4879712 I took the dates from the same sex marriage legalization in Equestria dates and I rounded those off to these :) They are all made up. Both of these blogs are fake
4879880
Ah, thanks for clarifying these are fake. I originally thought all were actual accurate dates of LGBTQ legalizations from Equestria, because as far as we know, this problem has been a significant one in Equestria's history for the longest time, but now it's finally resolved and you're here to tell us all about it! But turns out there was never such problem among our beloved pones and there's no need to worry. What an incredible relief!

4879897 That's okay. Nah they will never feature anything that is to conterversial in any material as the backlash against the show would be huge
Why are these modern dates?
Gotta show this thread to TC, she'll either get a kick out of it or a hernia.
4882011 Because the show came out in the 21st century
4882132
How horribly uncreative.
4882246 How is that uncreative
4882268
Because all you did is slap dates down for nondiscrimination items, using modern dates, and at a unrealistic time frame for legal legislature. You're mocking a legal process, and probably each of this issues at the same time, or at least that's what TC was telling me in Discord.
Instead of being creative and designing your own calender system, or doing research in seeing if Equestria has one, you slap modern dates on it. Anyone can do that. Like this.
Twilight's birthday: August 24th 1994
Applejack's Birthday: December 21st 1991
Rainbows Dash's birthday: June 1st 1992
Zero-creativity. I just threw random dates down guessing on ages.
But if you were to say, call a summer month "Solaris" and then six months from then "Polaris", you could have a neat summer/winter thing going on. Use horoscope zodiac signs, or latin/green root words for what occurs during that time or month, or the ever vigilant pony puns, etc.
I would urge you to be creative, but I'm pretty sure this has gone over your head so hard, you'll respond with a sad face or "okay", or some retarded one liner than you've said to a hundred other people.
4882447 Huh...your right
Equestria Would never need to have LGBT rights legalised as they would never have been illegal in the first place.
4884343
It would be interesting to read a story on why they would have been illegal in the first place. Could write quite an exciting story on it becoming illegal and somepony fighting back against it. Either religious motions or survival needs causing it to be a taboo. But I think it would be done best in a way that didn't reflect modern day politics. People come here to read and get away from those things, well, most people do.
To be honest, I think there are way too many stories about Equestria being chill with it and it would be more exciting to read a story where there was a discrimination issue with it and it presented itself as a problem to the (potentially) main characters' relationship. I think it would be much more applicable and believable.

But the trouble is only humans are stupid enough to make loving a member of the same gender illegal, It just does not seem like something that would happen in Pony land.
4885806
Only because we perceive it that way. I also imagine in pony land they wouldn't use ponies as ingredients in cupcakes or take pegasi that fail flying and turn them into rainbows. Or have vamponies, or war, or say... help friends commit suicide to escape potential assassins. That's the fun thing about fan fiction, you have basically unlimited control over what you want to do. You could write a story where Twilight was born a pegasus, or an earth pony, or a dragon. Dragon Age, Warcraft, Starcraft, Star Wars, Star Trek, Rick and Morty, etc, can get involved.
"Pony-land" can have a period where they were not accepting of homosexual behavior for whatever reason, and then became more accepting because of "x".
That story, that conflict, imho, is much better than simply saying that "pony-land" (pre or during Equestria) was always tolerant of it. For example, you could say that it became a higher taboo and discouraged from society during the period of the 3 Tribes. The Tribes would have wanted resources and members of its society for better control. Encouraging heterosexual relationships would have been in the benefit of the tribes. So it was made illegal to encourage population growth, some other factors could have been included in there as well to do the same, but that's how I can see it starting from a more logical and biological point than a religious belief - which I always find hard to work into stories, unless it is majorly alt-universe.
At some point, it became the norm, and society functioned in that matter until "X" occurred that changed it.
"Logic" in fan-written stories only need to be concerned with making a sensible case, but other than that, they can go anywhere the person's headcanon wants. That's what makes it so beautiful!
Don't be so quick to discount humanity, or to devalue others because they have a different belief than you. That sort of intolerance leads to the very sort of hate and discrimination you want to avoid. Attempt to understand those that think differently than you, be understanding, and in the end, while maybe you two don't agree, always try to walk away as friends.
4884343 Your right
4885811
Yea you are correct fan fiction does give free expression of the imagination. That does not mean any of that stuff will be believable to the reader.
Please feel free to explain to me how me thinking people that make loving certain people a crime despite the fact is has no effect on them are morons is intolerance?
Yes we should be tolerant of a lot of people, But not everyone, Some peoples beliefs and opinions are toxic and should not be tolerated in modern society.
4915036
Of course not. Not everyone is going to agree with a certain expression of fanfiction. That's why there is such a variety. That's the beauty of it. Anything is possible.
Then you strive for a totalitarian system, where only your own beliefs can be expressed, and not the opinions of others. If you cannot see the danger in preventing others to express themselves and their opinions, despite their "toxicity", then this is a worthless conversation.
You cannot destroy hate with hate. That causes more pain and suffering to be created, leading straight towards the discrimination and hatred you want to avoid. I am not talking strictly in the context of homosexual relationships, but it does apply here. Do you want someone to agree with you and be persuaded to your point of view? Then do not hate them, nor discriminate against them, do not rage against them. Discuss your points, be friends if possible, but do not seek to antagonize. After all, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

But that is like saying the views of Hitler should be tolerated and not hated. Im not saying its about my personal views its all about what is right and wrong.
The point Im trying to make is law makers should not be allowed to dictate who we can and can not love. People can dislike the LGBT community all they want but they should have no legal right to treat LGBT people differently.
Honestly maybe a world where hate is not tolerated would be a better place.
4915589
K, agreed. Lawmakers have no business with personal lives such as that. But you can't force someone to acknowledge or agree with their lifestyle either by say... baking a cake. That's just as bad as forcing LGBT to be unable to live the way they want.
And how would you propose to rid the world of hate? Would you kill Hitler? Would you force him to be sent to a correctional facility? How would you determine what is right and what is wrong?
