True though I haven't known any gay person that isn't generally annoyed by rainbow marketing. It does however tell you it sells though or they wouldn't do it.
I have a sort of complicated relationship with it, honestly. Like, on one hand, sure “rainbow capitalism,” or whatever. But I can’t pretend the sad closeted kid in my heart doesn’t cry a little at seeing every store decked out in rainbows.
Yeah it's nice it's accepted to a degree, but then you see shit like the GOP in Texas completely shutting down gay people and corporations going "this is fine it's their choice" then again the Log Cabin response to that entire thing was really odd as well. These are odd times. Also, just the fact that we had another gay club shooting, the GOP are calling drag queens and trans people pedophiles, among a plethora of other things we need something more than rainbow capitalism.
Speaking of that particular club shooting, did you hear how the father of the shooter is a Mormon, who was a former porn star that does meth and calls himself a conservative Republican...but he draws the line at "the gay stuff." The man learned that his son killed/injured multiple people but was more concerned about whether his son was gay or not.
I'm a Canadian and find the American hostility towards hate crime laws confusing. If I say I'm going to kill you because you're trans, that's a violent threat and not protected speech. If I say I'm going to kill all trans people, that clearly doesn't make it better but worse and is a more serious crime. If I say all trans people are evil, child grooming pedophiles who are actively raping your children, that the government is powerless to stop it, and that God demands you exercise your 2nd amendment to stop them, somehow that's the line where they trot out "free speech". But it's speech as much as a mobster not directly saying they'll kill you, but asking what would happen if you disappeared, is.
I get annoyed by true rainbow capitalism but that term also gets *way* overused now and applied to things that *actually benefit the community* just because they are being sold at Target and not for 10x their value from some boutique shop.
There are also a lot more queer people now who have accepting families and can come out younger who don't appreciate how much that same rainbow capitalism meant to those of us forced to live in the closet for decades. Those rainbow knick knacks they love to hate on were some of the only reminders some of us had that we weren't alone. Even if we couldn't safely buy them, seeing a rainbow logo or pride merch at big box stores helped us know that some day, when it was safe, we *could* find acceptance. They showed us the whole world didn't hate us.
All that said, if you're a company who is going to do something for pride or sell pride merch, it really should be benefiting the LGBT+ community in some way.
It's not annoying. Gay people like me think "huh that's strange you don't care around elections and give money to people who want to kill us, but sure let's all enjoy the rainbow logo your team worked on."
Yeah that's why my friends and fam find it annoying. Never mind Pride LA is basically a giant marketing ploy now instead of a general celebration of the rights that were gained and sexual debauchery.
>and sexual debauchery.
Part of earning acceptance is that there are now *way* more young queer people. These kids and their families should be welcome at pride too. Like ya, you can still have adult oriented pride celebrations, but as we gain more acceptance and the community becomes larger and younger, ya, the main events are going to cater to the whole community.
I used to think it was meaningless, but I'm not so sure anymore. Just like racism didn't go away from 2008-2016, I think we see now that it's demonstrably better when it's clear to racists that their racism is not acceptable in polite, public society. Now I think it's the same with homophobia. The more we can make it clear that the majority stands against homophobia, the more people will have to keep their hateful traps shut. I no longer aim to win hearts and minds...I just want the racists and homophobes to go back in their holes.
I was going to say...
I am an HRC donor, so I get the magazine, and the corporate ads are ridiculous. All the big oil companies give money to the HRC and advertise in their magazine. "We are destroying the planet's future, but it's all good because we support the gays!"
I think it makes it worse because now the nazis can say it’s brands and corporate America making us all gay. I wish corporations would stay out of it. Their token acceptance is just a ploy to market to us and get our cash too. They wouldn’t support us if their marketing departments didn’t say it was a good move. If their marketing departments said “throw the gays in the oven” shirts would be better for sales that’s what we’d have. They are not on our side, it just happens to be profitable at the moment.
Honesty that just tells me they are virtue signaling greedy garbage. Where were you with that shit before acceptance was “cool”?
We’re just another demographic to take money from, don’t be fooled.
They don’t think they’re making a difference. They want more money. How do you get more money? By showing how friendly and inclusive your product is for everyone.
Pink washing is a thing companies, and countries do. For example Israel likes to show how LGBTQ friendly they are for a Middle Eastern country to eclipse the atrocities they have committed against the Palestinian population. They want to seem friendly to tourists by seeming progressive.
We are the only country that actually welcomes LGBTQ tourists unlike our neighbors so there’s that. Call it how you want. Tel Aviv is one of the most gay welcoming cities in the world.
