subjected to very real threats of violence and actual physical violence at alarming rates on a daily basis might have legitimate concerns here, isn't it?

I'm assuming you are not LGBT, and not subject to the daily threat of unprovoked violence that we are, because you dismiss dbackjon's concerns so readily and aggressively.

All LGBT persons have to face the possibility of some crazed violent conservative wacko attacking us at any moment.

I've seen "drama" used to label LGBT concerns here a few times in the last few days. Is this some new and approved meme for LGBT concerns?

We give AF.

We take any and all signs of hate and possible potential violence against LGBT persons very seriously. If you can not respect the concerns of our members, please refrain from posting in this group.

Thank you.
