You think believing someone can be openly gay and Republican is homophobic?
Or maybe you just don’t like the political implications of what I’m saying, and how that effects the practicality of your ideology.
Replace ‘openly gay’ with 'supports universal healthcare. Better?

Uhhh, yeah I’m sure people who support universal healthcare have that hardwired into their brain from childhood. Totally the same thing.
it’s totally not a conclusion based on analysis of material conditions.

Ugh… I’m kind of tired of clarifying this. I didn’t say ‘gay’ I said ‘openly gay’, keyword ‘openly’, you understand the distinction do you not?
No, I think it’s fairly bigoted to compare an open existence to a political act. To say the dignity to exist without hiding one’s nature is a political act is pretty fucked up. It’s not a political act for straight people to exist.
This exact argument is why people get away with bigotry, calling it all political, implying the non political thing would be to hide and make sure no one sees you.
Perhaps if you’re tired of clarifying this, you should rethink your stance.
