No, everybody on the left needs to call out homophobic bigotry. Everyone on the left needs to reject religious teachings that queer people are abominations, or that we are — as the Roman Catholic Church teaches — depraved and disordered.

If you don't agree with that, you don't deserve to call yourself a leftist or progressive.

Anybody who insists otherwise? Fight me.

You can insist otherwise all you like, but I will continue to work as hard as I can to persuade people that you are evil and need to be treated as the evil person you are — the exact moral equivalent of a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

I'm not an abomination!
I am not depraved!
I am not disordered!

It's hard to imagine anyone defending teachings to the contrary. It's hard to imagine why you even replied to my post, frankly.
