| 121. I didn't say you had to be LGBT. I said you have to be familiar |
|
with the cause related to LGBT civil rights.
And with all due respect, I know vis-a-vis your writings that you are unfamiliar.
Come on now.
You think you know, but you're not involved with any of this other than reading comments on a message board and then drawing your own conclusions.
That makes you unqualified to judge whether people are homophobes and/or whether people are throwing around the H word excessively.
If a large group of African Americans charges someone with being racist, I tend to spend more time listening and less time composing blanket statements about their claims.
It's okay not to know everything OMC. I've even heard geniuses make such claims.
And it's refreshing.