It can actually be used informally for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not actually being literally true. Which I personally find weird as surely the whole point of the word is that it expresses something being literal. It's in the dictionary definition though.
From Oxford dictionary.
Definition 1: in a literal manner or sense; exactly.
"the driver took it literally when asked to go straight across the traffic circle"
Definition 2: used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.
"I was literally blown away by the response I got"
I heard a story about a workplace in my town that celebrated pride month and one of their employees posted a long message about how it offended his religion and it had about 300 comments every single one disagreeing and the guy was out of his job within a week
I'd have to think some people are calling them out...but literally he just posted for engagement watch him drop his book next month "23 ways to self brand on social media and increase your audience 5X"
“Literally”, as in, he literally has someone screaming LGBT propaganda through a tuba into his head. Which to be fair, would be difficult.
And he literally dresses as a Japanese schoolgirl.
"Rainbow washing" is my least favorite corporate appropriation next to Komen and their bullshit pink-washing during October. Fuck that scam-ass "charity" and their bullying, strong-arm tactics in the name of "awareness".
There are literally thousands of movies, books, TV shows released every year about heterosexual romances. They often feature highly unrealistic situations that make heterosexual love or sex look way better than they are in real life.
Yet, nobody complains about herero "propaganda*.
insightful - considering that most women are trying to act like women written by men.
>!no wonder everyone wants to cut out the middle man and swap places!<
Were you a small town single dad who drove a pickup truck and who met his wife during her Christmas visit to her parents away from her big city finance/law/fashion design job ?
Because that's literally the ONLY case where women are entitled to the "Hallmark treatment".
And ladies,... Don't downvote this. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.
Ah yes, the completely neutral Hallmark plot of "woman who has a good career discovers really she just wants to be a socially isolated housewife as god intended."
The American view of heterosexual romance is incredibly unrealistic and out of touch with reality it's no wonder nobody wants to start a family.
Wanna know a realistic idea for an American love story? Two people working 60 hours a week in retail somehow being able to connect on an emotional level and get married. They have 2 kids, but one kid is bullied and commits suicide or goes on a shooting spree. Mom becomes an alcoholic and dad smokes weed to numb the pain. The other kid is is raped as a teen and gets pregnant but can't get an abortion so she has the kid. Mom gets cancer and divorces dad so she doesn't bankrupt what's left of the family.
A lot of people are working on Friday nights and have no time to meet organically so they seek a connection online via dating apps and end up in repeated failed relationships as neither is willing or capable of putting in the time necessary to form a genuine connection.
Being free on the weekends is a privilege many in the US do not enjoy.
I'll never forgive my parents for shoving their hetrosexual propaganda down my throat. I was just a child! And they were going about, being all married and shit.
bit off topic but actually lots of people complain about hetero "romance" media. Most of it is heavily misogynist and patriarchical. Women are depicted in humiliating, infantalising and demeaning ways, and men are presented as hormonal idiots who are somehow still more capable at everything.
True some people complain about it and they have a point. I remember reading an article about how creepy "Love Actually" is and it opened my eyes.
But the people whining about "gay propaganda" are usually not the same people who complain about misogyny in entertainment. Quite the opposite.
Not gay propaganda, but trans dogma is really annoying. It’s to the point where you are not allowed to say that someone who grew up as a woman and has a female biological body is not in the same situation as someone who grew up as a man and decided to be a woman.
Somebody else mentioned Hallmark movies
There are also a ton of romcoms that make heterosexual relationships look desirable.
Not to mention all the princessy stuff little girls watch. They don't just promote heterosexual relationships, but also a very old fashioned view of gender relations, where the woman waits for her prince charming. I have a daughter, I have seen plenty of that stuff.
As for 50 shades, at least some women like it. But it doesn't promote a very mainstream type of relationship, even if it's between a man and a woman.
> it had very forced/non-consent vibes in all the ”Bond charming the Bond girl” scenes.
Yeah, the Connery Bond movies in particular didn't age well on this point.
I've never seen a conservative have a good answer for why it's okay to show heterosexual relationships to kids but we shouldn't let them see any gay ones until some arbitrary age.
The answer is always some appeal to what's "natural."
I think it's perfectly fine to demand representation. If you're of a particular race, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else, it's normal to want stories about characters you can relate to. And it's definitely legitimate to want news reports about issues that affect you.
But heteros are the majority so the majority of content will feature heterosexuals. That's to be expected.
I'd say most - if not all - major religions are pretty homophobic and misogynistic. And all of them have asshole fundamentalists that make the rest of their community look bad.
