Victimhood mentality.
Victimhood? My father beat me because he thought I was gay. He even used the term "gay as a three dollar bill" and I was 7...I didn't even know what that was.
I had a work manager call me a f***** fa**it at work while I was talking to a friend.
This is reality.
Imagine people being mistreated by a perception or worse..in reality
Why don't you file a human rights complaint if that happened? Or take them to court? A lot of LGBTQ are cashing in in this day and age for alleged discrimination.

Myriad means "innumerable." How would you use it in a sentence.
You moron. Myriad can mean “a countless or extremely great number,” so it would be correct to say “Trump has told lies regarding a myriad of topics.”

It is "myriad" posts not "a" myriad. Myriad means "innumerable." At least you didn't say "a myriad of posts."
Who taught you these rules? There is nothing wrong with “a myriad of posts” and that is in fact the more traditional formal form.

I want to make it clear that probably millions of Americans are still very homophobic and harbor feelings of hate or disgust when they think about the LGBT community. That is still very real (and some of those people are not shy about "sharing" their feelings).
That said, think this thread is still a bit off-base. Just because individuals feel a certain way, doesn't mean the country is that way.
For the most part, our cultural institutions support all people, especially those who have been historically underrepresented or repressed. Would you say these groups are for or against the LGBT+ community:
- Large national corporations like Apple, Nike, Google, Starbucks, etc.
- Hollywood and Broadway
- The actual laws on the books in the USA
- Traditional media outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.
- Social media influencers
- Sports leagues
- Public schools
- Music industry
- All those churches with pride flags
- Universities and Colleges
- Cafés and bookstores
- NPR and PBS
- The Federal government's own policies
- etc.
I will admit that Fox and about 99% of American Evangelical churches are still pretty anti-LGBT+ . But those groups don't really represent America as much as the above groups do.

It's simple and I'm simple. .I told the owner of the store after I contacted lawyers ready to take the case ..he fired the manager. I was fine with that. I'm not about cashing in. As for my dad ...he died over 17 years ago.
I did not bring myself up as an example of sympathy but as an example of what happens a lot that is swept under the rug.

Myriad is the word the ancient Greeks used for 10,000 specifically. Its use for innumerable is recent in comparison.

Um.. LGBTQIAP2S+ meaning lesbian, fat, bi-sexual, transgender, queer(or questioning), intersex, asexual, pansexual and two-spirit(originally from Canadian Cree Heritage) are all part of the Community
Nothing was made up. Thanks.

Just roll your way and have zero expectations out of people and you'll be ok.
Quit looking for others to praise you and do your thing

So can you provide examples of Aesop, Archimedes, Ptolemy, Aristotle using it that way in their writings?

I edited my post because I realize the OP wasn't kidding. I didn't mean to be disrespectful but as a fellow liberal, we embarrass ourselves sometimes (with things like this) and I thought that was what was happening

SO you are going to be saying "a myriad a countless or great number" - really?

Read the Webster’s entry above which corrects you and your ignorance.
