Let them tell their story. They don’t need corporate welfare to take up their cause.
I have no agenda and agree that everybody’s story is a valid story, and one that I’ll listen to. I have NO duty nor obligation to agree with it though. Many things are collectively agreed upon as accepted that I have fundamental issues with. Drugs (legalization of), drinking any alcohol while driving, infidelity, to name just a few. But, when PepsiCo tries to tell me what their interpretation of those unique, individualized stories are, I immediately ignore everything they’ve ever said about that subject.
Horse’s mouth, not agreed upon collective social group think. We are ALL different, we ALL have unique stories to tell. Categorizing them neatly and placing labels or stereotypes does a massive disservice to everyone’s story. It homogenizes it, into nothing more than room temperature oatmeal.
I have a very fundamental and philosophical difference than you. When people disagree it doesn’t mean they wish less than well upon those they disagree with. It simply means:
We ALL have unique stories to tell and we ALL have a right to our voices, opinions, and beliefs.

Only they have the right to decide who can and cannot speak for them. So, unless they complain or say they feel disrespected? All of us need to butt out and let whomever they are comfortable with speak. And I’m not hearing many gay people complain. But a shit ton of straight people started bitching the moment it became clear she was gay.

Pretty sure, you don’t have enough personally identifiable information on the number of posters here to identify sexual orientation. You’re assuming. As Twain once stated (or at least attributed to him): “It’s not what I don’t know that gets me into trouble, it’s what I know for sure, that just ain’t true.” But, why is it that you want to speak for them? I don’t, clearly. Is there some contractual agreement you alone have with everybody in the entire LGBTQ community that when you speak for each of them individually, your word should be considered dogma? Clearly and obviously, you aren’t the only person in the world exposed to the non hetero world. There are no doubt, differences of opinion there, also. They are varied and unique as we all are. Are there people who are using perjorative and homophobic slurs right now, on these forums. Sure, yep, I hope you are reporting them. I know I do, and will. This forum will be better off without them. But, when a poster states clearly and unambiguously that they don’t care about a person’s sexual orientation, hetero or non, but they disagree with the emphasis placed on that specific portion of the character development. There is Nothing wrong with that. That is the very definition of difference of opinions. Like you said VERY clearly, everybody’s has a story and those voices deserved to be heard. To which, I agree wholeheartedly. Everybody.
