This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

There wouldn’t need to be a month dedicated to pride if lgbt people weren’t discriminated against.
I'm just starting what the average person sees.
So it makes it equal because they get a "month". I get it. You probably don't know a lot of these people and i didnt use to either. But when speaking about their life experience, they have been shunned from most friend groups and yeah they all chill with like minded people cause you know there aren't any bigots there.
I get that if you were like me and you really arent a bigot, that it is hard to see the (daily) struggles and think well I dont see any discrimination. But like most people can amend to is that most have more struggles because they are of the lgbtq+ group.
Exactly. Most of us can't really know about it because we don't see it everyday.
All of my LGBTQ friends have a story or another of a scary situation, and I live in a very LGBTQ friendly place.
Saying there's no discrimination against them is either misinformed, or burying your head in the sand.
