but we have to stop lashing out on suspicion
I wrote two sentences about how it feels a bit off to me. I didn't "lash out".
In response, I got a 500 word essay trying to encourage me not to challenge the status quo. The fact that you interpreted a short post, which wasn't aggressive, and was clearly an expression of a personal opinion as "lashing out" is something I think you should look at. You're projecting something on to me...
I went off a little bit, but returning to the comment in question. I don't believe it was meant in any sort of disregard to any one walk of life.
I agree, but that doesn't mean there's nothing underneath it. Normalised homophobia, racism and sexism are all things. They're often invisible, which is how they get normalised in the first place. People repeating them often don't even realise that they are. Challenging those norms is a good thing, because it helps people look at things from a perspective they may not have actively considered before, and that is how change happens.
