You self identified allies just can’t fucking help but out yourselves, can you?
I have been active for decades in support of LGBT rights. Your commentary here is poisonous enough to bother me. This is not the way.
Then I guess your “allyship” is more about your ego than it is about the people you’re using as a debate tool and a trophy… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You are just looking to instigate. You will be ashamed one day of the vomit you post now. I wont feed the trolls.
They necro’d a reply of mine as well with a similar statement, and I never even suggested any sort of stance or affiliation on the topic. I didn’t respond.
