Why is TSR celebrating gay pride?

Anyway, TSR isn't a news outlet so why does it matter?

I agree with this dude. Realistically, the mods aren't the Stazi. And they're not politically neutral but they've never claimed to be so why should anyone expect it? As long as they enforce the rules fairly.

Its not a celebration of equality though, that's my point.

Because if I make a thread on here saying:

"hmm actually yknow I dont think gay people are that great, here are the reasons 1)...2)....3)"

Something like that is going to be automatically shut down. How is that equality?

You must be some kind of troll

You cannot generalise a whole group of people based on who they decide to be involved with romantically. So your "reasons" would not be against the gay people themselves but the fact that they decide to love who they want to love which is something you are able to do freely so why would you take away someone else's right to do the same?

No, that's completely different. Given slavery still occurs making an effort to stop it is obviously necessary, but:

a) Stopping it is specifically the job of the law/legal system, not political parties
b) it is not necessary to have a political stance that slavery is bad, when the law says its illegal.




TSR is a pretty significant intellectual resource, if not the most important resource, for the many of the young minds in this country.

Not sure about you, but to me that matters.

Take a more nuanced example.

I make a thread about how the Israeli government is evil and how Palestine are the real victims and all the crimes they'd committed against the Palestinian people. I base my entire post on facts & link to sources.

Some Zionist on here gets triggered emotionally, reports my post, and it gets deleted or heavily edited due to it being classified as "inflammatory hate speech".

Situations like that often happen on this website, because the mods will often castrate you if have opinions that remotely deviate from "la di da political correctness, and acceptance of everyone and everything"

But if you're not allowed to not like something, how is that acceptance of everyone and everything?

So campaigns against modern slavery are politically unnecessary? No, the legality is irrelevant.

Also, using your logic:

If it's ok to fly a gay pride banner at the top of the website, why would it not be ok to fly a Union Jack with the slogan "Britain for British People"?

Its not hate speech. It is possible to be against something based on very real facts about that thing.

I agree

Being Bisexual TSR should be unbiased, yes support it but any negative but constructive critisms will be erased or disallowed (I hope they prove me wrong)

It's not the fact that an opinion is shown that's the issue, it's the nature of the opinion

I am saying lets say I am the owner of TSR, and I stick a gay pride banner at the top of the site and nobody has a problem with it. But if I was to make it a Union Jack saying "Britain for British People", there would definitely be complaints from the users on here.

But being pro gay rights is as much a divisive political statement as being anti-foreign is. There are a great number who will agree & disagree on the point, for both issues.

But if I make a threading saying "yeah gay pride FTW <3 <3 <3" it will be fine, yet if I make a thread saying "We need to reduce the influence of foreigners in the UK" it will likely end up being heavily policed / edited by the mods.

Celebrating LGBT rights now is the same as celebrating women's suffrage in the early twentieth century or African-American Civil Rights in the 1960s. It might be 'political' now but it is/will be another dimension of Western democracy and values and will not be disputed in the future.

Maybe because it's racist/xenophobic/whatever? At least a pride flag is a positive symbol.

lol, that's exactly my point mate.

A gay pride flag is not a positive symbol to a lot of people, e.g. everyone that's Christian.
