His sexuality isn’t even referenced about this despite the sensationalized headline.

I came out to my family as gay at the ripe age of 20, and they were duly overjoyed.

His BA in painting is a hilarious irony, given the other threads on this board. I would have hoped you could pick that up.

His “experiences” are most definitely opinion based, as he doesn’t cite any real instances.
quote:

But a number of my friends no longer have time to see me. Lifelong acquaintances now regard me with fear and distrust. I have been unfriended en masse on social media and excoriated by friends who deign to remain. And I have been singly excluded from social gatherings when the rest of my family was invited.

I had few friends with whom I could have a civil political conversation: one stopped all communication with me for two weeks because Trump won the presidency.

I was labeled a white supremacist by a friend I’ve known my entire life, and completely dropped with no explanation by another dear friend and self-anointed giant of the gay civil rights movement to whom my father had introduced me 15 years ago.

1. The headline would suggest his family/friends were not tolerant of him being gay. Seeing as they are, it’s inclusion is both confusing and irrelevant to the point the author is attempting to write about. This board claims to hate when people use their sexuality/status as a qualification.

2. You don’t enjoy the irony about the BA in painting? I found it hilarious.

3. I hope you realize those are precisely the opinion based generalized stories I was referring. “Poor me; they don’t have time for me anymore because I’m a republican” Are you kidding me? These are all things he himself deduced, obviously...which of course, is an opinion. Take this example: “everyone on TD board hates me because I’m a veteran”. 100% an opinion I could have, and write about, with a click bait title.

This is such a frustrating conversation. Your insistence on propping up a garbage piece, on a issue where we actually agree, is astounding. Pieces like this are horrible, and deserve to go straight into the trash.

If you’ll notice, HHM stopped criticizing after I pointed out the flaws, and the fact that I actually agree that liberals can be intolerant despite the rhetoric.
