If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They're people, just like everyone else, and I'm sure there's some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they're just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.

I consider myself an ally, and I'll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats... It doesn't matter.

IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.

My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.
