I told my friend (who I have referred to a few times in this thread) about our discussion. She had this reply:
“You can inform them that I have NO INTENTION of ever marching in a Pride parade, and neither do any of my conservative lesbian friends. And also that I prefer their disgust and condemnation re: my sexual orientation to the left’s disgust re: my foreign policy/economic policy/stance on abortion/etc. any day, so I’m afraid they’re stuck with me.”
So there’s a perspective you don’t hear every day.