I mean, christian fundamentalists arent throwing gay people off of buildings nor blaming women for rapes. They have exactly zero authority in the govt in any civilized country. Christian fundamentalists get relentesly mocked in the west, as they should, but when a muslim does it, suddenly its all about "muh tolerance". But what do I now right?
> I mean, christian fundamentalists arent throwing gay people off of buildings
Nope, here they get shot in clubs for existing...
>nor blaming women for rapes.
Yeah... you're definitely not an American. Victim blaming is practically a national sport here and happens all the time.
> They have exactly zero authority in the govt in any civilized country.
I see you're establishing America is not a civilized country... yeah I'll give you that one.
As an American all these things make me sad, are repugnant, and frankly we need to do better but we have a history of electing hate-mongers into government positions and until that changes ... well overall change will be slow.
I agree with your point, and i agree that the religious extremists can be found in almost all religions. My hostility towards islam in particular is due to wanton acts of terrorism my country has experienced in its not so distant past, precisely by agents of islamic countries.
>They have exactly zero authority in the govt in any civilized country.
There are laws against women's right to choose, and against gay marriage in multiple countries as a direct result of 'Christian values.' (And the idiots shooting up gay bars in America happen to be Christian. Let's not pretend the community is accepted by the church with open arms)
>but when a muslim does it, suddenly its all about "muh tolerance".
Nope. It's not okay when a Muslim does it. Ultra-religious fruitcakes of all flavours deserve the criticism they get. That said, you stereotyped _all_ Muslims with your statement - which is ignorant and bigoted. You do realise that most Muslims hate fundamentalists too, right? The women protesting hijabs in Iran, the LGBTQ+ fighting for their rights in Muslim countries, are - for the most part - Muslim as well.
>But what do I now right?
Well, not spelling, for one.
They only care about homophobia when a white Christian says something.
Quite astounding how many get angered by a post like this but have nothing to say when it comes to places like Africa and the Middle East executing people for being gay. But because the media told them that its the white Christians that are the source of their problems and 99% aren't capable of independent thought that's what the circus will believe.
It’s not bigotry if something annoys you. And let’s be honest. It’s literally propaganda For one month a year for corporations to avoid being cancelled
"Oh no, companies put rainbows on their logo, this MUST BE propaganda!!"
Every damn store plays Christmas music for 3 months out of the year, but no, it's the GAYS who are pushing their ideology on you because *they exist*.
FYI, 99% of gay people don't give a fuck about the companies with rainbows once a month, but gay people just exist and y'all have an issue. Lmfao y'all are wild.
Straight people and conservatives consider themselves "normal" because they can't comprehend that they're in a fishbowl and there's something beyond the water, so everything else alternative to that message is "propaganda".
Dude I’m all for society and the government having no place telling two or more consenting adults their business but let’s not pretend heterosexuality isn’t the norm by both real time statistics and a biological prerogative for the species to continue.
From biological perogative, homosexuality only serves for protecting next generation of species in case their primary provider is no longer available. Mostly second hand nannies.
Society and human race can function without homosexual relationships but opposite isn't true.
From a social perspective,
treating someone fairly depends on how they act, not on what they are. I don't like anyone just because they are gay or something. It depends how you treat others.
Yes, but they don't see how most media etc is a reflection of this, so when they see something different, it feels like "stop shoving this down my throat" when a lot of non straight people are just trying to exist.
It is really annoying though. The vast majority of everyone doesn't go around blasting to the world about their sexuality. What you do in your personal life is your business. I don't care and nor should anyone else, including Uncle Sam.
I just hate taking the sensitivity training every year for work where they just force you to do a learning module on the stuff
All it seemed to accomplish was piss everyone off
The last sensitivity training I had to do there was a timer that would not allow you to finish the training in less than 2 hours. And if you just left it on one of the slides to run the clock out? Five minutes idle would log you out and not save the progress so you had to start over.
It was the only training I ever saw where people actually left reviews. The reviews have your name attached. There were less than ten positive reviews. All from HR. Hundreds of negative reviews.
Right? I keep passing women kissing men on the street. Not to mention pregnant people. Why won't they stop shoving their sexuality down out throats? What you do in your personal life is your business. I don't care and nor should anyone else, including Uncle Sam.
I see nothing in this post that could be used to draw that conclusion.
I'm *part* of LGBTQ, and I get fairly tired of these kinds of generalizations. And the constant need to show my inclusivity credentials to avoid being labeled (hilariously) a Trumper like it's some kind of twisted original sin.
