I’ve been doing this for some time now. Even if it’s something that I consider important.
I just don’t see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It’s exhausting and I’ve decided to just opt-out.
What I see from the lgbtq+ community is: “Leave us alone,” when their rights and existence are threatened and I think it’s ok to defend those things.
What I see from the religious community is: “Let’s threaten the rights and existence of the lgbtq+ community,” though they never use such neutral language. I don’t think it’s ok to commit violence, directly or otherwise, against people because they have a different sexual orientation, gender, race, or creed. It’s not a defensive reaction, it’s an offensive preemptive attack.
So it’s not equivalent. Stop pretending it is.
You’re not here in good faith. You’re not clever. You haven’t set up a brilliant rhetorical trap; you’ve just shown how ignorant you willingly remain.
You’re not worth any more of my time, so you’re blocked. Don’t expect anything further.
What you see is entirely subjective, and the fact that you don’t seem to realize that your impression is subject to bias is concerning. It’s not necessary for me to set up any kind of rhetorical trap because your position is inherently flawed.
I support LGBTQ people to defend their rights and existence, but that doesn’t mean they get carte blanche to do whatever they want.
