So it's not specifically directed at trans* people, it's directed at gays. But still. It pissed me off.

QuoteI am sorry to inform you that your gay experiment won't have a future. Please try to understand this. It was fun for a while, like watching weird looking animals in a zoo, but only as long as you were hiding and not showing your affection to the same sex in public. Years ago, homosexuality was merely the base for novels or movies. But now that you are demanding equal rights, we straight people have to face a real problem. You are naughty and greedy. You have overdone things. And because you demand too much, you won't get anything.
There can be a feeling of profound friendship between two members of the same sex, yes, but never love. Never ever. You can be friends with another girl. But you can never ever love another girl. That's not possible. There is a reason why two sexes (male and female) exist.
I have to say that you don't understand what you and your fellow homosexuals are trying to do. You want to question what we straight people value: marriage between a man and a woman, adoption rights, sociall/tax benefits for husband and wife, the safety a normal family can provide for their children and many other things.
I want to say that I will use every legal measure to keep off homosexual people from having equal rights.
There isn't an endless amount of human rights available, we have to deploy our resources carefully and wisely.
Eventually you will understand this one day.
It is unbelievable how you, the LGBTQ people think that your sexual orientation could ever be socially accepted. It is such a miscalculation to assume that you would ever be equal. You can never expect that. Never ever. I will take every legal measure to fight you, I will try to avoid contact with you in real life. I don't want to be touched by you (e.g. by shaking hands), I don't want to sit next to you in a bus, I don't want you in or near my family. I might have already met gay people, that's why we need some sort of worlwide database where all the LGBTQ people are listed. So that we normal (=straight) people can avoid you.
There are things in the world that are just not okay. Being gay is one of them. I would love to be able to avoid you, but even in my peaceful, normal city there was a "Pride" this summer, a LGBTQ march for equal rights. How dare you to claim that homosexuality is normal.
Most straight people don't show openly their aversion for you, but that doesn't mean that they approve your lifestyle. Straight people might not beat you up, they might even talk and smile to you, but only on the outside. On the inside they wait until the laws that protect you will become invalid and then...dare you.
If you can't conform to our (straight) society, you won't be a part of our society.
We will get rid of the gays. One way or another.
We can't allow gay people to go for their sexual orientation. If everyone did what gays do, the world would turn into chaos. Even to imagine how two girls/two guys make out is unbearably disgusting.
As soon as scientists will find the "gay gene", there won't be any gay babies anymore in this world. Then we can get rid of the gays from the very beginning.
LGBTQ people won't have a future, that's why they should become normal immediately.
And because only 2-3% of all people are gay, we can abandon them. The world population is already large enough, why should we keep the gays alive?
It isn't anything personal, it's just a job.
Please try to understand that this is necessary.
Homosexuality is, like pedophilia, an abnormal sexual behaviour. A disability. A flaw. Something you HAVE to fight.
If you can't control your emotions then you're - excuse my language - ->-bleeped-<-ed.
Discipline, self control, rational thoughts should always dominate your mind.
I'm not very religious, and I don't know what God wants. We just have to deal with the facts: why are far more than 90% of all people straight? Because we are RIGHT and you homosexuals are WRONG.
The reason why you are gay is that you want attention, or you want to find an excuse why you can't live your life to the fullest, or why you don't need to reproduce, maybe you even want to find a reason to sue your former employer for firing you. Then you tell everyone 'Oh it's because I'm gay, he/she fired me because of this!'
Your wrong sexual orientation disgusts me to no end.
Suppressing your wrong feelings for the same sex and your abnormal libido, that's what you should do. It's a matter of discipline. Until scientists will find a medicine that helps against homosexuality, you gay people are on your own to fight it. Because it is you who are causing the problem.
Never forget: as long as you are gay, you are a lesser human being. You are weak and vulnerable. We normal (=straight) people can do with you whatever we want to.
Soon you will be very sorry for who you are. You will apologise to all of us normal people.

