Is anyone courageous enough to try and open up another thread on the LGBTQ+ situation? Last one took 2 days to get locked

@Master Mind @The Lock It's become a pretty important issue in the the NHL, where every team and player decision is newsworthy. So for a hockey forum to be unable to even talk about those things (without completely breaking down into homophobic slander) is disappointing. The hockey subreddits have done a much better job approaching this topic.

All I'll say further is, if your goal is to tell people against the LGBTQ+ community that they're hiding under a rock, all that's going to do is make them even more against that community. I get the sentiment, I really do, but you have to go about it the right way. You need to win allies, and a forum without using the right tact... that's just going to have the opposite effect.
I agree that the homophobic slander is disappointing, but telling people it's wrong isn't going to make people on the opposite side actually see that it's wrong. You need to go to the core of why they think the way they do in the first place and figure out how to make them an ally.
Anyway, I'm not going to reply further on this. "Newsworthy" does not mean "forumworthy" and there are too many people on this forum who would likely blunder any possibility of talking to people of a differing opinion.
