@Riker:

I think I sort of understand where you are coming from and why you act like this, but I'd also like to offer some insight about how and why things work fairly well in other places of the world.

Yesterday I went to a pride parade with about 10k participants. I guess it could've been 12.5k, if the weather hadn't been shite. Anyway. Where I went yesterday, I've been going to that particular pride parade for the past 18 years quite frequently as long as I was in the same country. Back when I first went there, it was about 5k participants and there's two reasons why it grew in numbers, went back in numbers, and grew in numbers again.

The event has always been fairly inclusive towards all LGBTIQ people and their allies. The numbers skyrocketed over the years and as a consequence of this, many more smaller pride parades started in this and other states. My best estimate from yesterday is, that 1/5th of the participants were straight cis allies. We need them. Because by the end of the day, conservative / far right Nazis threaten everyone who's not one of them. We can change a lot more things towards a positive outcome when we work together against those despicable gobshites.

In regards to safe spaces: As mentioned in my other comment, pretty much all queer bars / party events around here are very inclusive in terms of non-queer people attending. Sure, there are specific gay events, but they accept transgender men. There are lesbian events, but they accept transgender women. And the transgender community tends to be very open about attending family or friends, so they can ask questions and learn more about the whole shebang. If it's a specific non-public event, it will be advertised as exactly that and no one's got a problem with that.

I hope this helps you to steer your thoughts and views towards a more positive and productive direction rather than continuing to close yourself off and engage in trench warfare.

You probably live over in the States, but here in Europe, pretty much all queer places are very welcoming towards non-queer allies. We work together for the same cause.

Since Dumbfuckistan chose to go backwards in time, I can't blame your for being stuck in the past.

I'm queer as fuck and downvoted you. I invite my non-queer but ally friends to chill with me where ever I please.

Voyager would be my recommendation. It starts on DS9. After that I'd watch TNG, but the first two seasons are rough. Also skip S1E4 (Code of honor). Trust me on this one.

Not as powerful as the glass door, though.

Does getting knocked out by walking into a glass door count? Broke my nose, btw.

For those who are interested in the band: They are called Harm's way.

The only correct answer is VOY S2E15.

Gib mir einen LosFinanziereMich Link und ich spende sofort 10 Tacken. Ohne Witz.

You can add any religious person and all "conservative" / right-winged twats to that list as well.
