Yes: "Even the most tolerant heterosexual may question why they’re seeing Pride flags at their local hardware store or plastered on a bag of Doritos." Forced teaming has caused harm to the LGB community, and that makes me sad. Throat shoving has gone too far, and it too is causing harm. Trans activism has gone too extreme. But perhaps it had to go off the rails before others could question it and make a course correction?

I am hoping with all my heart that we can steer this train back on course before it veers over a cliff. I also worry that the same dynamic has gripped the black community. Throat shoving has its limits with respect to all of the myriad victim groups who are being exploited.

So well said. Perhaps initial good intentions went so extreme and then off the rails that it has all backfired for many groups. I hope it can all find its way back to a better place.
