I'm pretty sure your heart is in the right place, but your argument is more than a little confusing.

The first paragraph clearly states that you believe sexual attraction is not a choice, and yet your argument is that "it's not a choice" is counter-productive.

If I understand it correctly, you're basically saying to re-frame the "it's a choice" narrative into something that affects straight people who oppose LGBT+ rights because they believe it is a choice that can be made?

e.g. If you're straight and then one day "choose" to be gay, but LGBT+ rights have been abolished, then the government has taken away your right to choose?

If I'm understanding correctly, all other points aside, it may be too confusing to have any good/meaningful impact.

I would highly encourage anyone who feels sympathetic to this comment to read through the comment history and modlog of the person who made it before voting.

Combative, promoting violence, and generally using the Palestinian crisis to universally bash anyone they disagree with about anything while also derailing unrelated conversations. But yeah, it's the mods who are the problem. 🙄

It would make a difference is all I'm saying.

Perfect and better are not mutually exclusive concepts.

If people would at least just check the community they're posting to, it would help immensely.

Added emphasis to previous statement.

It's a conspiracy, bud. Trying to keep the truth down!

OR....there's like 300 duplicates of the exact same thing because everyone thinks they're CNN and the first to break the story and the mods are cleaning up.

Take your pick.

I thought that would be different here, but sadly is not. lol

Good truly unpopular opinion, and mostly good discussion on the points made. That said, I think pretty much all the points that were going to be made have been made. Locking thread.

I've been using this one a bit more during these federation backups. I can't really adopt it as my daily driver, though. My home instance is the one I run, so I tend to favor it. lol

If my instance ever gets sync'd back up where I can interact in something approximating real-time, I may make that happen lol.

Oh, I was just lamenting that such a garbage post is contributing to the backlog because of the activities it generates (which LW has to federate out since its "owns" the community this was posted in). Basically a potshot at a low-effort, shit take of a post.
