    Agreed. The first Gay and Lesbian liberation groups people operated with aliases because infiltration could mean their persecution under the law. To fight an unjust rule of law anonymity to a degree is needed to shield the just. That someone unjust can utilize that same shield is an unfortunate consequence.

    The difference is if people still think your version of justice is deplorable when you come out from behind the shield then the consequences are yours to reap. In this instance it’s not a matter of people wanting to be able to love each other publicly and get married it’s people wanting to crush people beneath a boot so the issue is a little less gray. Caveat emptor.
