Here's mine: https://www.youtube.com/user/spritecoll It's nothing much so I wouldn't bother subscribing really. And I don't upload much considering I can't really record much without my comp lagging.

The thibg with the gay people is that being gay had (and still has) this stigma attached to it, that gay people are different and weird and unnormal, the video focuses on gay people to show that they are no different than anyone else.GhostHawk wrote:The video highlights various gay athletes in sports, however I truly don't see what the point is. If the point is to treat others like human beings, then why focus on gay people?

Of course that's true, but there is still a certain degree of respect that every human deserves, and that is the "respect" they want to achieve. It's not that they want to say "Oh, I'm gay, I need to be celebrated", they just want to live without being discriminated in the first place.GhostHawk wrote:All I believe is that you should not respect/disrespect people for who they are but rather what they do and nothing more.
There's no such thing as reverse racism, it's just racism. Otherwise there would be the implication that racism is exclusively a white position, which as shown through out history, is not the case. People actually are killed for being white whether it be from retaliation to the Trayvon Martin case in the United States or around the world where whites are the minority. Now for heterosexuality it's at a point where it's mostly fringe tumblrettes that are talking about their death.GLuigiX wrote:Edit: As for the #BanBossy thing, I think it's good to encourage girls to stand up for themselves, but trying to ban words is kind of ridiculous.
I know I'm contradicitng myself a bit now, but I think the thing is that we actually need to focus on the fact that there ARE differences, and celebrate these differences. There has been some sort of "reverse racism" against white people and straight-hating and stuff like that, and of course we need to focus on these problems too, but I think the general opinion is, that the "privileged" people had it good long enough and that it's time for the minorities to shine now. It doesn't mean that these problems aren't important, but they haven't reached a level, where they are really serious yet. I mean, you don't really hear about people being killed because they are white and straight, do you?
So how would demanding acceptance eliminate this stigma? You can't force people to accept anything, and trying to is likely to cause further rejection. If the focus were to be on why people come to their conclusion on the LGBT community, it would be irrelevant to go as far as having a support group for every deviation from the cultural norm.GLuigiX wrote:The thibg with the gay people is that being gay had (and still has) this stigma attached to it, that gay people are different and weird and unnormal, the video focuses on gay people to show that they are no different than anyone else.GhostHawk wrote:The video highlights various gay athletes in sports, however I truly don't see what the point is.

Personally I think that, if they do something like this, they should not only focus on the gay people, but also on the other aspects of LGBT+.
As far as I could tell there were one, maybe two transgendered people in the video, and I think the Trans community is getting a bit overshadowed by the gay community. I know many people who have no problem with someone being gay, but get freaked out or make fun of Transgender people.
Doesn't everyone not want to be discriminated against? Again, this isn't unique to the LGBT, as many people face this problem. Instead of treating different people different ways, it would be much more fair to treat everyone with the respect they earn as individuals.GLuigiX wrote: Edit: As for the #BanBossy thing, I think it's good to encourage girls to stand up for themselves, but trying to ban words is kind of ridiculous.
