• Have you experienced/witnessed any forms of discrimination against LGBT persons?
Not so far irl :D seen alot on RS tho...

• What is your country/society's attitudes towards the LGBT community?
Slowly getting more open minded about it

• What are your opinions on Gay Marriage? Is it legal in your country?
I'm oki with it, and it's not legal yet here

• Do you believe that homosexuality is caused by genetics or environmental factors?
I believe both can be factors for it. I think modern gay people are more likely to be affected by postnatal factors tho.

• Is there an adequate representation of LGBT in the media (including gaming industries)?
Not really but getting better.

• What're your views on gender-neutral bathrooms?
For public shopping halls/markets etc I support adding them as a third one apart from the usual male and female bathrooms. I don't support replacing the 2 with gender neutral bathroom tho. (Am saying this cuz in where I live some ppl purposed such replacement.....) Life has no meaning itself - it is you who make the meaning out of it.

From my overall observations in life, I came up with a conclusion that it's due to humans diving into the world of chemicals and making use of them while being ignorant of the consequences in the very past. E.g. nuclear wars and chemcials in our food. It's probably caused gene mutations to many living creatures (not just humans) which could also explain our many weird diseases espcially immunodeficiency ones. Flagrantly stupid.

-there has never been a nuclear war
-food is chemicals
-gays existed before nuclear power or GMOs were even conceived quoted post has been corrected Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

It's rare to go a day without seeing someone insulting gays. Turn off that gay music, dude thats gay and so on.

• What is your country/society's attitudes towards the LGBT community?
Either tolerance or its not normal dont allow it!!!, so divided.

• What are your opinions on Gay Marriage? Is it legal in your country?
I support it. I don't see the reason to why it should be forbidden. Not like Anna Nicole Smith married a billionare for love so don't see why gay people don't get the right. It's legal in sections not full throughout

• Do you believe that homosexuality is caused by genetics or environmental factors?
Born with it, how they're wired. Has nothing to do with environment in my eyes.

• Is there an adequate representation of LGBT in the media (including gaming industries)?
There is the serious lobbying for change version and then the sjw who is offended by everything and causes a mockery of the effort. I think its adequate but that some hurt the image of it. I wouldn't say they are without a voice.

• What're your views on gender-neutral bathrooms?
Don't really care, if theres a way that pleases all sides fine by me. I don't support allowing people to walk unobstructed in opposite bathrooms no questions asked. The law would not just affect them, but would endanger people and be a predators dream come true.

I'm a right-leaning centrist Christian and my view on the whole matter has changed drastically in the past few years, mostly thanks to the ministry of a particular band named Silent Planet. Their vocalist is a friend of mine and presents a very, VERY good discussion in a video discussing this topic.

- I have. Unfortunately, Christians can take their beliefs too far and use them as an excuse to hate on individuals of the LGBT community. I'm straight but I've seen individuals from the LGBT community be hated for their orientation.

- I'm from the US so most people know their overall attitude towards the LGBT community: it's pretty split.

- I don't really agree with it but I don't care that it's legal. God gave us free will, and part of free will is the freedom to have different opinions. I wouldn't have a problem living in a country that doesn't have it (so long as it's not some sort of radical Islamic country that will execute members of the LGBT community; I can't abide that hatred) I DO, however, side with the baker's side in the whole wedding cake controversy. It'd be one thing if they were outright denying service or employment to the gay couple but they weren't; they simply asked to not bake a cake for a gay wedding. In my book, there's nothing wrong with that. Instead, I find it wrong to force a business owner to go against their morals so long as they're not outright denying service totally or denying employment.

- I'm with Milo Yiannopoulos on the "genetics/environmental factors" discussion in that I think very few cases of homosexuality are truly based upon a feeling the individual has had from birth. I believe a majority of cases are from environmental factors, even if most won't acknowledge that. ~

- It bothers me that the whole "adequate representation" question is even a thing. The LGBT community always fights to be viewed as people just like the straight people. If that's the case, why are they treating it as if it's a racial/cultural issue? I mean, I don't see Christians going around saying "We demand representation in the media", despite the fact that we're considered a religious, and sometimes even a cultural, group.

- I believe in gender-neutral bathrooms in the sense of "family bathrooms": one-room, one-toilet bathrooms. I do not believe in gender-neutral public restrooms in the sense of a multi-toilet restroom where multiple people can go at once. And the reason is not what you think. Like 99% of the time, the whole thing wouldn't be a problem because in my experience, most transgender individuals are just average people who want nothing but to live their life the way they want. Unfortunately, this DOES open up a window for pervert men to creep on women and pervert women to creep on men and they could legally get away with it if they claimed to be transgender.

-----

Overall, I have compassion for the LGBT community, BUT I get beyond irritated by many of the LGBT community's activists who are extraordinarily pushy and judgemental. They'll get in everyone's faces about their beliefs and insist you have to have the same opinion as them. If you even state a slight difference in opinion from them, they start throwing accusations that you're "homophobic", "transphobic", etc. They'll preach tolerance yet practice close-minded hatred towards anyone that doesn't agree with them.

I also do NOT believe in the whole "genderfluid", 96-gender Tumblr nonsense. That rubbish, in the words of a certain conservative Youtuber, makes the LGBT community look like a joke to those that may not understand who they really are. ~

To summarize my ultimate view on the matter, however, I'll share a few quotes from Garrett Russell of Silent Planet:

"I guess, in summary, the next time you hear people debating, you know, 'Gay marriage or homosexuality: is it a sin?', or 'is it in the Bible?', I would say: 'Let's ground it within the reality of human beings and realize that every person has a different story.'"

"The idea that you're either straight or completely gay is also, I would say, a myth. I think there's a lot of people on a spectrum who are figuring out their life, and I think we all experience brokenness in our own sexuality. As a straight male, I've experienced so much brokenness in my sexuality and if you're someone who is figuring out your sexuality, or confused, just know that a lot of us are confused. Just because I know that I've been attracted to women my whole life, doesn't mean that I haven't been confused, or felt like, 'Is this right?', 'Is this wrong?', 'Am I making a mistake?', feeling embarrassed about myself, and we all go through that. That's a common human experience and whatever you believe about being lesbian or being gay or being transgender or questioning your gender, whatever you believe about those people; please, love them. And I would hope that the narrative would go from being Christians arguing about how they believe, or Christians being really, really scary people to talk to about that, or Christians thinking it's a chief sin... which is bizarre, I had a dude tell me that it's one of the chief sins, like one of the mortal sins. Which, the whole hierarchy of sins is also bizarre, because I believe that sin is that which brings us away from our attention being on the love of God, and to ourselves."

"You know, I guess wherever you come to a decision, I hope the one thing that I, and that Silent Planet can be a part of your journey, would be: look at the person, not the label. Look at the human being and you might see a lot of suffering." ~
