Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, you would take a conversation about apple pie and somehow make it about Gaza.
There’s a time and a place for that, and you insult LGBT people by shifting the conversation away from them when the post is about them.
The same people screaming about protecting LGBTQ+ rights are the same ones that are saying we need to ignore what's going on in Gaza and around the world at the hands of the US so they can protect their own privilege. a person either is concerned about all human rights or they're concerned about none. And as an open and out queer, you do not get to dictate what insults me, or speak on my behalf and most likely on a group of people that you are not amongst.
No they aren’t the same people. That’s actual insanity. No one saying “protect lgbt+” is saying “la la la nothing is happening in Gaza”
Oh boy. I know your type. The “don’t you tell me not to be a bad person!”
You’re the type to say “All lives matter” at a BLM protest, missing the point entirely.
I’m gay. I find your attempts to take the focus away from my problems—in this thread—to be insulting. The world has lots of problems. We don’t have to focus on one at a time. We can multitask.
You are saying you are gay as a race to innocence to try and defend that your attempt to overlook their rights to defend yours?
When I said 'my rights' it's because I am gay.
We are talking about lgbt. That is the topic. Stop insulting lgbt by trying to switch the topic to Gaza. I’m not overlooking Gaza. I’m capable of having two focused ideas. You are not.
Bad faith bullshit
'Very all lives matter of you.'
Palestinians are the ones under threat of life. OP post is concerned about LGBTQ rights, we are not under threat of life. Right now democrats are like the republicans in the beginning of the BLM movement. 'What about us' when they are not the ones getting killed.
Which they should be, because they are being threatened.
This isn't true, and is a moving the goalposts fallacy.
Are you seriously trying to compare the 2? One is getting slaughtered, the other is mostly hyperbole
You're a fool if you think that the lives of queer people aren't in danger from GOP policy.
Having concern isn't the same thing as comparison, or even statement of equality. Quit assuming bullshit.
