    Your howling reminds me words of Lenin. He opposed banning of religious minded people from party as that means keeping a huge lot of workers outside party. But, at the same time, he advised to take cautious steps in this regard. His basic formulation is when you enter the party, your first identity should be as a worker and keep the religious and other identities outside door.
    If you consider yourself a worker and LGBT together, there is no problem. But, the main point which identity you want to put first, the LGBT identity or the worker identity. They cannot always stay side by side.
    We all belong to the broad working class. Some of us belong to specially oppressed communities and those issues need to be dealt with. I don't see how you aren't understanding this.

    I have talked about choosing sex partners, not on the type of relationship. In fact, if you ask me, it's certainly a matter of choice. Being a male, if I choose a woman, I am heterosexual and if I choose a man, I am homosexual. The matter what I choose is a totally different issue.

    Why not? There is certainly some reasons there.
    I have said that homosexuality is often (not always) choice of circumstances. I hope you can differ between that. Certainly there can be people who can be attracted towards same sex like people who can be attracted towards animals and there are many such tendencies exist today. I first want to be focused on the general and much more common points first and special cases later, that's my view.
    You have been infracted for this post.

    I also care about my fucking basic rights too and it makes me angry when a huge lot of resources are wasted just for the sake of 10% while the rest still deprived of many rights.
    I don't fucking care what LGBT people want to do and their supporters support them. I want my rights to established first, the very basic rights of all humanity.
    Why don't make a separate website or thread and accumulate all LGBT supporters there and exchange all your shits there. I don't want to go there to disturb and being disturbed.
    And you're banned for this one.

    I consider myself to be a part of working class, not something outside.
    Sure. But you, and the rest of the working class, have the power to abolish all oppressive relations associated with capital - because we recreate them. There's no dichotomy between LGBT issues and fighting capital.

    Why does he think his rights are more important than anybody else's rights? I mean it's only a right if everybody has it.

    As Billy Bragg said, "Let racist ignorance be ended as respect for the empires fall, Freedom is meerly a privelage extended unless enjoyed by one and all!"

    "[I]t’s hard to keep potent historical truths bottled up forever. New data repositories are uncovered. New, less ideological, generations of historians grow up. In the late 1980s and before, Ann Druyan and I would routinely smuggle copies of Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution into the USSR—so our colleagues could know a little about their own political beginnings.”
