LGBTQI+ or related freaks.

You just called me and half the board a slur on purpose. You have indicated a refusal to tolerate a multitude of people that compromises more than 10% of the world population due to naturally occurring genetic and environmental conditions. When you get banned, I will not shed a tear.
