The point isn't to belittle or minimize discrimination against LGBT people. The point is to try to get someone who presumably supports LGBT rights to understand how it comes across to still make prejudiced remarks against other groups of people by comparing it to another well-worn and offensive stereotype.
- Forgeties79 2y agoIt may not have been the point of your comment but it was the result regardless. It’s a really poor comparison that, intentionally or not, minimizes the LGBT experience. The (yes incorrect) perception that the militarily is overwhelmingly conservative/republican doesn’t have some massively outsized (often negative) impact on your life akin to being queer in the US.
