I've been a participant on Yahoo! Answers for over a year now - in LGBT for almost as long. Aside from the incessant flow of questions from the (ir)religious trolls and the general bashing, I've noticed a marked rise in intra-LGBT discord.
First there were the g0ys, then the raft of "How come Ts are in this category", my personal bugbear "I've nothing against bisexuals but I'd never go out with one - I don't trust them..." etc.
Now, it seems, there have been a spate of oblique personal attacks. Whilst it can make for interesting questions and humorous reading - what is it doing to our "LGBT Family"?
Siblings endure rivalry with each other, I understand that well enough, but shouldn't they also respect one another and stand together against adversity?
Why are we allowing each other to make this place less enjoyable for some of our own? How should that make us feel? So what can we do to get back to enjoying life and Yahoo! Answers?
