      Medical experts have come around to homosexuality not being a disease since the 70’s (in USA) so I’d hope the mentality you speak of is diminished now.

      By repeating those claims you are perpetuating those harms, regardless of what you “really believe.”

        No.

        It’s good to understand why people, even those with whom we disagree, are making the decisions they are making.

        I’m sure you would rather those who disagree with you seek to understand why you make the choices you do etc.

          Then you know better than most that there is enough darkness in this world, and no need for you to write more of it

            To ignore it is to give it more power to grow. The 1930’s proved ignoring it doesn’t make it go away

              “The Jews could have prevented the holocaust if they’d just played devil’s advocate a little harder” is one of the most morally reprehensible takes I’ve ever seen in an online space, and one I simply cannot believe anyone can make in good faith.
