Question, and this may not be the perfect place for this, but is it the phrasing that LGBTQ is a mental "illness" that's the problem here, or that it's a mental attribute at all?

I'm an LGBT supporter, so I'm not coming at this from a place of malice, I suppose it's curiosity and ignorance. Don't we basically understand that the way we function as humans is all a part of our brain chemistry, and that certain deviations from the norm cause things like ADD, homosexuality, musical creativity, etc etc?

The word illness seems way too strong, as we as a society have decided we don't have anything against that personal trait/lifestyle/whatever, but as far as natural occurrences goes homosexuality must be considered a mental abnormality, no?

Again I don't want to get caught up in feelings here, because I think people will hear that and take offence to it since no one wants to be "abnormal" but that is the concensus is it not?

Seriously, this is how the media is spinning this? "Facebook now allows people to post that LGBT people are mentally ill"?

The default behavior of any social media platform is to allow people to say anything they want. That's what social media is for, to allow people to talk to each other. The things it doesn't allow are, and ought to be, exceptions. Facebook has now decided that one of these exceptions will be slightly loosened. I somehow fail to see the big deal in this.

They had a fun time while it lasted, however such inorganic promotion of hypersexuality had a cost and they'll pay soon.

Ok there i go for the downvotes... Where are woke people there is always confusion about everything, if you dont think or do things like they do they start scream and protest all the time. Thats why they are getting behind, the majority of people (the silent ones) are tired of the constant whining
