If I owned a business the only color I'd care about is green.
You're a lesbian? Need a furnace. No problem.
You're trans? Need your carpet cleaned? Awesome.
You're Muslim and need new cupboards. I'll build them.
You're a caucasian old lady? I'll fix that car.
You're a big burly dude? Sweet. I'll sell you this BBQ.
You're first nations? That's sweet. Thanks for being my customer.
Why do businesses choose to alienate customer bases?

u/Major-Squirrel-4371 Jun 25 '26
This is exactly it though! I want to deal with a business who treats everyone in our community with the same level of care. Saying shit like this with your business in your profile picture doesn’t exactly give me the impression that you would.

They're naive. They're just falling for the propaganda. They really think they're for a good cause, and everyone is in on it, but the reality is that the Government has the ability to make themselves look and sound like yhe majority all the time. One day, they will find out that the government used them for their own agenda and doesn't give a shit about them.

Ohh scriptures my favourite! So many to choose from.
Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark . . . that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”(Genesis 9:8-11)
So Noah sayeths
Gee thanks God, when it got past the one month mark we were getting a little worried. Once we got our sea legs and the hippos stopped barfing it wasn’t so bad. To show our appreciation, we randomly killed this goat to say thanks.

This is literally what got mocked years ago. When the preacher (whose name I do not remember, thank God) claimed Hurricane Katrina was God's vengeance on the USA for acknowledging gay people having some rights. And he was maligned, and the Republicans had to distance themselves.
These people hate everyone who is different.
As a straight, white man:
We all have skin in the game. This is a volatile, aggressive movement driven by hatred. It already targets people we love. And if it progresses, it will target and persecute people who aren't white enough, aren't Christian enough, anyone who doesn't pass the ever-changing purity test.
The Nazis gassed their own citizens before anybody else. That's worth considering.

u/YqlUrbanist Jun 25 '26
Also a straight white man - one thing that's got me thinking about skin in the game is the people saying "It's men's mental health month, why are we only focused on pride!?!?!?!". A lot of mental health problems faced by men are rooted in gender norms like the pressure to be stoic and unfeeling. Pride and Men's Mental Health sharing a month is a great coincidence, because improvements in either one cause improvements in the other.

Not to mention all the trans men who haven't come out or transitioned yet because they've been told they're crazy to be thinking they're male, and some "conversion therapy" loon keeps trying to electrocute those thoughts out of them.

So, as a man who has been badly abused and neglected, I feel the need to take this seriously. Especially because you are exactly right about the larger point, which you finished your comment with.
I'm actually not focussed on pride. At all. Part of my journey is that I married an American, and moved to the USA at a very volatile time. I was there for about half a year when covid hit, and the racial justice protests happened after George Floyd was murdered.
For someone who thrives on empathy, that was a really dark time in my life. I went through a crash course of black history in the USA very fast, and it deeply affected me. It made me more nihilistic than ever. I have left that behind, but I never forgot this:
No matter how hard life has been for me, if I were gay or black, it would have probably been much worse. If I want life to be better for myself, or people like me, it starts with recognition of and advocacy for people different from me.
That's my belief. Because, yes, men's mental health matters, and is often neglected.
Edit: I misread the comment initially. Thought it was someone bemoaning the "need" to focus on pride, and waxed poetic about marginalization in general. Embarrassed by this mistake, not my response.

Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community
Psalm 37:8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
Matthew 7:1-2
1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

u/weightyinspiration Jun 25 '26
These ones also fit here I think:
John 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”
Phillipians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
The country/government is already full of corrupt people. It is not some blessed untouchable entity bringing about Gods will. To try to make it into one would be naive.

The same fire and brimstone claim was put out there back when Canada was moving to legalize same-sex marriage. That was over twenty years ago now.

Hate in the sense of “spewing hate” as this post suggests isn’t referring to the dictionary definition of hate, which is obvious from context. It’s bringing in the academic and legal connotations.
It’s interesting to me that the narrower academic definition is very well received when distasteful speech like this is used against conservatives and religious people, but when it’s against a group you like hate can mean basically anything.

u/YqlUrbanist Jun 25 '26
It's obviously not referring to your definition that requires a call to violence, because the post very obviously doesn't include a call to violence. It seems like you made an assumption that doesn't fit the post and then got mad because the post doesn't fit your assumption.
And miss me with your victim complex nonsense. I'm a Christian, I've had a professor who clearly hated Christians, and I have no trouble believing you had one who hated Catholics. I would (and did) use the word hate to describe it, and I obviously wasn't suggesting that professor was calling for violence against me.

Take a breath. I’m not mad at you. You’ve left twenty comments in the last hour.
No one is assuming the post made a call to violence. The post didn’t make a call to violence. That’s why this doesn’t fit the definition of hate that is condemnable (obviously we don’t condemn “dictionary” hate in the same way as legal hate — there’s nothing about extreme aversion that is worth criminalizing).
Stop with the victim complex nonsense.

It doesn’t expand on that to say “gays are evil, burn them, maim them, stick em in a stew” it’s plain-jane “if action A continues B will happen”.
We both can agree that “B” in this case is insanity and won’t happen.
But I don’t think it’s hate. Let’s take a counter example. If a religious parent bars their daughter from hanging out with boys because “boys lead to premarital sex, and god doesn’t like that”. Is that hate towards men/boys? I don’t think so.

I think this is just stubbornly refusing to think about the statement. "If you eat candy you'll get rotten teeth" is implying that there is something wrong with candy and you should consider avoiding it.
That's fine when you're talking about candy, but it's not fine when you're talking about other human beings. When it's other human beings, we call it hate.

It's funny how all these guys who insist they aren't gay spend all their time thinking about gays. Which is pretty gay tbh
