My Great Grandparents are holocaust survivers. They were taken

My Great Grandparents are holocaust survivers.
They were taken against their will, toruchered, starved, saw their loved ones die right before their eyes, and wittnessed young children being killed just because they were born into the religion.

so please, tell me again how upset you are that people call you names sometimes because your gay.. at least you get the chance to live.

I'm not trying to be mean but I just have to say that isn't a fair comparison. Yes, that's horrible they had to go through with that, and so glad they've survived. But people who are gay go through so many horrible things as well. They go through their own personal hell, people saying hateful things, is not something to be taken lightly. Words hurt a lot. They bury deep into your mind and heart. It affects people's mood and actions. You don't know the amount of pain someone can handle. Your grandparents might have gone through that horrible period, but those people could think that people hating them, abusing them, is just as bad.
Just think about it.

As much as that is amazing, that they survived, and they are so so so strong, but... I honestly don't believe that is a rightful comparison. The Jews may have been 's most hated group, but he also did the same things to gays, gypsies, "retarded" people, and so many more. - And there are people who do NOT get a chance to live because they are gay. In some countries being gay is punishable by death, and in the LGBTQQ+ demographic, people, especially teens, that are gay or trans have a higher chance of committing suicide. Neither should happen, because no one choses how they're born.- Also, I'm not hating, I'm just adding that because sometimes, for stating your own opinion on witty, you get hate or your assumed to be a hater. I'm not. I'm letting my opinion and voice be heard.
