the various religions in our country and then adds "If you're for this, you may as well throw it out the window and become an atheist." Y'know, it's a good point, considering how wonderfully diverse our country is, you should be _thankful_ we have strict rules about not favoring one particular religion over the other. Especially because religion was practically the only excuse they had to be there and object to the flag.

    I dont know why they think their beliefs apply here, apparently they missed the part about the separation of church and state.
