"I am the mother of a gay son and I've taken enough from you good people."

68. Stupid people believe stupid things.

These bigoted people think that LGBTQ people suffer because they struggle with their "sin". They struggle because of ASSHOLES like you, who won't just accept who they are and let them be. Let them be the school nerd, or jock football player, or lawyer, or firefighter, or mom/dad/grandparent, or whatever, who just happens to be gay, or lesbian, or bi, or queer, or trans, or whatever else that is not actively bothering or threatening or damaging anything.

I have said, the LGBTQ people in my life have Absolutely no effect on my relationships with my wife, kids, work, etc... other than to enrich my life by knowing their experiences. They can be moody, and happy, and good conversationalists, or shy, or whatever. They are people who happen to be attracted to a different gender than I am, or who happen to have a different gender identity or expression. They work, they mow their lawns, they play sports, etc...

It is only in the tiny bigoted minds of insecure people, that LGBTQ people pose any kind of threat to anything.

It is beyond ridiculous.
