E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

    It just seems like you’re saying “political issue” but what you mean is “doesn’t affect them”.

    Yeah, that is exactly what I said and what I meant. It was my point. Thank you for getting the point?

    At some point it’s a forced choice, and sitting out isn’t really an option.

    Idk, the fact that the Log Cabin Republicans exist kinda proves that it is. Even LGBT people can reconcile Republican ideals and their own LGBT identity. It’s much easier for someone that isn’t LGBT to ignore LGBT issues. And the majority of people wont have someone close to them be LGBT, making it even easier to not care about them.

      Yea it is easier for them to ignore. Choosing to ignore it is still a choice. And the effect of that choice is the continued suspension of human rights. There is no true option of sitting out.

      The point is framing it as a “political issue” takes the responsibility off of them. Again, it’s true they see it that way, but all I hear is they only care about themselves.
