WTF's gone wrong with this world and why does the LGBQT+ need to have special rights? I understand that they can be and are probably mistreated in the past but so are other minority groups. I see an issue if someone is being discriminated against based on race, ethnicity, or the color of their skin but LGBQT+ is more of a sexual lifestyle. Currently, it's social media pressure to do a role reversal and to get mass shaming on people who don't agree. It's really a shame that people require social media to shame one another. What letters are we gonna add to it next - P? Anyone's social lifestyle should be a private matter. I don't really care if you're a heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, or whatever sexual fantasies you have, this is a lifestyle you're comfortable with and it should be between you and the other person. No one else needs to know. And of course, children shouldn't be exposed to any sexual ideologies until they're mature enough to handle this.

I'm going to assume you haven't read every post in this thread, so I'm going to cover some territory that already been discussed to answer your question.
It's not about 'special rights' of a marginalized group over the majority. If anyone feels threated by the making of space (as a result of decades of activism by the marginalized) because it's challenge to the status quo in which they benefit from, then equality never actually existed. Not to mention about a lifetime ago it was illegal to be gay. You even say that Queer folks who identify as Queer aren't 'normal' which therefore sets them apart and leads to further marginalization. Being Queer isn't a lifestyle. Like Race it's something you're born with and in some cases, it takes years to work out for yourself as a result of all the oppression around you.
I encourage you to go a few pages back as myself and other posters have unpacked some of the harmful assumptions in your post.
And furthermore Sex is a part of human life. Say thing it's something that's dirty or should be shunned also does incredible harm. No matter orientation someone has. Purity Culture hurts everyone.
