In what ways are his arguments inconsistent with liberalism? wouldn't everyone wearing the jersey be more consistent with collectivism?

Up until recently, our society for the most part never gave a #### about the rights of LGBTQ individuals. So if this society calls itself liberal, it should do what it can to make amends for the past and make gestures which show that we are no longer (or are at least striving not to be) a society that discriminates based on things like gender, sexual orientation, race, etc.
BoLevi is taking exception to the criticism Reimer and others have received. But he seems to have forgotten that people have freedom of speech and can excercise that right if they choose to.
No, everyone wearing the jersey isn't "collectivism". It's basic decency.