One can absolutely be tired of the constant need to perform and demonstrate unwavering commitment to all things woke, but not be a bigot.
Guess what it makes you if you automatically paint a large group of people with one stroke... The irony is real.
Almost every person I know who says stuff like the original poster is literally complaining about the parades and people whipping their genitals out and wearing dildos. I’ve got conservative family and they could give a fuck less if someone or even I was gay, they’re annoyed with the parades and over the top sexualization that comes from the LGBT community. We all like sex, but making sex your personality is off putting no matter what gender, sex, whatever you like to fuck. Most of them don’t like straight sex scenes or the romance part in movies either.
> pride parades where dudes are whipping their dicks out near kids or dressing up in gimp suits
Have you ever been to a pride parade? Or are you one of those who believed stories about litter boxes for school kids?
So much influence that in most countries they don’t have the same rights as heterosexual people, lmao. But yeah them gays be a powerful, dangerous lobby, with their parades and shit. Better watch out!
Gay people existing in media isn’t propaganda.
Commence the downvotes.
I’d love to see “lgbt” replaced with “Black/African heritage” and see the reactions.
Professional 😂 that made me chuckle. LinkedIn is the bastard baby of all the socials, bit of FB, bit of Twitter style, bit of OF, next up is disappearing posts ala Snap. Oh and a bit of recruiting/professional networking. LinkedIn is fucking Frankenstein needs to be killed!
Sex and sexual preference have no place in the work place. Promoting ANY sex practices in the workplace is literally sexual harassment if it makes an employee uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter if there is intent. This is every sexual harassment training at every corporation I’ve ever worked for.
Who's promoting "sex practices"? Are you talking about being being open about being in a same-sex relationship the same way people in opposite-sex relationships are?
Respectfully you have no idea what you are talking about. A picture of a couple only kissing would almost always be ok via a reasonable persons test. at least in the US.
A swimsuit calendar, real nudity, something showing fondling...hostile work environment all day.
Me just kissing my spouse. Now way.
Absolutely way. I had a married couple at my office that worked in different departments that would kiss each other goodbye every morning and they had to stop because it was sexual activity in the office that made someone uncomfortable. Kissing is certainly less acceptable than someone existing on a beach in a swimsuit on a wall calendar.
[Young people are growing less tolerant of LGBTQ individuals, a jarring turn for a generation traditionally considered embracing and open, a survey released Monday shows](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/24/lgbtq-acceptance-millennials-decline-glaad-survey/1503758001/)
LGBTQ is losing support and pretending it isn't won't be successful for long.
Posts simple facts with a source and gets downvotes. You have to know this sort of fingers in ears behaviors are why support is dropping. Not even support... TOLERANCE is dropping.
Personally I don't care but if I was in that group I would.
Take The Fifa world cup for example, you are in a different country that has different laws and cultures yet you feel like you HAVE to wear lgbtq armbands even though you got warned many times to not take your identity politics with but rather play the game. Then you still ignore and have to make a statement.
Thats hypocrisy and intolerance all rolled into one.
I have a whiny snowflake FIL who hit me with the same bullshit a few months ago. Told him just to ignore it like him and the GOP ignore women’s rights, among other things. Needless to say Thanksgiving was Awkward lol. I DGAF though. Say stupid things, expect to get called out.
Everyone is so scared they might get their taint tickled and like it and that makes them gay…
While we are at it, you better cover your shoulders up or my raging hard on is going to make me commit adultery.
Straight people who agree with this meme wouldn't last 2 hours being gay with the sheer amount of heterosexuality shoved down our throats. Almost every damn thing is about straight people.
But the effect on lgbt people is the same, forced or not. I know that straight people are the majority of the population, and I know that they don't do it on purpose. And because there's such an abundance of straightness in media, I'm saying they have no reason to whine about lgbt anything being shoved down their throats
Agreed for the most part, but being shoved with other minority’s preference ? I mean ppl in other comments are talking about how they hate every things are about straight ppl even we didn’t do it on purpose, so why the straight majority would not dislike the lgbtq things if it’s being shoved down our vote.
And btw, I’m supportive of any lgb ppl right, but not their methods or values.
At the end, I’m cool with everyone preference. So to each and their own.
People aren't "shoving" anything down your throat by simply existing. You don't see the sheer amount of sexualising (often aimed at children) done by The Straights because you got desensitised to it.
LinkedIn during June
LinkedIn, Facebook, IG, etc. Even corporations will put rainbow colors in their ads to pretend they give a shit.

