The knife cuts both ways on this one. The left goes out of their way to try to sniff out and shut out every whiff of dissent on this issue, which does create a slightly inquisitorial optic. It's bad for gay people in the long term, and accomplishes nothing good for us. I think that the whole dynamic is more centred around bashing the 'redneck outgroup' than 'there is a legitimate problem here'. The left is letting their witch hunt feed the right's paranoia, and it's an all-around dumb move.
oh yeah, like there's never been an inquisition/witch hunt conducted against gay people, nope, never. Hell, you're really saying this when it's still legal to be fired or denied housing in 30 states for coming out? THAT is an ongoing witch hunt
The bigots are only starting to be dismissed out of hand the same way racists have been for a long time. Go complain about how oppressed racists are
