" Heterosexual people are not out to make homosexual people's lives a living hell."
This is demonstrably not true.
Every frickin' time a homosexual person is bashed or killed, the thug is condemned for their act. Hardly anyone in the modern society cheers on the actions of a thug who bashes someone for being a homosexual. I have not done the research on statistics regarding this, but I would guess that homosexuals are more likely to be victims of crime. And I would assume that much of these crimes against homosexuals are probably drug-related.
So you stupidly assume gay people take drugs. When the reason they were killed is their sexuality, you think we should shut up about it?
You stupidly imply that gay people are above reproach. And to imply that gay people do not take drugs would fly in the face of research.
Quote:Substance Use
Studies have shown that, when compared with the general population, gay and bisexual men, lesbian, and transgender individuals are more likely to:
Use alcohol and drugs,
Have higher rates of substance abuse,
Not withhold from alcohol and drug use, and
Continue heavy drinking into later life.

Or you can use an Australian source:
Quote:Unlike smoking and drinking alcohol at risky levels, recent use of illicit drugs has not declined among people who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual between 2010 and 2019. In 2019, 2 in 5 (40%) people identifying as lesbian, gay or bisexual had recently used any illicit drug, compared with 36% in 2010 (AIHW 2020).
When adjusted for age, stability in recent drug use is relatively consistent across drug types between 2016 and 2019, with the exception of:
non-medical use of pharmaceuticals, which fell from 12.2% in 2016 to 6.3% in 2019
inhalants, which rose from 5.9% in 2016 to 9.9% in 2019 (AIHW 2020).
Estimates from the NDSHS show that lesbian, gay and bisexual people continue to be more likely than heterosexual people to use a range of illicit drugs (AIHW 2020). In 2019, after adjusting for age differences, 36% of people who identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual had recently used any illicit drug, compared with 16.1% of heterosexual people (Table S3.60). Compared with people who identified as heterosexual, people identifying as lesbian, gay or bisexual were:
9.0 times as likely to have recently used inhalants (9.9% compared with 1.1%)
3.9 times as likely to have recently used meth/amphetamine (5.1% compared with 1.3%)
3.5 times as likely to have recently used hallucinogens (4.9% compared with 1.4%)
2.6 times as likely to have recently used ecstasy (7.4% compared with 2.9%) (Table S3.60; Figure LGBTIQ1) (AIHW 2020).

I do not know how else to tell you, Future, but drug use is common among the homosexual community. Much of it is for coping purposes. Otherwise, it is recreational. Dare I say it again, but higher rates of victimhood among the gay community would likely stem from some drug-related activity.
I am not saying that being gay is not the reason why some gay people get bashed (and even killed in some cases). But, you should at least concede that I am right that MOST of the reason for the victim hood is due to the drug-related activity.
You wasting your time posting links for FurtherLeftWanker.
