Agreed to a point though. The current 'standards' with regards to referencing LGBTQ2+ issues have changed at light speed and in fact are typically defined in intersectionality terms that are constantly evolving, do not necessarily have good consensus and in a lot of cases are still quite debatable.
It almost an impossible standard to live up to that nothing anyone has ever said on any platform ever crosses whatever the current lines are
and whatever future lines may be drawn. Oftentimes for conservatives the 'lines' are drawn by their very opponents in an election campaign. Honestly It was only the last few years that figures such as Barak Obama, Hilary Clinton, and others on the left came out in support of gay marriage.
