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

72. Really?

Go back and read the thread that I'm referring to. Several people, including yourself, cheered the use of the term 'breeder' in reference to anyone who has bred. That includes EVERYONE who has children. Children of LGBTQ families are not wrong to challenge judgment of their families by anyone. In all honesty, if some fundamentalist jackass challenges my moms or the validity of my family, I go for the throat. Same thing here; if LGBTQQI DUers challenge my moms or the validity of my family, I will react. That's what happened in that thread.

I don't think YOU understand that I am well aware that comparing transgressions by an un-oppressed group to transgressions by an oppressed group is wildly offensive.

The OP of the thread in question was not dead on in her request. She was, in the view of the forum, speaking for the non-oppressed to the oppressed, and I get that that's why she was received the way she was. At the same time, she was also coming from a place from which the conflation of gay/lesbian+parent=breeder. This is very uncomfortable for us, and please take a minute to understand that.

I am deeply uncomfortable with my moms being called breeders. I expect that the OP of the thread in question felt the same way about her gay dads. It's not okay for homophobes and haters to judge our parents for being LGBTQQI; it's also not okay to have our parents treated as though they're not lesbian or gay enough by members of the community.

Maybe if ever have a daughter, she'll be able to explain it to you.
