Top 10 Things People Get Wrong About the LGBT Community

The Top Ten

  1. We actively despise pedophiles and those who glorify them

    There are unfortunately very bad actors who have infiltrated lgbt and actively engage in this behavior, thus causing the optics and stigmata that lgbt is somehow pro-pedo. A couple of gaming communities I know have had this issue.

  2. Lesbians don't hate men; they're just not sexually attracted to them

  3. Non-binary is real and has existed before Tumblr came into existence

  4. Gender identity and the sex you were born with are in fact two separate things

  5. Being gay isn't a choice; people are born that way

  6. Not all gay men are overly flamboyant and sassy

  7. Not all gay people are left-wing or right-wing; some are centrists or hold no political positions at all

  8. Pride Month is not an attack on heterosexuals and their sexuality; the reason there isn't a "straight month" is because every month can technically qualify as one

  9. Gay people are not going to convert you into becoming gay; they just want their sexuality respected

  10. Gay marriage isn't an attack on heterosexual marriage, nor is it unlawful

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    While bisexuals do prefer both genders, they can have a slight leaning preference toward one gender; this doesn't mean they dislike the other gender

  12. ?

    Trans people aren't going to convert others into being trans

    13. The Contenders

  13. Gay characters existing in television and movies isn't a new concept, considering how Mr. Smithers from The Simpsons and Mr. Garrison from South Park predate modern gay characters

  14. MAPs are not welcomed in the LGBT community and are broadly despised by the vast majority of people in the LGBT community

  15. Catholic priests are ten times more predatory than most gay people are on average

  16. Not all gay men are interested in giving women relationship advice
