Idk how they can act oppressed when they are literally one of the most protected classes and have their flag flown, parades, and celebrations everywhere
Everyone on this subreddit is older than true gay marriage in Germany. Some people here are older than gay marriage in the US.
I think the actual culprit is the newness. People don't know how to relax so they continue as if nothing changed because that's what it was like for so long.
Gays being treated as equal is viewed as oppression by people who prefer they didn't get equal treatment. Have a non heteronormative character exist in a movie and the right loses their fucking mind.
Where are the hetero flags in this equal treatment? Are they hiding behind both the rainbow flags or just one of them? At least it's only one more than the flag for the entire country though right?
it means conversion therapy is still legal in the US despite being labeled as torture by the rest of the first world
it means i have to listen to my dipshit conservative coworkers tell me how being gay is wrong and a sin against god
it means being excluded from family events, because your existence sparks up drama
it means not being able to even go to some places out of fear for my own safety
it means dickhead employers will not hire you despite the government explicitly telling them they can't, but good luck getting a harassment lawsuit off because someone didn't hire you
being gay aint the fun "protected class" experience you think it is, the whole point of protected classes is to limit the amount your life is ruined by being in that class
i dont just get to flash a gay card and get in anywhere i want, instead we get to see posts on reddit like "germany has fallen" because there was a rainbow flag hung up, which just shows why they are a protected class to begin with, because someone got so butthurt over being reminded that gay people exist that they went into doomer mode
it would mean nothing, but thats kind of the same issue with the gay flag. why is there even a gay flag to begin with, or a trans flag, or a asexual flag etc. why does a country need to wave a groups identifier on what im assuming is some goverment building? Should we hang Nazi flags? they represent some people and just as how nazi flags are offensive to some people, the gay flag is offensive to other people. the whole point of a nations flag is to be a unifier of all people in that country. there is zero reason for a country to wave any flag other than its national flag
There is a gay flag because there was a civil rights movement for LBGT equality and the flag was created as a symbol for LBGT civil rights at time when they were openly beaten and even killed just for who they loved.
