Not to mention the horribly flawed "My life is okay and so are many, so politics don't really matter". I guess a clear take away from that is Pointman isn't and doesn't know anyone in the LGBTQ community.
But they should just be like Pointman and not undermine the government or worry about politics, and boom, they're just like a free, democratic society!!
