Recently, someone said to me that I shouldn’t publicly share that I support #LGBTQ plus causes, because it might “make me look bad”.

That’s bull crap. Now I’m just gonna support the LGBTQ community •••EVEN HARDER•••!

If someone has a problem with this I'd consider that a case of the trash taking itself out.

@Hakuso Absolutely.

@scottwilson bad how? like a person with a FUNCTIONING HEART AND SOUL? If that's wrong then I don't wanna be right.

@scottwilson Someone told me that one time too. I'm like "bro, you know I'm gay right?" WHAT?! YOU CAN'T BE! Well...I am. So.....go fuck yourself.

Looking bad to bigots is always the best way to look.

@scottwilson did you tell them that not openly supporting queer and other disadvantaged minority groups makes them look even worse?

@alice @scottwilson I mean, I make myself look bad all the time. I can do that just fine without being an arsehole.

I came here to say exactly this.
"Really, you shouldn't go around telling people to shut up about being an ally - have you ANY IDEA HOW BAD THAT MAKES *YOU* LOOK?!?"

@alice I had a few choice sentiments that I shared, and let them know that I was disappointed in them. 😃

@scottwilson If being queer and supporting queer people is gonna get me sent to hell can I push the gay button any harder? 🤣

@danni_storm @scottwilson if there is a hell and all queer people get sent there it must be a pretty rad place to be.

@scottwilson you know who looks bad, the person who says that to another person. They are absolutely showing you who they are...

@scottwilson I don't understand -- how could being nice to human beings "make you look bad" ?

I think that statement made the person who said that, whoever it is, be the person who looks bad, and you sir are far too kind a human being for not publicly naming and shaming them 🙂

Supporting marginalized groups certainly isn't a bad look but...

For whoever said that to you, it sure as hell makes them look like a reprehensible troglodyte...

@scottwilson "the only reason you would think that it's bad to support LGBTQ people is if you think that being LGBTQ is bad. Is that what you're saying? That you're a homophobe?"

@scottwilson who said that to you? as you know, that decision made them look bad and now they have some feedback coming their way.

@scottwilson Well said! I don't like being told what to do, and I like even less being told to marginalise people because someone else has a prejudice problem.

I was brought up (by a WW2 veteran) to look at someone's ideas and their ability to be kind (even when they had the option to NOT be kind). By their self-knowledge. My best friend at school was German, and Dad didn't even mention the fact.

I tend to take these things for granted, and sometimes I forget that there are so many narrow-minded dinosaurs roaming the Earth. It takes so much time, but we'll get there.

@scottwilson LOL yeah showing support for people to give expression to their identity and personality makes one look "bad"? Like... HOW? Whoever said that needs their head examined. There may be a gremlin in there suffocating their brain cell.