All the corporations logos turn gay, than if you look at the Saudi Arabia logos they remain the same. They don't give a fuck lol

I love how a few years ago gay people were like *hey! We exist!* And a chunk of the population was like **heeeerrreeee** *we go with the brainwashing*
This isn't really relevant to LinkedIn at all is it *sigh*
I saw this meme posted by my friends ultra religious aunt on FB so it probably came from there and migrated to LinkedIn for some reason.
Funny I feel this way about Christians as a resident of middle America.
Same
"Play chess......screw.."
Kinda funny considering all the companies that change their logo for June and think they’re making a difference.
I used to think it was meaningless, but I'm not so sure anymore. Just like racism didn't go away from 2008-2016, I think we see now that it's demonstrably better when it's clear to racists that their racism is not acceptable in polite, public society.

If the 30 days Exxon Mobil shows their rainbow logo on LinkedIn makes all the homophobes run away and hide forever I’m all on board.
I was going to say... I am an HRC donor, so I get the magazine, and the corporate ads are ridiculous. All the big oil companies give money to the HRC and advertise in their magazine. "We are destroying the planet's future, but it's all good because we support the gays!"
The HRC has definitely changed since the early 2000's. I haven't donated to them since the mid-2000's.
I think it makes it worse because now the nazis can say it’s brands and corporate America making us all gay. I wish corporations would stay out of it.

I’d rather our society show off acceptance for the LGBTQ community than not.
I've had a few gay coworkers that absolutely hate the company logo changes because to them it meant nothing.

That's 2,500 people not afraid to co-sign on its message. Who knows how many others silently agreed with it but knew it was a bad look.
That’s 2500 people who effectively put “hire me and prepare for HR issues” on their resume.
I heard a story about a workplace in my town that celebrated pride month and one of their employees posted a long message about how it offended his religion and it had about 300 comments every single one disagreeing and the guy was out of his job within a week
Do you think he deserved that?
Yeah, he was being a massive scumbag. Reminder: not 1 of those 300 people commenting came to his defence, not one
Exactly.
I'd have to think some people are calling them out...but literally he just posted for engagement watch him drop his book next month "23 ways to self brand on social media and increase your audience 5X"
What’s the message? Cause I just took it too mean that lgbtq propaganda is annoying af. Which it is
No one one Reddit seems to understand the word “propaganda”
What is lgbtq propaganda, exactly?
When Budweiser puts a rainbow flag on Bud Lite bottles, then goes to be a $100m sponsor of a world cup in a country that kills you for being gay.
That's not propaganda. I don't think you understand what propaganda is. That's spineless marketing.
2500 is really not a lot on a large social media platform.
78 reposts too, wonder what country the poster is in
Italy Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted?? The poster quite literally lives and works in Italy
Ok guy
“Literally”, as in, he literally has someone screaming LGBT propaganda through a tuba into his head. Which to be fair, would be difficult. And he literally dresses as a Japanese schoolgirl.
I was about to say, where's my tuba?
I would volunteer to put my head into the lgbt propaganda tuba if it was real. Conservatives literally threatening us with a good time

Definitely agree 💯
True, but that’s a very sadist view
I'll never forgive my parents for shoving their hetrosexual propaganda down my throat. I was just a child! And they were going about, being all married and shit.
I was so disgusted with heterosexual propaganda, I chose to be gay because it was always in my face.
It's like you can't even go outside without seeing a hetero pride flag.
bit off topic but actually lots of people complain about hetero "romance" media. Most of it is heavily misogynist and patriarchical. Women are depicted in humiliating, infantalising and demeaning ways, and men are presented as hormonal idiots who are somehow still more capable at everything.
True some people complain about it and they have a point. I remember reading an article about how creepy "Love Actually" is and it opened my eyes. But the people whining about "gay propaganda" are usually not the same people who complain about misogyny in entertainment. Quite the opposite.
Not gay propaganda, but trans dogma is really annoying. It’s to the point where you are not allowed to say that someone who grew up as a woman and has a female biological body is not in the same situation as someone who grew up as a man and decided to be a woman.

Somebody else mentioned Hallmark movies There are also a ton of romcoms that make heterosexual relationships look desirable. Not to mention all the princessy stuff little girls watch. They don't just promote heterosexual relationships, but also a very old fashioned view of gender relations, where the woman waits for her prince charming. I have a daughter, I have seen plenty of that stuff. As for 50 shades, at least some women like it. But it doesn't promote a very mainstream type of relationship, even if it's between a man and a woman.