Ahh the rambling warble of the lesser spotted fraidy bigot....

It might sound a little strange but (assuming it's not a windup) I actually pity them. It takes a true effort to wall yourself off from people to that extent, to be able to blankly assume that everyone else thinks and feels the way you do about anything.

Granted, I think there is a sizeable chunk of humanity that shares parts, and in some cases all, of this persons particular...view.. on sexuality, but this one is so far gone that they'd be honestly shocked and uncomprehending if they met a 'normal' person who took serious exception to them on this.... which would be a majority of people they pass on the street every day.

Pretty much Tl;dr after I got the gist in the first couple of sentences.
That deserves a WOT gif:

i now understand the point of trigger warnings
i'm unemployed with just a few months of money left
i'm mid transition in a state with no laws protecting me from discrimination
i self medicate just to try and feel a little like myself
and people hate that i exist

Sometimes, society makes me want to curl up in a ball and forget that anything but me exists.

I hope this person is willing to fight to the DEATH.  Because I am.

I wish there was a cure for straight people idiots.

Wow that dude is a nut job.

It's not just your friend getting the letter.  I have seen this exact same letter before.  It has been making the rounds around tumblr and twitter both.  I personally haven't gotten it but I know a few transmen who have. 

It's just a bunch of nonsense thrown together and being used to intimidate people.  The best thing you can do is not to let it. 

They are going to be targeting all those who were born left handed next 

Only a minority percentage of the world has Down's Syndrome. That's because they're WRONG and anyone without a mental handicap is RIGHT. I think there should be a list of people with Down's Syndrome so I can avoid them. [/sarcasm]

Classic self-hating, self-loathing homo(sexual). The most dangerous kind of person our community faces, if met face to face.

Maggot with interthingy access. One day it will pupate to be a blow fly and deposit its crap somewhere else.

Cindy

Yeah but hopefully not in Cindy's or Michelle's or any of our friends food.

This person is a...

This is why Iceland which is one of the top four countries for glbt rights has sunk into the sea...

... oh wait...

that's so weird, but i see it a lot lately. it's always the same "argumentation" and i'm getting really sick of it. it's like people with that mindset are spawning everywhere. you're harmlessly chatting on some movie or videogame board and BAM cue mindless idiot repeating the same stupid phrases over and over. while the majority of people seem to be equipped with a reasonable amount of common sense, they just stand no chance against these opinion-robots. duh. hate it.

tl;dr
it's no secret that tumblr is a home to a lot of trolls

Most of the article is so idiotic that I assume this is just some troll who had too much time on his hands.

He, or she, should control their own 'emotions'. Pedophilia needs to be fought because involves an innocent and naive child. Homosexuality is between two consenting adults, and nobodies business but their own.

That Cynthia said. A total crackpot, and probably deep in the closet, too.

People like this are the reason I learn karate. One day I might need it, and it's not going to be me bleeding in a heap on the floor if I can help it.

especially the phedophilia thing is quite amusing (in the given context of course) because it's relatively easy to talk them into admiting phedophilia might be less wrong then homosexuality, because it can actually produce offspring, which would be another pointer for "naturalness".... that's usually the point where they snap and lose their pseudo-intellectualism and become flat-out insulting...
hm, it's kinda sad that i find that amusing, but maybe i'm a bad person.

This "letter" is typical of the anti-gay bigotry that is promoted by the "religious" right wing anti-gay hate groups like the Traditional Values Coalition, Family Research Council and the Concerned Women of America.  I've seen a lot of the same kind of vile lies and denigration in other forums, particularly in TOPIX.

It's designed to get people angry, of course, and is a definite attempt to troll.  I was tempted to delete it out of hand but decided to leave it as it's a good example of the hate that some people still harbor for same sex attracted people and for trans people too, since they make no distinction between the two groups.  Countering the false charges in this rant with dispassionate logic and facts should be pretty easy.  Is anyone up to the task?
