This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They're people, just like everyone else, and I'm sure there's some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they're just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.
I consider myself an ally, and I'll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats... It doesn't matter.
IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.
My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.
"This is why" you say of a fake greentext.
While not so bad now that they're legally allowed to marry, this joke was kinda cringey before then. "Sure you don't have the right to marry who you love like most people do, but 'wife bad', amiright??"
I think the joke is 'spouse bad'
Youre the one who put a gender on it
Right cause only men complain about their spouses as a punchline.
what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?
Yeah thanks for that incoherent comment. You really contributed to the discussion there, well done.
Do they think the LGBTQ+ community is the kind of community you gotta pay like a yearly fee to be in? Lol
Wait... Y'all aren't paying the Gay Dues?
What are you on about? From my understanding all the people you mentioned ARE considered part of that description
Nail on the head my friend. That's exactly why I used that identifier. Not sure what the other person is trying to say here.
I THINK THEY'RE HAVING A LITTLE JOKE WITH YOU
I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS FINDING IT VERY FUNNY.
