Trump picks anti-LGBT hate group to run domestic policy transition

Do you not understand the difference between a small minority of an otherwise peaceful protest growing violent, and the election of a president that supports white supremacy?
Both sides are not the same. One side is showing unrest, to defend themselves and their friends from an actually violent right.
No one should tolerate bigotry
That's all their side can do.
We should really try to adopt a site-wide policy of ignoring all of them no matter what.
Bigotry is a political view that should be tolerated apparently. Oh, wait, no it isn't. Show me who's been banned for just saying they support/voted for Trump.

And Hilary's policies incite sjw nonsense that censor any train of thought.
Both politicians were terrible choices btw and I support neither, but I support the freedom to express yourself without having fear of being silenced.

You know, I've come to expect that shit. But the gall to post it in this thread and then complain about unfair bans.

You're smarter than this. Don't use weak fallacies to try and feel smug and intellectual over what is a real human rights issue, one that affects you if you're gay, as you claim.
EDIT: Nevermind, they were banned.

God, I just want some sanity restored around here
People telling us to get over bigotry and not call it out
People pretending to care in one thread and laughing in another
And these are not burners, these are full members
Fuck me man

"I want to take away gay rights" Is just expressing themselves?
It's really fucking terrible that people say, oh that's just their opinion. Their opinion wants to invalidate someones existence! How can people be so daft?
You aren't even discussing anything. Don't pretend to care about being censored when you don't even want to talk issues.
A) You do not have that freedom on a private forum, such as this one.
B) One of the presidential candidates promised to curtail the 1st amendment. It wasn't Clinton.
But you're still not addressing the topic at hand.

this need to feel smug and above it all should stop
I may be a little guilty of this as well. Whose to say honestly...

Not like I needed any more proof to know you're a piece of crap, but here it is.
Also fucking hilarious. Trump himself vowed to break the first ammendment. Several times. Holy shit.
Theres that alt right thinking. "The media says it's good to be progressive and treat minorities well, so you aren't a free thinker unless you think otherwise"
I really don't think the LGBT community in the US is feeling 'above it all' at the moment...
Snuck it in just before the ban too, heh.
Now off to alt right sites to proclaim how awful GAF and the intolerant left are.
Feels Bad Man.
Anything against the simple right given to us by the Declaration should be fought against.
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" Simple concept, simple to apply.
DOMA flew in the face of this simple concept, and its removal has paved the way to make the government work for all Americans. I pray the new government does not move us from this goal, and if they do, I hope all true Americans stand up against this loss of a basic civil right.

of course not
I'm talking more about people attempting to appear level-headed to feel superior over everyone.
People who stand for social equality and justice really should appropriate the term social justice warrior. It has a good ring to it.
And then we could laugh at alt-righters crying about cultural appropriation.
Don't you know that the rights of minorities is just an opinion now? We are supposed to accept it and nod our heads now.

where are those gaf trump supporters at? I want to see those usual 3s try to defend this bullshit
The only place that doesn't happen is gaf, unfortunately.
Apparently not.

Exactly.
Trump is going to sign off on every name that appears on his desk, just because it means less work for him.
He probably does less research into candidates than the average voter, and that's really alarming.
Yes. I've even seen the phrase used IRL.

Acting smug and above it all is a combination of a positive and a negative action.
Positive: Trying to remove oneself from the action to validate one's beliefs
Negative: Baiting people into responding so that it becomes a never-ending trail that makes the other party more and more heated until they get banned or leave, thus validating the originator's beliefs.
It's basically just trolling.

Yeah it's pretty hilarious that myself and my friends face the fact that people that want us dead have so much power. It's a fucking riot.
Oh.
Shit, wasn't aware of that.
Well, it could be co-opted again, this time for, you know, reasonable people.
...
That won't happen, right?
I've seen people use it that honestly didn't understand that the phrase is awful and extremely demeaning. They still it meant the extreme fringes.
I fear that Trump will let Pence and Bannon decide everything and will only exercise his power as the POTUS when he wants to start a war/carpet bomb the Middle East/launch a nuke.

At first I was optimistic but I've been living in denial; it was a false hope. I said I would wait until his actions to reach a conclusion.
The LGBT community is fucked under Trump's administration. Minorities are fucked under Trump just as well. It will only get worse now that he has power (House & Senate).
I hope the States (and people) that voted for Hillary will fight back.
Edit:
Tried to be optimistic given the outcome (which was truly baseless).

Brilliant strategy from the alt right stooges: Say offensive shit you'll know will get you banned, while claiming you'll get banned because of our intolerance. Gotta look like a martyr to your buddies on Reddit.
Yeah, but they can totally work from the inside for inclusion!!
Differing views are for things like "I don't like French fries" not "I'm intolerant to basic human rights"
We aren't just going to lay down and take it. I'm not optimistic in a bright happy 4 years but I feel like I should be more politically active than ever before to help as many as possible.
I'm legitimately happy to see you come to this understanding. It gives me hope more people will stop believing the lie and fight back.
In two years we get our first big chance.
Indeed. Human rights a right, a fact, not an opinion.
You can, for example, argue "rich should be taxed less". That's fine, especially if you can actually argue for it.
But the right thinks it is a-okay to suppress human rights, saying "it is just an opinion, i have gay black friend" or some shit like that.
It's even more tragic since the majority didn't even want this.
