To you, clearly. People with prejudices and discriminatory views seldom like to be called on them.
I'm not going to go round and round on this again. My preference tends to be to let the market speak, but the fact is there are still too many people like you for that to happen. The anti-LGBTQ person will still find plenty of advocates for their position. Hopefully, someday, there will be so many of us that anyone trying to pull this prejudicial/discriminatory crap will simply find themselves without customers and that will be that. Until then, as with the laws that made it illegal for the "white only" counters and bathrooms, we need those legal protections. Today, in most of the country, a "white only" bathroom would cause that business to fail almost immediately. That was not so when we were first beginning to make the change.
Can't speak for the "leftists." I can speak for myself. The Constitution permits you to say what you think without the government taking action. So you can preach your anti-LGBTQ vitriol on the main street and not be arrested for it. It does not protect you from the rest of us saying, "we don't want to hear it." And it does not protect people who wish to treat other fellow citizens like trash, or restrict their access to the same rights and privileges the rest of us enjoy.
I will always seek to marginalize those who speak to diminish others, Seer. I am not shy about it, and not embarrassed about it. Your complaints echo the complaints of every oppressor who has ever lived: "I have the right to be hateful to others if I so choose."
You're right. You do. You just can't enshrine that hatefulness in law or public practice. Those of us who stand against such things will always speak out against it - even if you cry, scream, call us hypocrites, and make every other effort that oppressors have taken throughout history.
Resisting oppression is not bigotry or prejudice. It is taking a stand for justice. If your god actually does exist, I suspect he/she/it would approve.
