How would I feel about people who are not LBGT+ but claim to care deeply and powerfully about them, so much so that they're advocating for Mike Pence to be in charge of the country, because Biden was okay with "Don't Ask Don't Tell" back in the 1990s and so clearly he's just as bad (or whatever the argument is)?
How would I feel about an LBGT+ person speaking up, in that situation, saying hey please don't do that, I don't like it at all, that actually will make me unsafe in a terrifying way? I would feel like, hey I think I should amplify that person's voice on the issue.
And so, that's why we're here in this post. Hello! Good to meet you.
