Your past may explain your negative actions, but under no circumstances does it excuse them. If you do something wrong, you will be held accountable, regardless of your tragic backstory.
You are not required to share the opinions of everyone you meet, but you are required to respect those opinions.
Unless their opinions disrespect people. Than you can disrespect them all you want.
Hating someone who’s part of a minority (LGBT+, religion, race) is fine, hating someone because they’re a part of a minority is not. Important distinction.
If you are against animal cruelty (which any decent human is) than you should be a vegan. The means that the human race uses to kill farm animals for food is inhumane. Look at any picture of a slaughterhouse, you’ll understand.
If you are pro-life, and want to ban gay and lesbian couples from adopting, than you really aren’t helping those children you claim to care for. Keep this in mind.
Pain is relative. Just because something doesn’t hurt you in particular, doesn’t mean that it can’t hurt someone else. Don’t tell them that ‘somebody else has it worse.’ That doesn’t help them. Be respectful of their situations.
Everyone is deserving of respect. Except for rapists, homophones, transphobes, misogynists, misandrists, and murderers.
Your political opinions do define who you are.
Republicans aim to take away the rights of women (regarding rape, abortion, etc), LGBT+ people (regarding conversion therapy, banning transgender people from the military, banning gay couples from adopting, etc), and everyone who doesn’t share their views.
Democrats do the opposite, supporting abortion and LGBT+ movements.
Which side do you want to be on?
Sex workers are just as deserving of respect as anyone else, regardless of their occupation. And they are no more deserving of rape and harassment as anyone else.
Your looks don’t define who you are. Died hair and piercings don’t make you a punk, pink dresss don’t make you a princess, etc.
Pedophiles/MAP’s are not a part of the LGBT+ community, and should not be associated with the community.
Misandrists who claim to be Feminists are not Feminists, and should not be associated with the movement. Please focus on the real Feminists when discussing Feminism.
Unless you are vegan, pro-immigration, anti-conversion therapy (centers that LGBT+ children are sent to to be ‘corrected’), against children being sold into sex slavery, etc, than you are not pro-life. You are pro-birth. Please remember this.
