I’m glad you recognize that there are things that simply cannot be compromised on. Generally speaking, when marginalized groups punch up like this they’re painting a broad brush and can’t always account for allies. Part of being a privileged ally is recognizing when something does or doesn’t apply to you
I get that. And I’m more than willing to swallow my pride for the cause. I just see opportunities for peaceful progress narrowing as each side grows more polarized and simply disregards each other. The stark reality is that we either find a way to open dialogue or somehow separate into two states (which is quite the nightmare scenario the more you think about it). I’m not talking LGBTQ+ issues. I’m just taking general political polarization
Here’s the thing though. When it comes to the rights and recognition of lgbt people, there is no compromise.
I agree with that whole heartedly. It just disturbs me when agreement (or attempted agreement) becomes demonized
