intolerance ?

What do you guys think ? Is it intolerant to say something negativ about LGBTQ stuff or is it intolerant to ban someone because he has an other opinion than the rest
Depends on the negative things that you say

example n.1 :
(phobia means fear in old greek)

"I'm not transphobic. I don't fear them, I find them disgusting."

Here you can easily understand how this opinion will be perceived as intollerant.

example n.2 :

"I think that the actual crisis of the left wing (in Italy) has to do with the fact that they forgot the working class to run after all this LGBTQ stuff. I mean, the "me too" movement was just a bunch of dikes looking for attention"

Here you can see how you are really skating on thin ice; especially with the ground-to-air missile on the "me too". The first part is going to get you some serious heat, with the second you are going to get assaulted.

example n.3 :

"No I'm not an LGBT allied, I'm a dude who thinks his own business and I'm not interested in others people sexual preferences.... No I'm not define myself in any way, I'm going my way and I'm not interested..... Dude I already told you, I'm from the working class and I came from a working class family, I don't give a sh*t if you like to talk about how the last d*ick you sucked remembered you of an ipa beer you drank last friday. You want a definition? I'm an old school Stalinist, how about that, you f*ckin capitalist pig?"

Here you can see how things could get weird real quick. Especially from the second part you'll be percieved as a wild card, something that is not really welcome nowadays. You are clearly not a right wing, but still they'll feel you as something not good. On the plus side: they'll never talk to you again in terms of lgbt friendly and shit. On the minus side: you'll probably need some kind of theraphy, unless the second part is something you have put there in a studied way.

> is it intolerant to ban someone because he has an other opinion than the rest

If you go into a church and you start screaming that god is not real they are going to ban you. In general yes, it is intollerant, but it depends on what where when who and how
Thanks for your answer. By saying "being banned" is not meant in reallife. I mean getting banned on a Discord Server

Consider that finding people that are balanced is something difficult. The vast majority wans to be confirmed in their opinion not really getting engaged in conversation. This avoid them the difficulties of having to express a real personal opinion (not just repeating something they have read or listened somewhere ), Still express your opinion is a good thing and something you should do, always considering the time and the manner. I don't use Discord so I don't know what's the level of the people there;
No political, ideological or religious group should be immune from criticism.

This is the power of free speech, the ideas and movements that can defend their actions and ideals in a public forum will succeed. Those committing harmful actions or espousing irrational rhetoric need to be exposed so they can either correct themselves or have public opinion turn away from supporting them.