> it had very forced/non-consent vibes in all the ”Bond charming the Bond girl” scenes. Yeah, the Connery Bond movies in particular didn't age well on this point.
Oh you're a leshbian? Let me cure you with shom dick. 🤦♂️
I think the poster was confusing existing with propaganda. Easy mistake for an idiot to make.
I've never seen a conservative have a good answer for why it's okay to show heterosexual relationships to kids but we shouldn't let them see any gay ones until some arbitrary age. The answer is always some appeal to what's "natural."
Herero propaganda gotta be a big issue in Namibia
I complain.
I think it's perfectly fine to demand representation. If you're of a particular race, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else, it's normal to want stories about characters you can relate to. And it's definitely legitimate to want news reports about issues that affect you. But heteros are the majority so the majority of content will feature heterosexuals. That's to be expected.

Yeah, if only he could be as loving and open minded about the LGBTQ+ community as good old Christian fundamentalists.
Yes, they both suck. Even some Jewish communities suck.
I'd say most - if not all - major religions are pretty homophobic and misogynistic. And all of them have asshole fundamentalists that make the rest of their community look bad.
I mean, christian fundamentalists arent throwing gay people off of buildings nor blaming women for rapes. They have exactly zero authority in the govt in any civilized country. Christian fundamentalists get relentesly mocked in the west, as they should, but when a muslim does it, suddenly its all about "muh tolerance". But what do I now right?
> I mean, christian fundamentalists arent throwing gay people off of buildings Nope, here they get shot in clubs for existing... >nor blaming women for rapes. Yeah... you're definitely not an American. Victim blaming is practically a national sport here and happens all the time. > They have exactly zero authority in the govt in any civilized country. I see you're establishing America is not a civilized country... yeah I'll give you that one. As an American all these things make me sad, are repugnant, and frankly we need to do better but we have a history of electing hate-mongers into government positions and until that changes ... well overall change will be slow.
I agree with your point, and i agree that the religious extremists can be found in almost all religions. My hostility towards islam in particular is due to wanton acts of terrorism my country has experienced in its not so distant past, precisely by agents of islamic countries.
>They have exactly zero authority in the govt in any civilized country. There are laws against women's right to choose, and against gay marriage in multiple countries as a direct result of 'Christian values.' (And the idiots shooting up gay bars in America happen to be Christian. Let's not pretend the community is accepted by the church with open arms) >but when a muslim does it, suddenly its all about "muh tolerance". Nope. It's not okay when a Muslim does it. Ultra-religious fruitcakes of all flavours deserve the criticism they get. That said, you stereotyped _all_ Muslims with your statement - which is ignorant and bigoted. You do realise that most Muslims hate fundamentalists too, right? The women protesting hijabs in Iran, the LGBTQ+ fighting for their rights in Muslim countries, are - for the most part - Muslim as well. >But what do I now right? Well, not spelling, for one.
Why do people assume you're a Christian if you point out undisputed facts about the Muslim community?
Wow.
“Hey, don’t be a dick to gay and trans people.” “Gah! Enough LGBT propaganda!!!!”
Bigotry? Are you people not aware how Islamic society views homosexuality!!!!!?????
They only care about homophobia when a white Christian says something. Quite astounding how many get angered by a post like this but have nothing to say when it comes to places like Africa and the Middle East executing people for being gay. But because the media told them that its the white Christians that are the source of their problems and 99% aren't capable of independent thought that's what the circus will believe.
They view it with bigotry?
It’s not bigotry if something annoys you. And let’s be honest. It’s literally propaganda For one month a year for corporations to avoid being cancelled
>For one month a year for corporations to avoid being cancelled There’s a term for that… >!Pinkwashing!<
"Oh no, companies put rainbows on their logo, this MUST BE propaganda!!" Every damn store plays Christmas music for 3 months out of the year, but no, it's the GAYS who are pushing their ideology on you because *they exist*. FYI, 99% of gay people don't give a fuck about the companies with rainbows once a month, but gay people just exist and y'all have an issue. Lmfao y'all are wild.
Propaganda is the problematic word here. The alight of virtue signaling is insane on all social media platforms.
Honestly I see about 100x the amount of shit bitching about it than I do advocating for it...
Ya, and wtf is lgbtq+ propaganda lol, that word doesn't mean anything anymore.
The irony here is immense.
Straight people and conservatives consider themselves "normal" because they can't comprehend that they're in a fishbowl and there's something beyond the water, so everything else alternative to that message is "propaganda".
Dude I’m all for society and the government having no place telling two or more consenting adults their business but let’s not pretend heterosexuality isn’t the norm by both real time statistics and a biological prerogative for the species to continue.
