  1. @Twentyfirst Imagine thinking that you are wrong. Of course you will say that you might be wrong on other things and why should I change my beliefs. To which I'll agree with you. You change the meaning of the words to justify why you don't like them, which I can respect. Not caring about LGBT issues is different than trying to find reasons to view them as inferior.
  2. @Twentyfirst Your questions have been answered in many different ways. Put in a little effort to understand them.
  3. You're not wrong. You become gay by discovering that you are gay. It's not a normal process.
  4. Actually, it's the opposite. People have an agenda not to accept it, for they have been brainwashed with false ideas about the "strange" people.
  5. How do you feel about being surrounded by losers? Many people here aren't that into having children, from what I have observed.
  6. I can respect that, but you are wrong. You don't have to imagine, because they exist and they are attracted to each other like you would be to the "opposite". From their perspective, they are "opposite" each other. Also, why would you (only) be attracted to a biologically different person? Why do you think being attracted to the same is not desirable for others? Also, biological differences or similarity aren't the only thing that makes you attracted to others.
  7. @Twentyfirst The thing is that you don't have to brainwash yourself to not be straight.
  8. Maybe more conservatives gave up watching Disney content to be opposed to woke, regardless of the quality of the content.
  9. Most clothing stores have a women's section. They are literally divided into two groups: men and women. Why aren't you paranoid? They might have an agenda for destroying men.
  10. Also, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that, from your perspective, they aren't strange. And you don't have to care about survival in order to see them as strange. This is about how you feel towards them, not about survival. Also, why should you care about having babies? If you think deeply, you will see that survival made you think that way. There are straight people who don't care about having babies; are they also inferior? If survival demands that you manipulate people and you start to become aware of its problems, wouldn't you change yourself?
  11. @Twentyfirst You are using survival to justify why it's not normal to be attracted to the same sex or have different experiences of who you are. If you say they are weird, then you would also have to say that you are also weird. They understand that they are different than most people. They just want to be treated humanely. Survival can be brutal. But why not be more just? Isn't it truthful to acknowledge their right to exist? These issues don't have to be unnecessarily mixed together. If some alien civilization attacked humans for not having advanced technology for survival, how would you feel? I bet you would want to acknowledge your existence as a human, right? Or would you go with them, even though they hate you for being a human and treat you like a slave? And they say things like, What a weird creature; they can't survive like us.
  12. If, so then you are confusing different problems and you're using this to invalidate their existence.
  13. @Twentyfirst So, if you don't have a baby, your existence is inferior?
  14. @Twentyfirst Then you would also have to admit that you are strange for being straight. Why should you be like everyone else? Isn't that strange? When they want to be normal like you, they want to be accepted like you. That's what I think the LGBT community is for. It only takes a loving parent to say that they love them, however they are (I don't think that this can solve all of the problems that they have). Even though I know that straight kids aren't appreciated that much, it's way worse for LGBT people.
  15. @Twentyfirst Do you think that the normal people you speak of are pure of heart, wise, intelligent and aren't shoving their "family values" into their kids? Imagine not being accepted for who you are, being compared to murderers, etc., and being gaslighted for being weird. For that, them being the way you described is more justified. They see all of your "questionings" about them as an attack on their existence because you are more comfortable expressing yourself than they are.
  16. The comment section of that video is also interesting.
  17. @thenondualtankie I don't know about others, but I have watched his videos like 5 times a day. So, of course, it had an influence on me. I'm glad that I can speak bluntly. Back then, I would nicely disagree with others that they wouldn't notice it. But I like both of them.
  18. @An young being The whole problem is that how can you respect others if they can't respect you? What if respecting others means the destruction of your life? Do you see how deep this can go? This is the relativity that traditionalists don't understand. Also, what does it mean to not respect? For a traditionalist, not having "traditional values". For that, you will be handled brutally. So, how can you respect them? They will gladly believe without any doubt that they are right and objective. But they are far from being objective. But I also understand that you can't do anything in the beginning or most of the time. So, gaining respect can become a waste of time. Why do I have to live my whole life in order to gain respect? I would eventually devolve into being like them. So, it would be more effective to find other solutions, regardless of my feelings about not being respected.
  19. If it were that simple. It's not easy to keep it as a secret when it has an influence on how you live. The activists are not only there because the government does not accept them. But I agree with you that in Iran, it's more scary. The traditionalists need a slap in the face.
  20. That video instilled fear in me.
  21. @Ramanujan Get an internship. I recommend applying to a company that at least values the mental health of its workers. Build your CV. Create a profile on LinkedIn and start searching for whatever positions you are comfortable with.
  22. I have been searching for resources about it, but I want your advice on how to be careful about the scams. Can you really learn it by using educational platforms like SkillShare, Udemy, etc., or by joining a membership or purchasing immediately from the teachers, or do I have to go to a physical art school? I found so many resources that I feel that I can't be fooled that much, but who knows? I have been observing how they advertise or describe their work.
  23. There are other ways, besides getting a green card, to move to developed countries. E.g., applying for a job and moving there.
  24. Hi. It's nice to know you. Thanks. Recently, the situation has gotten more brutal. I'm not that involved in politics (mostly ignorant of it) or any kind of movement, as it messes people's minds up too fast. Too much groupthink and too little self-reflection.
  25. @Buck Edwards Xenophobia, homophobia, and other good stuff. 😄
