I’d like to think that it’s just an lgbt person who’s also conservative (I’m transsexual and on the conservative side myself) but given it’s “lgbtq” I kinda have a feeling it’s probably a more progressive person who claimed the conservative sub to control it, rather than genuine interest…
I find this really interesting, if I may ask (in good faith), what makes you a conservative yet LGBTQ+ person? Are you in the U.S.? If not that may explain why you’re conservative in the first place. I’m really curious.
I don’t identify with lgbtq, and view it as antagonistic towards transsexuals. I’m transsexual (medically/biologically) so I fall under lgbt by default lol.
As for conservatism, I’ve slowly been moving towards conservative views due to various arguments, observations, etc. that I found convincing. For instance I am pro-life, pro-gun, etc.
I am indeed in the US, here in California (a red/conservative part of it though). Having the conservative views I do I end up a bit frustrated, since a lot of the republican party just pushes capitalist/corporate policies, and doesn’t really focus on the conservative things I find important.
The “q” in lgbtq often refers to the q slur, and it’s a newer acronym largely used by progressives. conservative lgbt people either stick with the classic lgbt, or in recent years have started using lgb as a way of distancing themselves from the transgender movement.
Not saying it’s impossible for conservatives to use lgbtq, but it’s rare IMO (speaking as someone on the conservative side in the lgbt community).
I’ve got mine so fuck you mentality… I’m a straight male but I support the shit out of everyone as long as they aren’t shitting on people and distancing yourself from our Trans brothers and sister is awful and you know it… we are all people in the end and we need love and support…
I’d like to ask a question in good faith here, if that’s alright.
If you are trans, why are you supporting American conservatives that platform policies against your health and existence?
I’m not asking as a ‘gotcha,’ because that lacks a compassionate curiosity. But I’m puzzled because these stances and identities seem incompatible and I’d like to understand better why, to you, they are.
You’re under no obligation to answer, but I’m trying something new and pumping the brakes before I shut down curiosity to make a judgment. Whether you’ll afford me that or not, is up to you.

Why does the “lgbtq” make you think that?

Just curious, why are you assuming they are American?

Seems pretty conservative to me.
