But it would be nice of more gay people would speak up.

Some time back, on the OG TiA, I once asked another person (who said that they were gay) why, if they were so utterly tired of being lumped in with the headcases currently driving their "community," they didn't get out there and do something about it? His response?

"I'm too busy living my life, I don't have time to let people know that these other people don't represent me."

Okay, fair enough, but then why are you complaining that Joe Public thinks you're a perverted faggot just like those sideshow acts on display at the pride events? I mean, you don't want to take action to counter that perception, so the inevitable consequences are yours to deal with, right?

(He didn't like that much, and whipped out some bullshit rebuttal about how if I'm not a racist, I shouldn't have a problem with taking time out of my life to countermarch against white pride types. Joke's on him, I don't fucking care if someone thinks I'm a racist, or anything else for that matter.)

That guy is a pussy. Simple as that.

I don’t have much time either. I work from 09:00 to 17:30, I have a one hour commute to and from work, and I have livestreams to watch. I still have time to tell people that I don’t like the LGBT movement in person. I can understand hiding your power levels at work so that you don’t get fired, but you can still tell family, friends and the people down at the pub your opinion on the matter.

Honestly, I wouldn't share anything about my personal life at work these days, no matter what it was. Entirely too many people looking for something to be offended about, and you just don't know what will put a burr in someone's ass anymore. Even something as innocuous as mentioning a tabletop RPG could spiral into some "orcs are racist expies of blacks, and you're a white supremacist for that, and I'm going to HR to warn them about you" bullshit.

Mmhmm. It helps that I work in a small firm. We mostly talk about sports and we make jokes. It also helps that I live in Ireland. We are liberal as fuck, but we like taking the piss out of each other, so being easily offended is not an option. But if I lived in California or Canada it would be another story for me entirely.

There was somebody on Reddit I believe who had an NB at work ( in academia ) get on Twitter and back stab him publicly, complaining that his coworker "mansplained" something to him. The commenters advised him to update his resume and act like he had one foot out the door.
