      I mean, whatever, at this level of homophobia they clearly want to exterminate anyone who isn't a cishet Christian. "Pushing their buttons" is just a shortcut to get them angry enough to admit it.

        Well, yeah. If you can get them to say that, it's the fastest way to discredit them to anyone listening/lurking.

      I found this to have funny results for people who are all hurt about dating dynamics as well. "Oh, so you would rather be a woman?"
