  • I'm bisexual and against gay marriage.
    My position on the matter is much the same as yours. I'm concerned by how coercive the politics is, too. Running up to my city's LGBT Pride March, key figures don't just praise businesses that support Pride, but are talking about calling out businesses that DON'T support Pride, and criticising businesses that use LGBT rainbows in their marketing around Pride March time without expressly supporting Pride. Like, 'how dare you be neutral'.

    We are in a unique position to present this position because it is harder to say to us 'you don't know what it's like', or (making it an identity politics issue) 'how dare you, a part of the majority, restrict the rights of an already persecuted minority that you don't belong to'. Except that there are some issues with making sexual preference a permanent marker of identity, like race is... not all people identify under the same label all their lives long.

    • Yeah in a lot of places LGBT rights activism has gone way to far like you described.
