He "proved" a by pointing out how we are visible and how women have rights
Sounds like he just has brainrot then, and no amount of factual evidence could persuade him otherwise. Whether someone is "visible" or "has rights" isn't even the discussion. There are clearly harsh inequities between straight cis people and LGBTQIA people, just as there are harsh inequities between men and women.
It's like trying to persuade someone that we need oxygen to survive, and having them respond by saying they don't believe in the existence of oxygen. You can't really have a discussion with such a person. Personally, I'd rather be lonely than be friends with someone as exhausting as that.
I'm just sad because all this happened so suddenly. Now I'm just lonely. Down to 1 accepting friend and 2 who I don't know their stance but its prolly not great. I'm sorry I really just need to vent
I know the feeling, but you deserve friends who will accept you, and I'm sure you'll find some.
It sucks, but I'm my experience, the faster you cut these people from your life, the faster you will make genuine connections.
Imagine if you brought this friend around the queer community. Nobody would risk being your friend because you are connected with this asshole.
Cut him out. Make new connections. Move on. Be happy.
I already cut him off. I hope i find some queer communities in my area. Place is full of church shit and nothing else
Maybe check FetLife for local kink munches. They are queer friendly and may be able to help. Kink is pretty underground, so they may know hidden stuff
What does kink and lgbt have to do with each other? Also I'm a minor so that's an issue
@sleepybisexual @Dislodge3233 kink culture is a huge subculture in the queer community. I’m not gonna write a thesis on it but you can do your own research. Also it’s not “a problem” it just isn’t for you since you’re a minor.
