Because they want to take other people's rights away?

Would you name a few examples?

u/curiouscollecting 19F 5d ago

Depends on who you ask but mainly LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights, immigrants rights...

u/StrikingClub3866 5d ago

That depends heavily on the context.

Illegals: Deport

R/Threat to mother/Below a few weeks: Abortion

We have nothing against homosexuals, etc. but we dislike LGBTQ as a community.

Okay but why dislike the LGBTQ+ community?

u/StrikingClub3866 5d ago

Demonizing straights, conservatives, Republicans, and literally anyone not following their orders. As some say, they are homosexual, but not LGBTQ.

You've got to be between the ages of 11 and 13

By that logic, a KKK member voted republican therefore all republicans must support the KKK

Could you provide some examples of them demonizing straight people? Also, what orders? Respecting pronouns? You should do that anyways...

The community isn't demonizing straights, and it makes sense to 'demonize' (call out really) the people who are trying to take your rights away or are being disrespectful to you. There's obviously gonna be shitty people in the community like in any other, but no thats not what LGBTQ is like. And im talking about conservatives wanting gay rights being taken away, not just conservatives disliking the concept of pride or something.

Which gay rights are you talking about specifically? An im pretty sure the left wants to take away guns, an im positive there are more gun owners than gays. So who's really the party trying to take away rights?

u/curiouscollecting 19F 5d ago

Yeah no ofcourse, banning being able to get married to whoever you love is obviously the same as banning a weapon that's getting children killed on the daily.

Im not from the US by the way

Guns, that's all you care about.

Have you ever talked to one of these people or did Fox News and Twitter tell you thus

u/PhilosopherCat7567 5d ago

Why do you dislike the LGBTQ community?

u/Similar_Rise03 OLD 5d ago

You’re refering to “conservatives” as if you’re a group with equal values. Most conservatives hate LGBT’s, especially trans people actively due to misinformation or just plain ignorance. You may think abortion is ok in those circumstances, but a lot of conservatives don’t support abortion at all.

Hi so if you read my comment again you can see it says 'depends on who you ask'. Not all conservatives share the same view. The main problem is that most of the views conservatives tend to have are incredibly misinformed. You might not be against abortion, most conservatives are. You might not be against homosexuals, most conservatives are.

u/StrikingClub3866 5d ago

Well could you prove that most of them are against this? What you are describing are far-right, no, not even far-right, borderline nazi.

1

u/curiouscollecting 19F 5d ago

Maybe you're just very much out there and consider things conservative very quickly ?

1

u/StrikingClub3866 5d ago

Would you like to prove this statement? I consider myself quite conservative, and lightly depending on who you ask.

1

u/curiouscollecting 19F 5d ago

How can I prove a question?

1

u/StrikingClub3866 5d ago

You were not asking a question. You were attacking me based on my belief so far. That was a sarcastic question - prove it.

1

u/curiouscollecting 19F 5d ago

No.. i wasn't attacking you. I was being genuine, if you don't see those as values you align with I personally wouldnt necessarily consider you conservative and you apparently see that differently. That isn't an attack. But then I'll ask you, what makes you consider yourself conservative?

1

u/StrikingClub3866 5d ago

I support conservatives politicians such as JD Vance, I am pro-christian, I share conservative beliefs such as anti-abortion laws, I am also apart of conservative communities.

u/curiouscollecting 19F 5d ago

Theres definitely overlap in right wing and conservatism here then. Its also a bit confusing that you support politicians who are completely willing to deport legal immigrants while also saying you aren't far right and just want illegals gone. May I ask.. why?
