RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I don’t know where to put this.

I’m a bicurious/hetero young white woman with Christian white parents. My dad found out I support gay rights despite identifying as straight. He didn’t really like that I have a Hispanic fiancé (he was okay with it, but he was like “you could do better, come on.”)

He called me a “leftist lib” because I support interracial marriages, gay marriages, trans rights, etc. How can you use supporting these things an insult though??

I also really want acceptance as someone who is neurodivergent and has seen neurodivergent people and minorities be bullied/discriminated against and also has been bullied themself.

Can I know too, please? Exactly what did I say that was so crazy? That magas don't consider inmigrants as people? Well mate, I hate to break it to you but that's the truth. Magas don't see an inmigrant as a person, which is why they don't give a fuck to them being deported to El Salvador. It's a hard to swallow pill, but that's how it is. Blame magas, and ask them what are they smoking, don't go against me for simply stating the truth about them.

And read some of my comments in this post, so you can, maybe, get some context about my views on magas before going all-out against me.

Ohhh, I see it now? He is saying that MAGA sees the left as an out of group and MAGA is filled of hate?

I think you two aren't reading usernames and not realizing that the other are not me

Why are you going from leftists don't see anyone as possible to MAGA doesn't see immigrants are people. Again what are you smoking?
