I wasn’t raised in LGBT, wasn’t born in a place there it’s supported either (and it still isn’t there), and am not LGBT+ myself. But I wholeheartedly support their right to whichever it is they’re born to do.
But that one time I didn’t update my dictionary and just said LGBT+ and one of em came to me to basically reprimand me saying I should be using LGBT with the right suffixes, that was not cool.
I still support their cause, but it’s good to remember that there are assholes in every imaginable group of people, regardless of whether or not they’re discriminated against. And they should also just gtfo of their bubbles more. And yes, that comfort zone is a dang bubble by definition.