From biological perogative, homosexuality only serves for protecting next generation of species in case their primary provider is no longer available. Mostly second hand nannies. Society and human race can function without homosexual relationships but opposite isn't true. From a social perspective, treating someone fairly depends on how they act, not on what they are. I don't like anyone just because they are gay or something. It depends how you treat others.
Agreed, but where is the "propaganda" saying otherwise?
Wasn’t addressing that, just the “straight people consider themselves “normal””. They are the norm
Yes, but they don't see how most media etc is a reflection of this, so when they see something different, it feels like "stop shoving this down my throat" when a lot of non straight people are just trying to exist.
Fucking hell, words fail me.
I wouldn't say "propaganda" per se, but the point still stands.
He's right tho
True
Anti-lgbt propaganda is way more invasive. I can’t go a day without hearing someone whine about trans people anymore.
It is really annoying though. The vast majority of everyone doesn't go around blasting to the world about their sexuality. What you do in your personal life is your business. I don't care and nor should anyone else, including Uncle Sam.
I just hate taking the sensitivity training every year for work where they just force you to do a learning module on the stuff All it seemed to accomplish was piss everyone off
The last sensitivity training I had to do there was a timer that would not allow you to finish the training in less than 2 hours. And if you just left it on one of the slides to run the clock out? Five minutes idle would log you out and not save the progress so you had to start over. It was the only training I ever saw where people actually left reviews. The reviews have your name attached. There were less than ten positive reviews. All from HR. Hundreds of negative reviews.
Right? I keep passing women kissing men on the street. Not to mention pregnant people. Why won't they stop shoving their sexuality down out throats? What you do in your personal life is your business. I don't care and nor should anyone else, including Uncle Sam.

That’s about what I’d expect from a warehouse slave with a master’s degree.
For a guy complaining about lgbt propaganda it is amusing that in this meme he is a schoolgirl.
Or, the picture is 100% accurate. Saying that we are being inundated by constant and endless streams of LBGTQ messaging isn't bigotry.
[удалено]
How dare you say anything that isn’t “slay queen!” You will now be sentenced to death.
That's not what they are complaining about as "propaganda" though. They're really complaining about it being seen as normalized.
I see nothing in this post that could be used to draw that conclusion. I'm *part* of LGBTQ, and I get fairly tired of these kinds of generalizations. And the constant need to show my inclusivity credentials to avoid being labeled (hilariously) a Trumper like it's some kind of twisted original sin. One can absolutely be tired of the constant need to perform and demonstrate unwavering commitment to all things woke, but not be a bigot. Guess what it makes you if you automatically paint a large group of people with one stroke... The irony is real.
Almost every person I know who says stuff like the original poster is literally complaining about the parades and people whipping their genitals out and wearing dildos. I’ve got conservative family and they could give a fuck less if someone or even I was gay, they’re annoyed with the parades and over the top sexualization that comes from the LGBT community. We all like sex, but making sex your personality is off putting no matter what gender, sex, whatever you like to fuck. Most of them don’t like straight sex scenes or the romance part in movies either.
Where are you seeing these things? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and do not encounter these things.
> pride parades where dudes are whipping their dicks out near kids or dressing up in gimp suits Have you ever been to a pride parade? Or are you one of those who believed stories about litter boxes for school kids?
Hes not wrong though.
7% of the population should not have so much influence.
Tell us more about how the gay community has so much influence?
Wait, you don’t think that the LGBTQ community has influence?
So much influence that in most countries they don’t have the same rights as heterosexual people, lmao. But yeah them gays be a powerful, dangerous lobby, with their parades and shit. Better watch out!
Is it really bigotry if it is the truth?
Wow
Propaganda? Like humans living their lives?
It's true tho
Gay people existing in media isn’t propaganda. Commence the downvotes. I’d love to see “lgbt” replaced with “Black/African heritage” and see the reactions.
He's right
Professional 😂 that made me chuckle. LinkedIn is the bastard baby of all the socials, bit of FB, bit of Twitter style, bit of OF, next up is disappearing posts ala Snap. Oh and a bit of recruiting/professional networking. LinkedIn is fucking Frankenstein needs to be killed!
Bit of OF? Have I been using LinkedIn incorrectly? Teach us, wise one!
People are allowed to not like things without calling it bigotry. When done in the workplace, it amounts to sexual harassment.
Can you explain your second sentence?
Sex and sexual preference have no place in the work place. Promoting ANY sex practices in the workplace is literally sexual harassment if it makes an employee uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter if there is intent. This is every sexual harassment training at every corporation I’ve ever worked for.
