[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never seen that with LGBTQ+. I've seen it with psychiatric disorders (autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc), and in those situations there are, in certain cases, accommodations to make. But I agree you cannot use a label as a Get Out of Jail Free card.[/quote] I've seen it in both. It's just a sign of immaturity -- people will grasp onto anything that might explain or justify bad behavior rather than take responsibility. But it's not about being gay or having ADHD. It's about being an immature person and doing hurtful or offensive things, and then just reaching for "you can't be mad at me, you have to feel sorry for me instead" because that's easier to them than apologizing or being accountable. I tell my own kid that there is no excuse for mistreating people. EVEN if your disability or past experiences contributed to your bad behavior. You're still responsible. A lot of people obviously didn't get this message though.[/quote]
