You're still missing the point, but you're doing it on purpose so you already knew that.
He made a clear choice not to participate in a message that says everyone is welcome. By making that choice, he is sending the opposite message. That's his right, nobody is trying to take that away from him, despite what some odd posters are claiming in here. And it's everyone else's right to call him out for it if they want too.
What would be really weird is if someone were to then get upset that people are calling him out, and push for tolerance of intolerance instead. It sure is interesting to me that some people completely gloss over what actually happened and are instead just defending the right to be an intolerant prick. What someone speaks out against really tells you a lot about them, so I guess I'm a little surprised that people are willing to skip over Reimer saying that he "can't support the activity or lifestyle" like that's a perfectly reasonable stance, but then be vocal against the people saying he's an idiot. How is he so special that his views are above criticism?
