“you have thereby bought into the homosexual agenda ... by assuming that opposing the homosexual agenda somehow = opposing the homosexual person.”
I’ve noticed that too. AH, I recommend caution here. The most nastiest liberal, left-wing thing in the world right now is hate crime legislation, and it is philosophically rooted in this confusion where rejection of a belief system is falsely equated with rejection of the person.
This is because in the postmodern mind, there really is no such distinction. A person is not a human soul, but a mere collection of belief constructs. Like transgender theory. A person is whatever gender they believe themselves to be. Biological truth doesn’t matter. Old-fashioned ideas like truth, with its logic and labels and categories, are all just tools of the old guard used to oppress poor victim class X. Fill in the blank. It works for any group.
Well, except those who actually still believe in true truth. They are the ones the left really does love to hate, because they spoil the party. Logic and truth might actually lead to some members of victim class X to move out of that group and see themselves and others objectively. And that would be bad, for the left, because truth can actually stop fights, and they need, above all, the fight. It’s how they gain power.
So you see why Colofornian is right. Your premise is functionally postmodern, even if that is not your intent, and it makes you vulnerable to the same line of reasoning used by every other victim class that has ever become a pawn of the left. That’s who the left is. That’s what they do. Enslave and cocoon people in their matrix of victimology. But once you have taken the “red” pill, you can’t go back to the illusion.
I already said I should have used Mormonism instead of Mormon in that post.
However, it is not unusual to see hatred of individuals arise from hatred of their lifestyle or belief.
It happens.
