For an academic paper? No. For information? Yes. We’re not in University anymore.

I do pay attention, and I have seen that, but I was specifically talking about Christians who (when seeing a fellow Christian who doesn’t represent them) make it a point to defend Christianity from criticism as a response but don’t actually do anything show that the person in question doesn’t represent them. You didn’t actually make any effort to say how you feel about Pride, or present yourself as an alternative representation of Christianity. You didn’t take any issue with Reimer’s belief, you took issue with people criticizing religion.

CalgaryPuck (if you really paid attention) is tolerant of many posters ridiculing all sorts of things, including visible minorities and trans people. It’s actually takes quite a bit of over-the-top language to even get a time out. But how often do you step in and say something when it’s anyone but a Christian being criticized?
