Alcohol Does drinking bud light make you a homosexual? A thread

IMO, it's politicians who are publicizing this issue more and making it seem as if it is being shoved into people's face. I was seeing a natural and slower acceptance of LGBTQ until the last few years.

Yeah, corporations don't care if it causes division, but I think the main blame for division lies elsewhere.

For sure. You can still have conversations and people can come to new understandings mutually though. But "changing someone's mind" is a whole other can of worms.

I wish we could take politics out of it but that’s pretty much impossible because there does need to be protections in place and anti discrimination.

Just like I wish we could take money out of politics but that will never happen either. It’s already so corrupt with money and lobbys, pay offs, etc.

I will say that it is strange that the ceo used to work for the CIA. I really feel like the government uses things like this to kinda control the masses. Keep us divided and focused on each other and it keeps our focus off of them.

I just can’t help but wonder how many ppl that would otherwise would have been accepting or at least indifferent had it not been used by companies for a profit or parties for gains. And I think it has created more of a divide if that makes sense when it’s so clearly being used for manipulation to either divide us or increase finances.

I don't see it as political. People are construing it as such needlessly IMO. Just because trans issues are a super hot political topic doesn't mean every single trans person on TV is automatically some political statement.

Anheuser-Busch is ironically one of the largest donors to the GOP, who are now backtracking on their boycott calls.

Are trans people not allowed to be represented as a beer drinker? Why is that inherently a political statement?

Regardless, I don't think corporations should be messing with politics either... alas, we live in an oligarchy capitalist nation. The corporations run this country.

you can try to have the conversation all you want - just don't waste your time getting too upset when it's met with resistance

I think you nailed it. It’s so heavily associated with politics that it makes it hard to differentiate the two. I could get behind this view. Trans people certainly have just as much as a right to representation as a beer drinker as the next. It just “feels” political or overly “manipulative”, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it is…

im done talking to you about it

im just stating things from a subjective standpoint, and you think that's where i stand on the issue and you start coming at me like im the one with the problem and start talking to me about "imperialistic america" because you're a marxist

and marxists don't like it when others have a different opinion than their own - so you're losing your shit over it

don't blame me

:USA:
 
Ya know, it's back to the 70's as far as how many people are smoking pot and doing acid. Now, we are also back to calling libs Marxists or Communists. For a long time, we were labeled terrorists as the insult of the day. Now we are back to commie, pinko, faggots, apparently. Things do come full circle. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. It's like Deja Vu all over again. A stitch in time saves nine.

But he is a Marxist...he's said it himself - I'm not just calling him that

You ppl suck
 
The truth of my experience in general is in modern day political discussions when one person has a different opinion than another they immediately become enemies or a racist or a bigot or a (insert word)phobic.

For example, I am against a bill in my state that would allow kids to get sex changes without their parent’s permission. There is no age limit on the bill and they are titling the bill pro choice or something like that but masquerade if it as an abortion bill when it’s so much more than that. I am against this bill but I am supportive of transpeople yet simply stating I’m against this bill I was immediately called a transphobe and a bigot on Reddit.

All I’m saying here is that we need to have discussions in America that truly seek to understand the other views without letting our emotions rule the conversation. I know it’s hard sometimes but exploring others views and having conversations are the only way that we can make progress.

Report says at least 32 transgender people were killed in the U.S. in 2022

An LGBTQ advocacy group says at least 32 transgender and gender-nonconforming people have been killed in the United States in 2022. The Human Rights Campaign announced the figure in its annual report ahead of this weekend's Transgender Day of Remembrance.

2021 is now the deadliest year on record for transgender people

This year has shattered the record of transgender homicides in a year with 45 to date — most of them Black or Latinx.
www.pbs.org www.pbs.org

Trans murders (at least the counted ones) have dropped from '21 to '22 in USA. Are we gonna go head and just victim blame and say it's their fault for existing as opposed to the bigots that murder them?

32 seems like a relatively low number. How many cis people were murdered in that period?
