Being part of a minority of people, each of us hear everyday negative jabs, insults and threats. Either directed at ourselves or at our community. We are battling for equality. We want our voices heard. So when the ears open up to what we are saying, do you really want them hearing members of our community bullying and bashing other members of the community? When members of the LGBT community go around degrading subcultures of it, do you think that really help our cause? Bears, Twinks, Chubs, Chasers, Drag Queens, Lesbians, Furries, Trans genders, Bisexuals, Jocks, it doesn't matter. Not one group or subculture is any better than the others. We are all brothers and sisters. We are a family. Now I am not saying we have to get along with every individual. That we need to walk hand in hand singing "We are family.." but we do need to respect each other. If you have a problem with a certain person in the community, don't stereotype the whole sub-set. And why is it that I see more and more that a separation within the community? A shunning if a member of one group is friends with members of another? Is it because you need to act out against the bullying from those in the world who have hurt you? The proverbial shit rolling downhill? It is time to stop it. Of all the people to realize, violence begetting violence is utter nonsense. Show kindness to your brothers and sisters in the community. Show respect. Show we are better than the sum of us. Love to all.
