Very dishonest actor-y of you. You at least have an opinion of why.

To still answer your question despite you ducking out, Trump is part of the problem, not the problem. His hateful rhetoric and his low-keyed attacks on the LGBT community certainly fuel this. eg Rolling back regulations that protected LGBT people from being discriminated against when seeking healthcare services.

Though I will add I tend to believe rump's anti LGBT moves are probably not his babies, but from people like Pence and his former AG Sessions, he goes along though.

I don't know why. It could be rhetoric from both sides. It could be a reaction to the fact more young people than ever are coming out as LGBT.

Okay, fair nough

People are not put off by a hetero couple expressing their love in public by and large because that's accepted as "normal".

Those polls have to do with equal rights, is that comparable with the GLAAD study?

Just to show that generally, the acceptance isn't on a downward trend.

Do straight people throw their sexual preference at your face often?

To be honest, yes. Everything ranging from Pr's bus stop example to working a 12 hour security shift with a guy who constantly has to comment about every single woman who walks past in a vulgar fashion. And we've all been in a bar next to some guy who is going on and on about the supposed 100+ women he's slept with. I'm like, 'Okay, I get it, you like sex. Now grow up and GTF on with your life.'

Only a hundred plus, amateur! He has no right to bang on about it till he reaches at least 500. 😖hifty:

You responded to a comment about this possibly being cuz they don't like the intrusion and said "I thought that at first, but based on the article" and then provided the examples.

It comes off like you reached one conclusion first and then reached a different one.

I thought at first that like the OP said people were just starting to react negatively to some of the identity politics and posturing of the LGBT community. But based on the questions I would say it goes beyond that to just being uncomfortable with homosexuality in general.

Which has nothing to do with LGBT tolerance. To believe every millennial sees sex as nothing is a big mistake, as many simply don't want to see two lovebirds carry on in front of them, Get a room.
I really tend to doubt that there average young person finds it obscene for people to hold hands ffs. Only way to test it would be to ask the same demo about a guy and girl holding hands, a straight teacher, etc.

Hey, question.

How do you tell someone you don't like them, without insulting them?

Wracking my brain here, it can't be as hard as I'm making it.

Lol. Funny thing is, people who say this type of thing are usually lying. After you hit a certain number you can't be bothered counting any more, but if I'd bothered counting to 100 then I might as well carry on counting. It wouldn't be a vague 100+, it'd be, 118, 130, 162, etc. None of this, 'Oh I've slept with my 100th woman, now I'll just round it down for a while.' nonsense.

Don't disagee at all.

You know, I was thinking, I don't think anyone living in America really cares that I'm huge Japanophile. I can cosplay as Japanese soldiers at airsoft battles, speak the language, watch the anime all I want and nobody really cares because it is not intruding on their own private lives. Likewise, I don't feel hostility from any anti-Jap-ers because I don't provoke them.

However, if I decided to go outside, wave the rising sun flag and scream about how great Japan is in a public area day after day, putting down non-Japanese people and talking about how oppressed Japanese living in America are, I'm sure it'll ruffle a lot of feathers and turn the opinion against weeaboos. Even actual other weeaboos will begin to dislike me because they feel the Americans are associating them with an obnoxious me.

Get the message now?

Actually you're wrong. I'm thoroughly creeped out by your obsession with a culture that doesn't want or accept you. But I keep it to myself cause I'm polite and don't wish to intrude. Though I have to say I feel your open declaration of love for Japan here to be quite an intrusion.

And it's really ironic that you have the imperial flag in your signature and think that's somehow being subtle and subdued

Kurk is trolling Mike.

I’ve actually never met anyone that’s ever went that far. The highest number this guy brag about was 15, and the dude was Brad Pitt handsome.

No, he's trolling with the homophobia.

How can you tell?

How can you tell?

Because he's using street-level homophobic trolling techniques, eg conflating homosexual with pedophilia.

Because he's making silly faulty comparisons eg comparing weeaboos to homosexuals in society. Last time I checked politicians weren't actively trying to take equal rights away from weeaboos, a president didn't try and amend the Constitution to strip marriage equality from weeaboos.

Because it's Kurk.

People use those kinds of arguments all the time. It's not trolling if they mean it.
