There are reactionaries that use the language and aesthetic of leftism to cloak their own racist or anti-LGBT rhetoric, like Caleb Maupin. They are real, and they have to be called out.

To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.
