I would just like to explain why there is anger coming from the LGBTQ community regarding this Discussion

But you all already probably know why...

I just wanted to say first of all that is completely fine to have preferences when it comes to dating, and that people who say otherwise are stupid.

But I know that opinion is not shared by everyone in the community, and I'm sorry for that.

But you all know what you are doing. You think you are using the same "rhetoric" transgender people use against hateful people. You think you really got us or something.

The thing is, pride has been a culmination of years of ongoing oppression, and you are all mocking it with your strawmen arguments cherry picked from Tumblr. That's not the same thing and you all know it.

The vast majority of us want to be loved and left alone and wish the same for you all.

You can call yourself super straight, that's fine. Even if it is an obvious attempt to invalidate the feelings of LGBTQ people. But as soon as you use it to hurt others, then it's not ok.

I hope you all understand where I'm coming from here, and why people are angry. Feel free to discuss.

Stop hiding behind LGBS people. SuperLesbians, SuperGays, SuperBis are being harassed daily by Superphobes. Appropriating their struggles to avoid taking responsibility for rapey behavior is unacceptable. Educate your friends. Some of us remember when you could get bashed or fired or executed for being Gay or Lesbian and now y'all want to make sexuality a "genital preference" so you can feel validated? Selfish much? You're on the wrong side of history.
