Boycotting large cooperate businesses never work well for those who work for them, meaning the smaller guy. You end up hurting the employees, who many maybe gay themselves, but any way, it's up to you on how you resolve it. I personally do go and not ashamed of it, even as a pansexual women. I don't go so much but I do enough to enjoy every so many months.

I do agree with you on this to some degree. For me I don't see Taylor Swift being anti LGBTQ.... however, I also see the concern. I did find a video that is interesting and I agree with a lot of it.

I wasn't expecting it to get that way, considering it is a very swore subject for me. But yeah,I have no hard feelings. People have different experiences and opinions.That is life.

Agreed with you there.The fact many don't understand Pride month is scary.

Statistics don't give you straight up facts. Not everything is reported or recorded and many "statistics" have been known to lie to prevent further information. Yes,every group can be discriminated against, but in reality there will always be more groups discriminated against more so then others. It is not an out right lie. Experiencing things also puts things into perspective. I dealt with watching racism, violence, friends dying, suicide etc.... All of which may not have been reported as such. I know things that also get covered up, experienced that before.

I will say this, statistics is only one half of the debate, there is more too it then that. Anecdotal evidence also becomes a point, as well as context of crime and the amount of the crime rising year after year. You can't rely on statistics for real life situations. Statistics can say a lot of things but the reality of it is far different. Any person can state statistics, but living it, seeing it and hearing stories from countless others should also play a factor. Relying on statistics does not help anyone who has suffered. Its like with abortion, people claim a low percentage of those obtaining abortions are actually raped,the problem is many women who are raped do not always come forward out of fear and embarrassment. It is still a stigma to be raped and trust me as a survivor of rape, I know that stigma all to well. Statistics is only what is recorded, it is not the full facts of a situation. There is context of crimes, violence unrecorded and not even reported that is also a factor.

So,your saying transgenders are not being attacked at all and violence is not happening? They make up a small amount but being trans comes with violence, death and hatred. It is not false, and no they are not a safe group to be involved in. I don't know how old you are or the experiences you have, not only that meeting transgender folks around the world who speak about their problems. It is more then just a handful. Statistics only show a small percentage, many of which don't report or go unnoticed. Having been active in the LGBTQ community for nearly 25 plus years, having multiple friends and knowing many who have been killed or suffered violence, it doesn't matter what you say. Violence exist within that community and sadly it will continue to exist until people start respecting each other. I live closet to Philadelphia with a huge LGBTQ community, and even then it isn't always safe. I know people who also involved in the Stonewall riots. http://news.trust.org/item/20181120075803-0k6vn/' When you also have deaths happening in a short period of time, that is a problem. It doesn't matter if it was 2, it is still a problem regardless of what you may say. It's also rising, which says a lot. It doesn't how small the numbers, it is the context of those crimes that matter. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/16/health/transgender-deaths-2018/index.html I have a question, ever been to a transgender funeral where people have come out to protest and scream they deserve to die?I have.

By the way,I am pansexual,have dated transgender women, transgender men, women etc.... Currently in a relationship with a man, but being pansexual I don't view things the same way. I am also 34 years old and have experienced friends being abused,beaten and nearly killed for being transgender. I have also experienced it for dating someone who is transgender and nearly was shot. It may seem like a small amount, but it is happening today. People don't generally kill, but there has been harassment and death that been occurring for whatever reason. So, what you are saying is being transgender is safe and no one is being hurt for it? lol.... I am sorry, that's funny. Statistics doesn't show the true violence that does happen. It is not only in America, but world wide as well.

Napoleon Dynamite was my absolute hated film. I get what it was and I get its dry, some what dark humor, but it wasn't funny nor was it good to not be able to tell what decade it was. It drove me crazy and the dryness of it was gag worthy. I also hated the new Power Ranger movie. It was not good at all.

Music has always been involved in Politics and Religion, because it is an art form.Yes, some artist don't do it, but that's their opinion. It wasn't really political. LGBTQ issues are human rights, which for me is not political, but more of a need in society. Transgender women of color are being killed for defending themselves against hatred. The problem with the LGBTQ community is they became too politically correct with the younger generation. They see everything as wrong, whether is be gay lingo to people like Ru Paul whose opinion is different. They forget the Stone wall riots, which was promoted by music and a lot of other avenues. Drag also being a political motive. Almost all forms of art are political. Whether Taylor Swift is truly part and supportive of the LGBTQ community is really not for anyone to say but her. She doesn't really talk politics or show off that she sends money to organizations, which is one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't situations. No matter what an artist does, no one will be truly happy. And artist can give their entire fortune to support a cause and still people will criticize. My suggestion is embrace it, show case it and just allow it to be an anthem, verses finding a negative out look on everything. I rather embrace it as a pansexual women, then totally disregard it and try to create negative drama. Remember this, look up Stonewall riots. It's why we have this month. Transgender women, especially of color are being killed. I have many friends who are transgender who I worry about daily. Its a scary time, even if it gotten some what better. People hate when anyone fights for any rights.

Hello, I am Nicole and I am from New Jersey. I been a fan of My little Pony since it first launched when I was about 2 or 3 years old. I collected the original ponies and even to this day I collect the new ponies (but not as much as I use too). My favorite is Twilight Sparkle but I also love Rainbow Dash. I seem to collect more of Rainbow Dash lol.... Anyway, hope to see you all around.
