That is the whole issue though. There is a very active portion of people using religion as a reason to shut down LGTBQ+ events. You can't lean on religion as personal thing when it is being used a tool to actively discriminate. Reimer refusing to participate by wearing a jersey gives broad support that it is okay to discriminate as long as he isn't out there protesting at a drag story time.

His example illustrates a very real and pretty recent change in societal norms, whereas your ridiculousness serves to debase. Further demonstrating that these types of conversations are not changing anyone’s mind.

If you are longing for the days where marrying children is a-ok then West Virginia is the place for you. Child marriage fell out of favour because people realized it was wrong. Kind of like oppressing people for who they love.
