Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

two men holding hands

The horror! 😭 The thought alone made three kids in my neighborhood gay and two others are crossdressing right now!

Sometimes I wonder if they imagine every couple shagging or only the gay ones. Seems a little odd to me, are they envious?

I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect that part of it is rooted in misogyny and toxic masculinity. They objectify and disrespect the opposite sex, and they think that's normal and that people of other sexual orientations and genders must do the same.

That's why often their hate is rooted in fear that gay men will sexually harass/insult them, or trans people will deceive them, because that's what they'd do if they were us.

Geez, I'm glad not to fear other people based on who they love.

It turns them on and that scares then.
