    That one guy who said we didn't need pride parades anymore made me so angry. I live in the deep south and I've never even seen a pride parade. I don't live in constant fear for some priveleged fool to say we don't "need" pride parades anymore.

      Not to mention gays are still getting killed for being gay. And many many many schools are still ultra homophobic. Been to three and all of them had at least an undertone of it

    I really hate it when people say “we don’t need more rights/pride bc we can marry” for all LGBTQ+ people just because gay marriage is legal in the U.S.

      I hate that mentality too. If I'm ok it's ok, never mind that in other parts of the world people are discriminated. As a woman and feminist I feel the same. I might have rights but in a lot of places women are still treated as just someone's property. Standing up for rights needs to be for all not just for yourself

      Annie howell Keep in mind too that a lot of “women’s issues” are also trans issues! Like access to abortions and birth control. I’m non-binary & trans masc, and still very much need access to abortions & birth control (and gyno care, etc). It can be extra hard for AFAB (assigned female at birth) trans folks because we deal with those issues on top of transphobia

      Annie howell Anatomy & gender are two different things, so that oppression is very complex and intersectional. Things are very difficult for cis women & binary trans women- i just wanted to add that feminism often leaves out trans men & non-binary trans folks, even though we’re also discriminated against and harassed because of our gender

    I think the majority of disabled people, at least physically disabled people, I'm unsure in regards to other disabilities as the disability groups I frequent are for physically disabled folks specifically, are pretty anarcho-communist, and I think there is a pretty clear reason why. Many disabled people cannot be productive in a way that capitalism requires for survival, and I think in an authoritarian communist society we would also be required to be productive in similar ways, where as in an anarcho-communist society we would be appreciated regardless of what we can offer and instead be seen as full people. I don't know if this is completely true, but this is what I have gather from my experience. There seems to be a connection between anarcho-communism and disability and I believe its caused by capitalism leaving disabled people to die.

    For the "I prefer masculine men" thing- I think what he meant was that he just couldn't be attracted to someone like that. People who have similar vibes to you and present similarly or act in a "feminine way" just like the that guy- he might see more as a friend- not that he couldn't learn from them or love them- just couldn't be in a relationship with

    When he said he "wants someone who is [his] equal", I read it as "I want someone who is similar to me." That's not really a value judgment per say.

    I find the guy who thinks you aren't born gay interesting. While yes you aren't born sexually attracted to anything or anyone I do believe with how many people say they knew from a really early age even before sexual feelings developed there is a certain degree of being born that way.

    • @ash71168
      @ash71168 3 года назад +2

      I like to say that people are born predisposed to be gay/bi. Babies don't have sexualities so to me saying born that way is a little weird. Most kids don't even start noticing that other genders outside their own exist until at least their toddler years.

    • @Melted-Kuchi-kopi
      @Melted-Kuchi-kopi 3 года назад

      @@ash71168 yes but I've heard of people knowing that something was different about them when they hit toddler years and start becoming friends with other kids. Idk I just think that if toddlers are able to know from a young age that they're different because they feel like a boy (obviously not knowing the word trans yet but ask questions like "am I a boy of girl") it's not crazy to think that they know they're not straight but just don't have words for it yet.

    Having preferences is fine its just pointless to publicize them just cause with no other thought/reasoning. Also you can't let your preferences give you the entitlement to control the way your partner wants to present themselves or as an excuse to make generalizations/discriminate against those who aren't of your preference.

    Is say slightly disagree for the second one because you couldn't know you were gay before you met hot men/women but I do think you were born with the future of being gay you didn't just see it and think "I need to do that" you thought "I see myself in what they are doing"

    When that masc4masc guy spoke up, this is what came to mind: masculinity and femininity are rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, homophobia, transphobia, and the patriarchy. Maybe my ideas are a tiny bit radical, but I think this particular binary system is very oppressive.

    I can’t stop thinking about the pride month question. I think I would’ve placed myself on the disagree somewhat line. Do I think pride month is important? Yes. Do I think LGBT+ people need more representation, visibility and more often than not basic human rights? Absolutely. But is pride month necessary? No. At this point I think of pride month the same as I do about random national holidays. In a way they are important and the tradition behind them matters and maybe what they stand for still is an important part of modern society, but do I think of them as necessary? I don’t. Don’t get me wrong, I am 100% for openly celebrated LGBT+ pride, but I don’t think pride month is the most effective way and or tool to get to what we want and where society needs to be. Rainbow capitalism and to some degree the marketability of pride month have taken away the revolutionary aspects of what it represented and from what I’ve seen in the last ~5 years alone it gets worse every year. I don’t want to see pride month become the Christmas, if you get what I mean

    "A little bit gay" is insulting phrasing and misleading - gay and bi are more oppositional than similar.
    It would be lovely if Pride month could outlive its usefulness, but I fear that will never happen. The "community" as a whole should have an amicable divorce, but someone will always need it.
