LGBT thoughts?

Question

So I saw an argument on Facebook today. 🙄 I try not to pay any attention to them but this one made me wonder what other people's thoughts are. The argument was that it's strictly LGBT and all the other labels that are surfacing (pansexual, asexual, genderqueer, etc) are just made up things. Someone went as far as to say that the other labels are a "huge laugh" to a large portion of the LGBT community. So what do you all think?

Accepted Answer

Intra-community bigotry is always a fucking setback 😒

Yes those identities are valid.

Answer

I don't think they are made up things, but I do think it's ridiculous that so many people don't want to be labeled but continue to come up with more and more labels. I just read an article that now you can pick from one of 52 different genders... Google that and read through them, now some of those are made up and laughable

Answer

No matter what anyone thinks telling someone their identity is not real is not valid. you know yourself better than anyone else, therefore I think people should be trusted to identify themselves however they please. It's quite childish to not believe something just because yo don't understand it.

Answer

I don't think they're made up. But there are a lot of types of new words even in general coming out for one thing. Confusing to me but whatever.

Answer

Highly disagree. There is a reason the acronym is "LGBTQ*"

It stands for all the other letters as it would be quite the long acronym otherwise. All sexualities are valid.

Answer

I don't understand them so I just don't get into it

Answer

Were the people voicing their opinions apart of the LGBTQ community or just judgmental staight people? And what is gender queer?

Answer

All identities are valid and just because there is 'new' labels doesn't mean they are invalid. There is new labels because people aren't afraid to be themselves and one label doesn't fit everyone. There is more than just liking same-sex, opposite-sex, female & male. Some people like all genders not just female and male so they don't fit straight, gay, bi so pansexual is used to describe attraction to all genders. Some people don't feel any attraction at all so they don't fit straight, gay, bi, pan, demi, or any other sexual/romantic label so they would be aromantic asexual. There is new labels because we need more to fit more people and who these people like if there isn't a label that fits people then we need a new label to fit those people.

Answer

Whoaaa these are all 100% valid labels and aren't anything new... whomever said that completely degraded a whole heck of a lot of people.

Answer

This is not really something you can debate on here. People in these categories exist. You can't debate their existence.
