People who are unsupportive of individual rights have not been able to slow the progress society has made in the last decade or so (remember when Obama was against gay marriage?). They won't be able to now. So the best policy is to simply take Reimer's position, understand that its his, and proceed to ignore it.
There is no need for the witch hunt and I would argue its actually destructive to progress for all the reasons I mentioned.

Highly recommend you check a few US news sources if you think people who are unsupportive if individual rights aren't slowing progress in the US. They are legit reversing progress. The attacks on LGBTQ+ in both literal form (gun violence) and legislative form (removal of rights) are downright frightening.
That is why you have to shine a light on this crap because when you don't things reverse course.
