seems to be about the Ts rather than about the Ls, Gs, and Bs.
LGBT as an umbrella term has never made any sense to me. One of These Things Is Not Like the Others.

> Books don't tell lies to you That is entirely inaccurate though. There are a LOT of books designed for a goal.
The whole point of my comment is that reading books helps you develop skills where it is a hell of a lot easier to decipher bullshit.

Just one example: Tennessee has recently passed a law banning “male or female impersonators” from performing in public places. Tennessee also does not alter sex on birth certificates for trans people. Arguably this means that Tennessee banned trans people from performing in public in any capacity.

You do know that LGBTQ refers to 5+ different things, right?

For whatever reason liberals always seem to be the ones who withdraw into their bubbles. The problem is this leaves the other side the opportunity to capture various government organizations, like SCOTUS.
I'm not sure conservatives are exactly the social butterflies you make them out to be.
In the late 90's and leading up to the 2000 POTUS race, with few exceptions all of my liberal friends had disconnected from politics. It's always been the case, in my circle of people I know, that conservatives vote more regularly. This is over more than 40 years.

as well as individuals being different to each other. lots of different lesbians, with lots of different ideas, opinions.. everyone is an individual. it's not like one heterosexual is the same as another.

#97As a queer person watching a slew of recent anti-LGBT laws pass, I wish I could have the luxury of just ignoring the news and not caring. Aaron was 20 when he wrote this and it shows.
If you take the time you follow the news now and spend it voluenteering at an LGBT group, do you thing that would do more or less for your cause than watching the news?

#98I also hate the news (and advertisements). The news will never teach you how to think. It will tell you what to think. I love books though. Books don't tell lies to you because you have to think for yourself.
Books can also lie, but at least there is room for truth in them.

#99You could always try rolling around on the ground and kicking your feet. It's really amazing how often that works.
It may be hard to grasp, but reading the news isn't for enjoyment, it's for information (although I have to conceed that modern news is largly information free, but this is exactly because they're trying to make it entertainment).
It's important to understand what's going on in that place called reality. I know its so unpopular! Who even talks about reality on twerk tick anyway?! Let's all just stick to the stuff that involves me, like those choo funny videos of the "set your balls on fire challenge"!
