Dear LGBTQ – could we be a little quieter?

The next bad word of the year should be "LGBTQ." And not just because it's a tongue twister. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer—people whose sexual orientation deviates from the heteronormative norm. Nothing against those people! They should do what they want and live as they see fit. But maybe it could be a little quieter?

There are several reasons why they are so vocal: First, they are a minority. Minorities need to be loud to be heard. Furthermore, it's a matter of time: We live in an era of thin-skinnedness, in which almost everyone sees themselves as a victim and likes to boast about it in a pompous, complaining way – usually in the expectation that someone will apologize publicly.

It's almost unbearable how intensely we're bombarded with LGBTQ issues every day—whether on television or elsewhere: from the grammatical nonsense of gender to queer partnerships in every other prime-time TV series. The LGBTQ missionaries on the networks and elsewhere are forgetting the majority: approximately 88 percent of Germans are heterosexual, 49 percent live in families, and 75 percent have no immigrant background. Perhaps, for a change, we should think about them—regardless of what the finger-waving moral elite thinks.

Anyone who is annoyed with the author will be condemned to be woken up at three in the morning and to repeat "ElDschiBiTiKiu" a thousand times – until the monstrosity rolls off their lips. Then he'll add a plus and start all over again.
