I'm here because this showed up in all.
I don't "aggressively support" squat. I do stand up for life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. Someone being trans does not affect anyone's life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness until they get aggressive.
What does that even mean?
This like not being racist, but they shouldn't be so loud with those blm protests?
Not homophobic, but they shouldn't have to make everything gay in the summer?
Maybe in wrong (I hope I am), but that is what your comment sounds like.
I do not support the BLM protests as they had them because they were violent, yet I support black rights. I understand also Martin Luther King Jrs statement not to have violent protests because it makes the protesters out to be the bad guys.
I was at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests in standing rock protesting against the encroachment of native Americans rights. As and I told them also, "it is not good if you break the law, it makes it look like you are the bad guys. Rather stress how much THEY are breaking the law.
I do not support violent protests for the most part, unless life is at stake.
The law got us in the messes. Ya gotta break it. Property destruction and defense from police violence is not violence.
