When in fact, harassment and singling people out because of their sexual orientation is already illegal

Rape is also illegal

Yes and sadly it still happens.

Laws don't mean much

And people are stupid.

Do you think they don't realize rape is illegal?

Or do you think if they're reminded of it they'll be like "ohh, it's bad? Well dammn. I'm so sorry I brutally raped someone"

No, but we can stop acting like it's a small isolated thing

Nobody should be attacked for being who they are. But when it's already against the law and everyone knows harassment and violence is wrong, all we can do is be aware and be ready to go after them legally and speak out

?

But to act like it's some crisis everywhere, when in many places it just doesn't happen,

That's the part that annoys me

"Nobody should be attacked for being who they are" lol

It does in most parts of the US

I live in Ohio

ayyyyyyye Ohio

And overall atleast in the US, this discussion isn't hurting anyone

Yeah but too many of these "discussions" act like these issues are all horrible and the same everywhere you go, and it becomes fear mongering

Sorta like when you got the African American community claiming they're so afraid of cops because a black person got shot in some city that's almost all the way across the country

people are just creating unreal viewpoints of the country.

Well a lot of these problems are glossed over in the mainstream media

And made to seem like isolated cases

It's a problem with society that now is finally starting to be fixed

well there isn't exactly some major movement in this country to shoot down all blacks and beat all gays

It doesn't have to be a movement

Terrorism isn't a major movement but see how much damage it does

uhm.

hate to break it to you butttt....

it kinda is?

lol..

It isn't, it's a load of individuals and groups

Like how there's both anti lgbt groups and many individuals who make it hell for people like me

"Well a lot of these problems are glossed over in the mainstream media" And media invents other issues

Yeah, because the media is shit

and most of the country is against anti-lgbt groups who cause violence.

no

Lol

but saying "F**s go to Hell" isn't violence.

According to the media, America adores all the LGBT cancer

I meant the mainstream media

I know
