I'm white, upper-middle class, ignorant, and liberalish too, Pete. I'm not a radical seer, and I know for a fact you are better than dismissing my world view as some attempt at outing myself as some unique radical. If you're not better than that, then the multiple PMs we've exchanged, even the ones where you praised the struggle of the gay community, where we've discussed things in context of your religious beliefs, were basically meaningless garbage. And that would sadden me.
My opinion is going to be different then a few posters regarding "identity politics". Obviously.
You get straight indignant when non-religious folk talk about religion in a way you don't like. But a gay person can't share their opinion on a identity politics issue directly related to the gay community without being labelled as some wannabe radical? Good to know.
I got called a jerk for responding to being called a regressive liberal who is a danger to a converged society, and a pompous radical seer for giving an opinion as a gay person on a gay politics issue. Fun, thanks you two.
But also, a genuine thanks to Cliff for being able to disagree with a bit of snarl and still not taking it personal.
