I'll never understand the mind of those people. I mean granted I'm gay, so I guess I'm more empathic to minorities, but if I was a straight, white, cis man, what would I win with hating these groups or what would I lose by letting these groups exist?

I'm a straight, white, cis man and I don't understand it either.

Like the lawn sign in front of my friends' house says: "More rights for others doesn't mean less for you. It's not a pie."

Everyone likes to feel superior in some way. To a lot of people, they were born superior, especially those who feel like they are not important in any other way.
