      IDAHOBIT is a very simple cause. The idea is not to hate people. The idea that somehow queer people are causing homophobia by being "victims" is disgusting

      Its an unnecessary simple cause - where is the 'phobia' & struggling' ? There will always be a minority of bigots. No one group is ever going to get 100% approval. ID's accomplish nothing. We now seem to have an entire society of perpetual victims, all vying for attention

      ~1 in 5 LGBT+ have been assaulted for their sexuality/gender. They are at more than 10x increased risk of mental health disorders, largely due to discrimination There are perhaps places you could argue that people are victimizing themselves. This is not one

      I wasn't arguing that they're victimising themselves-More that Corbyn&his ilk are creating a society where we're being taught to look upon gays,trans,etc as victims of phobias. This is ridiculous. Name one right these people dont have. They cant demand 100% approval,no one can

      "Rights" is an amazingly ignorant way to look at it. As if legality were the only possible way in which to discriminate against people It's incredibly simple: either you support IDAHOBIT, or you support homophobia. It is, very simply, a day against these prejudices

      I don't care who people sleep with, identify as, most people don't care either. I also don't want to be told what i can & cant disapprove of - labelling someone as 'phobic' is a nice ploy to try to manipulate people into 'correct think', but it doesn't wash with me.

      You can disapprove of whatever you like As I said, rather simple. Either you support hate or you don't. Sounds like you support it fulsomely

      I'm not saying you have to agree with anything. I'm saying there's a fairly simple aim of IDAHOBIT - it is a day against hate. You can either support that or disparage it, and by doing either you are clearly picking a side

      And the truly astonishing viewpoint that somehow having a day to support LGBT+ people against hate somehow causes homophobia or victimhood is pretty boringly wrong

          LGBTs are no more victims of 'hate' than heterosexuals are.Why do we need 'Days'?Laws are in place to protect all citizens from all crimes&when did 'not supporting 'Days', turn into ''hatred' & 'phobias'? Its insulting to gays in countries where they face real hatred

          Saying that LGBT people are not victims of hate is simply ignorant. I suggest you investigate some of the stats This is a good place to start: https://lgbtihealth.org.au/statistics/
