But even some progressive gay white men say they feel alienated from a movement they see becoming more radical, particularly online, where the tenor of conversation is often uncivil.
Hot take: I'm honestly, vocally sick of settler-gay men who demand that you handle them with kid gloves when their entire existence within the community is an existence blanketed in microaggression at best, when they're not being outright full-on macroaggressive about someone that 'doesn't fit their "preference"'; and I'm genuinely glad people are starting to talk about it.
This goes all the way back to the early suffragette movement where voting rights were to be extended only to white middle/upper class women.
This is simply the core ideology of liberalism. Capitalism cannot function without social antagonism - someone has to be exploited. You literally cannot take that out of the equation. And if equality is extended to every social group, who else but one set of people are you going to blame the ills of society on?.
