I’m gay. Been following q before it even got to Reddit. I was a Republican voter all the way to bushes term and it was the Georgia gay ballot amendment to disallow gay marriage and the Iraq war that got me activated and made me vote dem for the next 15 years, because the Republican big tent politics felt like a lie. I was a Bernie advocate because what I really wanted was an outsider. Finally trump got my attention with his actions. I didn’t vote for him the first time but I wish I had. He was awesome and he never crapped on the gays. So smart. But it’s the anti-gay commentary on here that makes me question my few years Of rooting for the right. I do think activism goes too far but it often arises out of a felt trauma from being acted against. Activist often get activated by something they experience directly. Never forget that. Treat all beings as children of the divine, divine expressions of God worthy of respect and you will catalyze a mass of people. Throw crap and people walk away or launch worse at you. It’s not smart, it’s not effective.
