# LOVE ONE ANOTHER PODCAST EP 204

## THE WAR ON LGBTQ+

It is undeniable that there is a growing number of people who harbor hatred towards LGBTQ individuals and continuously attempt to silence or censor them, essentially forcing them back into the closet and erasing their voices. However, this episode delves into how the LGBTQ community has inadvertently contributed to the current turmoil and chaos we face today, all stemming from disagreements over pronouns and other minor issues among ourselves. We need to learn to choose our battles wisely, show more empathy, compassion, and love towards one another, and educate instead of resorting to screaming at people. We have played a significant role in fueling this fire, and this episode aims to shed light on its origins and how we can reverse its effects. Time is of the essence, as we make up only 4% of the population and cannot afford to alienate the remaining 96%. We need our allies now more than ever. Let's learn to prioritize the battles that truly matter, such as fighting against those who strip away our rights every day, instead of fixating on pronouns. Jeremy Hobbs addresses a letter of complaint and dissent regarding a class he taught and the language he used. We will discuss the usage of derogatory terms like "trannie" and referring to a drag performer's attire as a costume. Jeremy Hobbs will also explore the differences between Generation X and Gen Z and emphasize the importance of effective communication with understanding and compassion.
