As long as there is a "Gay and Lesbian" section on Netflix, as long as there is a national Gay day, as long as gays separate themselves from the rest of the world, they will never be treated the same. Want to be equal? Stop discriminating against yourselves.

Right?! Also like why is there black history month and no white history month? These minorities should stop segregating themselves if they want to be equal!

Or let them be equal? Allow them to have the same rights as you and anyone else. Let them marry who they love, because they love that person and that should be enough. If you're sick of National Gay Day and everything else, then let them be the same as you and take away their reason to have it. Equality isn't something that should be earned or wanted, equality is a right reserved for all humans because we're all human.

I'm encouraging correct equality. They should have the same rights! Isn't it freaking obvious? But they hold themselves back with things like that.

When there's a pride parade for me and my boyfriend then we can talk equality.

Just another side-effect of a dieing empire. Happened in the Roman Empire before their empire collapsed.

If you use that card then it is only hurting yourself. You are almost saying we are inferior so we deserve to be seen that way and treated in a higher manner.

The reason we have "Gay Pride parades" and "Black History Month" is so that persecuted minorities can feel a sense of community and belonging. Also, it brings much-deserved attention to the flawed social and political causes that we need to address in our society. So why is there Black History Month but no White History Month?? Because 11 months out of the year it IS White History Month. Because although we no longer have segregated schools or bathrooms, we still have a segregated mindset when it comes to minorities. The proof is literally everywhere. Just look at any magazine and see how even the black models are photoshopped to be lighter. Us straight white people are the majority who most likely have never been persecuted for how we look or who we love when we are born. Trust me, the gays aren't getting any special privileges over straight people. Sorry for the long response, I hope I got my point across haha.

Really? Because in mine eyes I see all humans as the same. We deserve the same. I guess in a twisted liberal mindset, continuing discrimination is a reward? My conservative beliefs show every human being is equal and deserves the same. So why treat them differently? That's wrong.
God loves everyone equally, gay, black, white, no matter what religion. So why separate humans when God doesn't?

It has nothing to do with conservative or liberal biases, it is an issue that is so deeply ingrained in our culture that we aren't even aware of it due to our privilege! Our culture and media are exposing children from birth that if they aren't straight and white, then they are "bad" and "ugly" and "lesser than" and "ashamed." Watch this video (it's 9 minutes long, but you really only have to watch the first 2 minutes to get the point) and then tell me how cultural appreciation days/months and pride parades are "discriminatory."

I don't want to get into any political conversations but thanks C for saying exactly what I was thinking. These people just want equal rights, not an equal lifestyle

Some straight people are a little bit slow on understanding certain thinks and instead of trying to figure out why they try to pass of their ignorant feelings as fact and truth. Then they all agree with each other like it made sense.

"Straight" can be substituted for "white" but let me not rally ya'll up.

I don't like the second quote but I agree that we shouldn't segregate ourselves if we want to be part of society's standards. Make gay acceptable. Wouldn't you want to live in the Roman days where it was okay to illicit sexual activities with the same sex?
