You don't have to be Gay to support the LGBT Community.

68. That disgusting thread championed calling LGBT parents 'breeders.'

And you applauded.

While I won't agree with the sentence that you cited from the OP, I will unabashedly call bullshit on every single person in that thread who ignored the fact that the OP stated at the outset that she was a child of a gay family when she asked that DUers not use the term, and who then ripped her apart for it.

That was the thread that taught me that the DU LGBT forum had no use for LGBT families or allies, even the most natural allies: children of LGBT families. That was when I learned that, on DU, it's acceptable and even HILARIOUS to call my moms 'breeders.' My moms, products of the post-war generation, protestors for the ERA, hiding their lives because they live in a right-to-work state, good people who fought against cultural and societal demands and decided to live as who they are... ha ha ha, let's call them 'breeders' because they had... me.

And you applauded.

If you don't see the reason I might take offense at that, you shouldn't be allowed to post.

Please, if you ever have children, I hope you will prepare them for this kind of welcome from the most short-sighted, self-centered members of the community.
