It is no different than "disagreeing" with black people or men. You're not having a difference of opinion. You aren't debating tax rates. You're being a hateful jerk and are functionally identical to racists and sexists. There aren't equally valid opposing opinions on someone's physical existence. If you wouldn't like to hear a generalization about your sex or race, then don't say it about someone's orientation or gender identity.

It's also pride month. Let's say there was some who might I dunno, call a gay murder victim a rapist based on the murderer's word alone? Well, they'd come off really, really badly. Especially if they then went on to say that LGBT people shouldn't get emotional over that.

Thankfully, anyone who would be that tactless would likely end up warned.

The title confused me at first but it's clear from their post that they're talking about people who say "I don't agree with homosexuality" (or transgender or whatever else) meaning that they disapprove of gay people

I see it, and it implies a meaning, though I do think it would be productive if they were super precise in their meaning.

Or alternatively, I hope TC is saying "it is ok to disagree with people, but it is wrong to reject their humanity".

Oh ffs. There is no "disagreeing with gay people". When you say you don't agree with LGBT people, you don't agree with their existence, their identity and their humanity. You don't agree with something they didn't choose.

I know you're trying very hard to interpret as "disagreeing with someone who happens to be gay on a separate issue" but you know wtf TC meant.

No, I didn't. And other people didn't too. The topic title is ambiguous if not willfully so.

It is a weird way to say it to say "you shouldn't disagree with a gay person" to mean "you shouldn't believe gay people aren't allowed to be gay."

If I went around saying "never disagree with tall people" I doubt anybody would interpret that to mean "don't say tall people shouldn't be allowed to be tall".

What's the point of phrasing it in a weird way? Why not just say 'Reminder: Denying an LGBT persons identity is morally repugnant'?

That's far more clear. The way it's phrased is needlessly ambiguous and I'm not sure that wasn't somehow the point.

Disagreeing with LGBT people is fine, disagreeing that they have a right to be LGBT is not fine.

Ellen is LGBT, I disagree with her on things. Anderson Cooper is LGBT, I disagree with him on things. etc

That is literally what homophobic people say all the fucking time. "I don't agree with the gays". "I don't agree with their lifestyle".

TC is paraphrasing them.

Notice how you had to say "I don't agree with their lifestyle" for it to kinda sound like something people say?

I really don't think many homophobic people go around saying "I don't agree with gay people." They say homophobic shit like "Gayness is wrong" or "I don't believe somebody should be gay".

I honestly don't think I've ever heard somebody say "I don't agree with X people" to mean "I reject somebody's right to be X" or "I don't respect the humanity of X people."

Be honest. Have you?

Joe I don't understand what you gain out of pretending to be dense

Yes, homophobic people say "I don't agree with the gays" on social media all the time. Do you need people to screenshot every little thing homophobes say?

You've seen somebody say "I don't agree with LGBT people" on social media before?

I did a twitter advanced search and I see several people saying it as a thing others say but I only see 1 person actually maybe saying that sentence to mean what OP implies it means. The search results seem to go back years so, I don't think it's at all nearly as common as is being implied.

I don't think most people would construct the sentence like that and I think it is unclear. However it does seem there is some evidence that OP might have heard from other like minded people that "this is how bigots talk" or something, because while it doesn't seem like anybody actually talks like that, there does seem to be a bunch of people who assert that's how people talk.

So I no longer thing it was likely deliberately phrased in an unclear way.

The specific statement you'll get results for is "I don't agree with the lgbt lifestyle", but also the OP is still quite clear in intention.

NGL, I recognize TC, they can be bad faith sometimes, and so I had a hunch that the ambiguity of the topic title was for some reason intentional.

From the OP the meaning is understandable. I'll just attribute the weird wording to the flaws in precision of second-hand bigotry and let it go.

Yes, it is ok to disagree with people on an individual level for opinionated matters. But if you are offended by the existence of gay people and disagree with them having every right you do, then you are exactly the same as a racist. It boils my bones when I see people who claim homophobia is somehow different and more morally justifiable than racism. They'll say something like "Gay people weren't slaves" or "You can't hide skin color". I've seen people on this very site get offended at the comparison.

Also, remember when you called me a bad faith poster while accusing me of hating straight people?

I didn't accuse you of hating straight people, I said you sounded a lot like the kind of people who traumatized my friend and convinced him to hate himself because he was a straight white male, and then you mocked him and called him stupid for actually listening to them.

So like, you are far from empathetic in that department.

But as far as I have seen you have never explicitly said you hate straight people.

If I had to guess, I'd guess you'd be the type of person to say "most every problem in society can be traced back to straight white men". but you can correct me if I'm wrong in that speculation.

I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't generalize an entire race or orientation, since that would be bigoted. I also wouldn't say "I disagree with straight, white men" if I mean "I disagree with Tom Hanks' favorite chili recipe"

But you can disagree with all of them? I don't know about you, but I never say "I disagree with this group of people" if I mean "I disagree with some individuals that are within said group on various matters." The only assumption that can be made when one disagrees with LGBT people is that the person is homophobic, since there is no singular mind to disagree with.
