Yeah, like a lynching by the religious.
When LBGTQ activists tacitly embrace post-modern ideas to support their positions it gives the more moderate religious folks common cause with the more extreme factions. On AF you don't get to see my arguments with the fringe right. I object just as strongly with biblical literalism on the issues. Someone in the middle, like me, who is willing to make ADA like accommodations to those with gender dysphoria, gets it from both sides. The fundies want it to be all about willful perversion and the activists want to normalize a mental illness. My beef isn't with transgenderism or homosexuality as-such; but as the underlying postmodern and/or anti-realist assumptions that inform the activist stance. My own views do not come directly from a wooden reading of scripture; but rather, a philosophical commitment to the notion that it means something to be human and that there are universal virtues associated with human nature.
