One of the most amusing controversies ever from the alphabet soup crowd:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Rose#Acting_career
[On 7 August 2018, it was reported that Rose had been cast as Batwoman in an Arrowverse crossover.[27] Her role has been noted as the first openly lesbian lead superhero in television.[28] Batwoman aired on The CW on 6 October 2019.[29] Rose’s casting as Batwoman was met by backlash on social media and generated intense criticism.[30][31] DC Comics, which owns the rights to the longtime comic book superheroine Batwoman, reintroduced the character in 2006 as a lesbian of Jewish descent. Some online commenters criticized Rose for not being Jewish, while the main focus of the scrutiny was the assertion that the fact she identifies as genderfluid made her “not gay enough” for the role.[30] Rose quit Twitter and deactivated public commenting on her Instagram account following the backlash.[30] Prior to leaving Twitter, she released a tweet responding to the negative reaction, stating, “Where on earth did ‘Ruby is not a lesbian therefore she can’t be batwoman’ come from — has to be the funniest most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.”[32] Rose called for unity between women and minorities, imploring women and the LGBT community to be kinder and more supportive of each other.[30][32]

In Entertainment Weekly’s 2019 LGBTQ special issue, Rose again discussed her gender identity, and the backlash to her casting as the title character of the television series Batwoman.[61] She stated that the opportunity to audition for Orange Is the New Black came about because the show wanted to have a gender-neutral character, but that she has also received criticism because of her genderfluid identity, adding, “When I got cast as a lesbian in Batwoman, I didn’t know that being a gender-fluid woman meant that I couldn’t be a lesbian because I’m not a woman — not considered lesbian enough.” She said that while her initial response was dismissive, she later considered if there was a way to remedy the situation so that others would not be offended by her identity, stating, “That’s when I sort of said, ‘I’m a woman that identifies as a woman. I’m not trans. But if being gender-fluid means that I can’t identify as a woman at any point, then I guess I can’t be that.” She pondered making up a term that does not offend people and would indicate that she is “fluid in [her] gender, but also a lesbian.”[61]]

These people aren’t unprejudiced. They just want their in-group on top.

Gay for Pay isn’t good enough.

And yes, Homofascists are like Feminazis. Neither wants “equality” they want supremacy.

She pondered making up a term that does not offend people

That this thought even crossed her mind is mind blowing to me. People actually care about sh*t like this and argue about it, get into fights over it.

Talk about having too much time on your hands.
