I'd imagine my definitions of what is racist, homophobic or biased are a lot more realistic than the current SJWs leading the current Democratic party, yes.
Remember Tom, as a gay man you have many conservative allies who find the past, and some current, treatment of gays reprehensible.
But the idea that because you (the royal you, not you-you) are gay, or black, or trans, or socialist, or violent anti-fa or neo Nazi doesn't mean you get to define how others see you through their own thoughts or sayings, nor that you should get preferential* treatment.
And that is the big crux of all these matters, isn't it? One side is saying the other side can't say or think what they want.
This is about the Constitution, about freedom. But in today's world if you love freedom, then you will be hated by the modern liberal who believes that government should regulate individual freedom. Leftists only believe in free Leftist speech and that is dangerous.
(I said preferential, not equal. Don't you dare. We are all in this together, and together equally)
