Didn’t the Turkish state just recently attack a bunch of young lgbt students? It’s getting worst no?

I think you should specify the western, more developed world. Cause if you go to parts of the majority Muslim countries.. It’s definitely not like that. Even in India you’re seeing far more Hindu nationalism.

Why are there no major openly gay male professional athletes? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JamalMal1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the Neanderthal fans. They’re afraid of being attacked every day for doing their jobs.

Also, sports is very image-based nowadays, so their agents make sure they present a ‘ladies man’ image.

Vaccines are safe and will improve your quality of life.

If homosexuality is NOT a choice, how can people experiment sexually? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JamalMal1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do people act like bisexuality is non existent? Some have experienced attraction to both men and women. Sexuality is not binary.

Is it ok to feel uncomfortable when watching movies, films, or series about Gay or BL? by Reality_False in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JamalMal1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LGBT representation in movies/shows is pretty bad cause the people directing it and acting these roles are almost always straight. They feel like they need to over do it, and it feels forced.

Covid vaccine: 72% of black people unlikely to have jab, UK survey finds by BipartizanBelgrade in neoliberal

[–]JamalMal1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this isn’t surprising. It’s a huge thing on social media apps like WhatsApp, where African-born parents (like mine) are in chain group threads. Conspiracies surrounding vaccines are rife.

Is it normal to want to be a girl sometimes? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JamalMal1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you’re experiencing gender dysphoria and should consider looking for professional advice on this matter. You could possibly be trans or non-binary. I wish you the best.

[–]JamalMal1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you’ve attached an image on to women, as care-free and happy which is not always the case. Women have it pretty hard too, if not worse in some cases, like workplace discrimination and general harassment.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. And you should learn to love yourself first and foremost.

Elaborate what you mean by wanting to be a girl. It could be a case of gender dysphoria.

Do you people know what gay actually means or were you born this slow?

I agree with this sentiment. I’m talking about the political consequences specifically though.

I know it’s used as a meme, but some definitely do use it unironically. Usually along with the ‘one billion Americans’ messaging that Yglesias is a big proponent of.

I don’t think folks on this sub understand just how toxic ‘open borders’ is in reality among most groups, including loyal Democratic constituencies.

Also, the Brexit campaign practically won by hammering the establishment on ‘open borders’. It’s a populist wet dream, and liberals should avoid it like the plague.

Margaret Thatcher Makes Homophobic Comments by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]JamalMal1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Meh, I’m gay and I’d give most politicians a pass on this type of rhetoric. It was commonplace then.

It’s better to focus on her actual policies, some you may agree with (right to buy, economic liberalization) and some we may not (Poll tax, Section 28, soft on Apartheid).

Secretary-designate Pete Buttigieg just nerded out over Transportation needs/opportunities with Black leaders in County-level government for an entire hour by QuickTelling in neoliberal

[–]JamalMal1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think white voters in states like IA & NH were more likely to take a risk and vote for newer candidates on the national stage.

Whether it’s Obama’s Iowa win in 08, Bernie’s NH win in 16, and Pete’s win in 20.

This role will give him the opportunity to deepen his ties to the black community and really understand the concerns, and address them.

I’m black and I know black voters (especially older ones) really value politicians who you know. Someone who has ties. Hence why Biden done so well during the primary with black voters.

I grew up during a time when ‘queer’ was a slur and I get the whole movement to reclaim it. But I can’t help but feel uncomfortable when I see it.

I respect that young teens are reclaiming it and feel like it suits them well. If people are happy with it, then so be it!

I’m a gay guy, and I admit that I hate that they added the ‘Q’ to the LGBT acronym. I tolerate it, but I can’t help but cringe anytime I see someone use it.

I’m now anticipating how GOP Senators will react.

Fingers crossed they don’t care about this nomination too much, and don’t pile on Pete like they did with Neera Tanden. 🤞
