...you are trying to force acceptance of your personal views and private lifestyle on others...

What is wrong with expecting (in your words "forcing") you to accept someone's lifestyle choices? No one is forcing you to adopt those lifestyle choices, endorse those lifestyle choices, partake in them or do anything but literally accept them; in the sense that you accept they exist and you don't have a right to stop people living those lifestyles or speaking about them. Acceptance doesn't mean you have to like it, just that you accept you don't have a right to shut other people up.

No one is forcing you to listen, you literally just have to accept that there are people who don't agree with you permitted to have other opinions (well I guess there are some people trying their best to make you "listen" and make you think it is your "problem" but they are the same anti LGBT extremist lobby groups that have been actively identifying and pushing wedge issues for decades).

That is the whole point of living in a civilised liberal society. If you expect your traditional or religious lifestyle choices to be accepted you must accept other people's. It's a peace treaty, if you don't sign up to it don't expect its protections.

Or maybe it is a commercial opportunity to create a MAGA oriented stock site with only suitable imagery.

Millions of people in the US follow the movement. They could have their own ,,safe" stock agency filled with obedient housewives dressed 1950's style and perfect children holding guns even as toddlers.

Freedom of choice and freedom of business.

Then they don't have to complain that looking at the content of international stock agencies is somehow out to get them.

Maybe we'd like to read about photography or micro stock and avoid the never ending stream of causes and political views? If I wanted to read politics, I'd go to a forum about politics. LGBTQ+ is politics, you are trying to force acceptance of your personal views and private lifestyle on others. Would you want someone to come and post nothing but bible quotes, their personal religious beliefs, and their religion arguments on this forum. We take photos that are religions, that should be allowed.

of course religious photos are allowed- as an atheist i still can appreciate Christian art, culture,worship & architecture & it's a significant part of my images - Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish & Buddhist

the difference is when talk goes off limits and those few (not neverending) topics may be  moved to off topic

Right off you change the subject and avoid the issue. Men do not belong in women's locker rooms. Men do not have the same bodies as women. https://nypost.com/2023/06/12/trans-cyclist-austin-killips-wins-nc-race-by-5-minutes/
You can dress as you want, think you are happier in another body, or have sex with who you decide. Noone should be allowed stop you. But if you want to know what sex you are, look between your legs. If you had some conversion, look at your birth certificate or your genes. That's real. The rest is a make believe world.

It is unfair to natural born women to have to compete against fake women.

On this site are people of the same profession, with approximately the same lifestyle. In fact, this site is a place where people who shoot content for stocks work and communicate. It is not constructive and not correct to suggest censoring their communication and crushing democracy. Moreover, this forum is very far from a political forum, and people who really want to professionally discuss politics will not find the right topics and interlocutors on this forum.
It's only in Russian and Belarusian forums 100% censorship and 100% lack of democracy. Everyone who is against Russia on Russian forums gets banned.

Not only that - usually they are also shot dead on sight. By Putin.