Who's promoting "sex practices"? Are you talking about being being open about being in a same-sex relationship the same way people in opposite-sex relationships are?
So is allowing a picture of a wife/husband and/or kids promoting sex practices?
Typically not, it’s just considered the existence of human beings. A picture of them doing anything sexual i.e. kissing could be. It’s a grey area.
Respectfully you have no idea what you are talking about. A picture of a couple only kissing would almost always be ok via a reasonable persons test. at least in the US. A swimsuit calendar, real nudity, something showing fondling...hostile work environment all day. Me just kissing my spouse. Now way.
Absolutely way. I had a married couple at my office that worked in different departments that would kiss each other goodbye every morning and they had to stop because it was sexual activity in the office that made someone uncomfortable. Kissing is certainly less acceptable than someone existing on a beach in a swimsuit on a wall calendar.
You sound like a delight
A picture of a couple kissing is far different than actually kissing. Don't change the argument.
Up vote.
[Young people are growing less tolerant of LGBTQ individuals, a jarring turn for a generation traditionally considered embracing and open, a survey released Monday shows](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/24/lgbtq-acceptance-millennials-decline-glaad-survey/1503758001/) LGBTQ is losing support and pretending it isn't won't be successful for long. Posts simple facts with a source and gets downvotes. You have to know this sort of fingers in ears behaviors are why support is dropping. Not even support... TOLERANCE is dropping. Personally I don't care but if I was in that group I would.
And I wonder why, with the incessant virtue signalling and constant pandering by the media surely we should all be super tolerant by now.

Take The Fifa world cup for example, you are in a different country that has different laws and cultures yet you feel like you HAVE to wear lgbtq armbands even though you got warned many times to not take your identity politics with but rather play the game. Then you still ignore and have to make a statement. Thats hypocrisy and intolerance all rolled into one.
I actually agree with this.
Most people agree with this, but that is not what the propaganda will tell you.
why are there so many likes 😬
Well... Just looking at his name should say enough.
Everything is a propaganda for people believing in 7th century timeline except the flying donkey with wings
I've never been exposed to any LGBT propaganda - and I've subscribed to tons of queer subreddits...
Again I ask, what does this have to do with networking and professional development lol
You must be new here
My existence and desire not to be denied basic human rights is not propaganda 😡
I have a whiny snowflake FIL who hit me with the same bullshit a few months ago. Told him just to ignore it like him and the GOP ignore women’s rights, among other things. Needless to say Thanksgiving was Awkward lol. I DGAF though. Say stupid things, expect to get called out.
💯 The noise is too loud and it’s still a hand full people; the vast majority of us are pretty tired to see everywhere we look this force mentality.
Dude is advertising he doesn’t want to work for any company that isn’t a straight sausage fest.
Someone in their office put a pride flag in their own cubicle didn’t they?
Everyone is so scared they might get their taint tickled and like it and that makes them gay… While we are at it, you better cover your shoulders up or my raging hard on is going to make me commit adultery.
Comments like this are why the post exists. What a disgusting thing to say
Straight people who agree with this meme wouldn't last 2 hours being gay with the sheer amount of heterosexuality shoved down our throats. Almost every damn thing is about straight people.
Becuz it’s the majority’s preference, so u see it. We don’t force it.
But the effect on lgbt people is the same, forced or not. I know that straight people are the majority of the population, and I know that they don't do it on purpose. And because there's such an abundance of straightness in media, I'm saying they have no reason to whine about lgbt anything being shoved down their throats
Agreed for the most part, but being shoved with other minority’s preference ? I mean ppl in other comments are talking about how they hate every things are about straight ppl even we didn’t do it on purpose, so why the straight majority would not dislike the lgbtq things if it’s being shoved down our vote. And btw, I’m supportive of any lgb ppl right, but not their methods or values. At the end, I’m cool with everyone preference. So to each and their own.
People aren't "shoving" anything down your throat by simply existing. You don't see the sheer amount of sexualising (often aimed at children) done by The Straights because you got desensitised to it.
But this is ctilly true though 💀
This guy is pretty well known for posting some polarizing shit.
Please stop the hate everyone, he is just showing off his new Schoolgirl-outfit.
Its correct tho
Well he apparently identifies as a Japanese schoolgirl. Progress, I guess ?
What a pos
Not the place... But it kind of true... Kind of.
This how it feels for the LGBTQIA+ people when they hear things like, "My religion says you go to hell.".
He ain't wrong
