But isn't he saying he does support equality, just that he personally doesn't like "lgbt behavior"? That's the opposite of catering.

It's funny that reactionaries who are obsessed with 'science' refuse to understand or get caught up with the current scientific literature on homosexuality or gender dysphoria.
Homosexuality is not a mental illness. Believing otherwise doesn't make you a "rational skeptic", it makes you a fucking idiot.

The APA removed homosexuality from the DSM in 1974 because it was determined that homosexuality, in and of itself, does not have negative psychological effects and that there's no evidence of homosexual patients responding positively to psychiatric treatment.
The evidence is overwhelming that homosexuality is a normal and harmless variation of human sexuality and sexual identity.
I don't think homosexuality is degenerate or evil, but I don't see any reason why it should be normalized or celebrated either. I really don't see a reason why sexual politics should be a thing. Sexual politics has been a poison to the left and to socialism for the longest time.

I'm gay and find this whole thing to be pretty funny. I briefly considered that maybe my sexuality was somehow a byproduct of Western capitalism but ditched that idea after meeting gay people from the third world who hated Western capitalism with a passion and were just as flaming. Instead of listening to Barbra Streisand they were into Pakistani divas like Abida Parveen.
Radically different culture from my own but also very familiar. IMO within the liberal press there's a kind of pat-on-the-head "good for you for being gay!" tone that I find patronizing. I just want people to leave me the fuck alone, and they largely have because the religious right in my country has been destroyed. So it's odd to me that people are saying that gays are why the left is struggling when homophobia basically no longer has a place in the society. Where you from, anyways? I get the sense that a lot of Zig Forums is in Eastern Europe so it might be different.
