It's ironic that many Trump supporters call us snowflakes when we stand up against them for supporting Trump's racism, sexism, LGBTQ hate and more. They say we're being over-sensitive and that they're only using freedom of speech. Yet, when we choose to unfriend people supporting disgusting views, they whine about us being "bullies" for not respecting their opinions.
But is freedom of speech only for Trump supporters?
I'm old enough to decide who I'm friends with or not. That doesn't make me a bad person. I can work with people of different opinions, and be friends with some of them, but there is a limit for me. Especially, as a gay man, I take offence in people voting for someone who's made it so much worse for people like me.
Biden may not be perfect, but I can not be friends with people who vote for a man like Trump. He is a racist, sexist, bigot and his followers seem to believe all of his lies. But we're not allowed to tell them so or unfriend them for voting for hate, then we are mean people.
It's clear to me that Trump supporters are the snowflakes in this world.

When anti-racists behave badly
It's so sad when people you've looked up to, who say that they are against racism and injustices, use words like "retard" and "gay" to make fun of people they dislike, like Donald Trump and his supporters for example.
Don't get me wrong. I think that Trump is awful. A clown and a bigot. And I'm not fond of his supporters either. But calling him a "retard" is just as bad as when Trump made fun of a reporter who was disabled. It sends out the wrong message and makes you look silly.
Sadly, when I called them out for it, saying they should know better, I got a condescending reply and the typical comment: "But you should be able to joke about everything."
Well, feel free to call me a "snowflake" all you want (like Trump supporters often do when they are criticised for being offensive), but I disagree. I think that gay and disabled people should have the interpretive precedence when it comes to these cases.
Like I said, I can't stand Trump and I think his supporters are selfish to ignore all his bigotry. But I wouldn't make jokes about them that put minorities down. It's much more intelligent to criticise people for their actions and stupid ideas instead of personal attacks that just spread more hate towards minorities.

Mean gays
Some gays can be really mean, which is sad, because it would be so much better if we LGBTQ people supported each other instead. But I guess it's an insecurity, putting others down to cope with having been discriminated and bullied yourself. Spread love instead of bitchiness.
And to clarify: I'm not talking about all gay guys. I have many wonderful gay friends too. It's just sad that many gays, especially online, can be so mean to others in the community. Being bitchy is not cool in my eyes.

Don't miss mine and Larry Forsberg's synthpop project Eurotix's new EP including "We Could Have Been (New Version)", a brand new italo disco version of the fan favourite track, with stronger re-recorded vocals to match the new tempo of the track. Classic italo disco meets Stock Aitken Waterman in this anthem.
The EP also includes three bonus tracks: a new remix of the popular 2015 album track "The Innocent Years", the robotic track "This Is Not A Hostile Takeover" and finally a cover version of "Let's Go To Bed" by The Cure.
"We Could Have Been (New Version)" tracklist:
1. We Could Have Been (New Version)
2. The Innocent Years (Remix)
3. This Is Not A Hostile Takeover
4. Let's Go To Bed
Please support our music by buying or streaming the new EP, out on Bandcamp (supports the artist), iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon UK, Amazon US and many other digital music stores.
Note that the "New Version" tag fell off the track on some stores. But the correct title of track 1 is "We Could Have Been (New Version)", so it won't be confused with the original version.
