Wow. Pretty gross.

Why?

We're a diverse species and should be accepting of those that are different from us, so long as it doesn't hurt others.

Being offended does not equate to being hurt.

Huh? The tweet and imagery from the US marines is highly infuriating to gay people. which is why the Marine Corps is being dragged right now by the LGBT community and others.

Like Sagaar points out, I'm sure the brown kids we're bombing are going to look up at the sky and say, hey, at least they're being inclusive when they blow us up. Pride is supposed to be about love and acceptance, not the military abusing and using gay people for propaganda purposes to deflect away from how awful the military industrial complex is. If you think gay people want to be used like this and have their pride flag on bombs or bullets that are meant for killing, I think you are wrong.

Which is stupid. Because there is nothing in the tweet that is remotely offensive.

Yeah because that's what honoring gay people who serve in the military is doing.

And no one is painting LGBT flags on bombs


Unless you listen to Don Jr

Lol you think the hundreds of thousands killed by us Westerners in the wholly unjust wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and countless other places are something the pride/queer community of all people wants to wear as a badge of honour by having pride coloured bullets AKA things that cause death to brown people unjustifiably, PTSD, and suicides from former service members constantly.

Lol, you think the hundreds of LBGTQ people who serve in the military don't want the organization they work for to recognize them? (considering there was a time you couldn't) and that rainbow bullets are inherently associated with negative stuff you list. That's as stupid as saying every time cops join pride parades and paint police cruisers or their body armor with pride flags there to be associated with police brutality and unjustified shootings.


The military isn't every war it's fought and bullets can be as good as they can be bad.

And Afghanistan was totally justified even if it was a failure 

This will now symbolize police brutality against black people.....



As will this 


Because now the police are reduced to police brutality and nothing else 

Nope, I respect service members and vets, but there's a reason gay people overwhelmingly think this is a joke. Firstly, the tweet was put out by war criminals, not by gay service members, so let's get that out of the way first.

No one said gay service members can't have their own little symbol or whatever, or the pagans, or Satanists or whoever. They can have their own little thing. That's not what any gay person is outraged by right now. These US government bullets should be taken seriously, based on the gravity of the damage they have caused. They've killed hundreds of thousands since 9/11. Some say it's a million plus. This is not to be taken lightly, taking the government bullets that are used to unjustly kill brown people and spray painting them with a symbol that was created to stand for the exact opposite of the military industrial complex. I'm 100 % in support of the 2nd Amendment, but military bullets represent the MIC and the killing they've done and are continuing to do to brown people.

You bring up the police in Pride parades. Actually, a whole bunch of pride parades have kicked out the police from participating. And if you're seriously going to sit here and try to pretend that you wouldn't be offended in the least if Brianna Taylor was gunned down with a gay pride bullet out of a police gun, then I just don't believe you. You're only making a fuss here because it's me, and because you refuse to side with me on anything.

Which is it?  The USMC are a group you respect or are they war ciminals?

Pick a lane for a change.

First I never said you didn't respect them so strawman. Second, it was released by the marine core who are not all war criminals (there is that tendency towards reductionism again)

I never said you or anybody else said they couldn't so again strawman. And again the military is not defined by its worst aspect so this whole objection can be dismissed as irrational. Bullets by the military can be used justly or unjustly like any other bullets.

You are free to believe what you like but in reality, no one was killed with rainbow-colored bullets and I the cops put out a Twitter post with bullets with BLM colors I wouldn't care as I don't associate every bullet with  Brianna Taylor because I'm not an idiot. And your egotism that you are important enough to me that i would go to such lengths is beathtaking.
