Also, if one is a homophobe I don’t really care as long as they keep it to themselves.
But tolerating someone who tries to push back LGBTQ+ rights and giving them a chance to do so just because they are a communist is a really bad thing.
Bruh pick one, or you tolerate or you dont, this is very hypocritical, the Maupin tweet you showed is literally saying “i dont support what you are saying on this, but i still will fight by your side” how is this different from “Also, if one is a homophobe I don’t really care as long as they keep it to themselves.”?
You can’t really force people not to be homophobic. You can stop them from presenting their reactionary views, explain why they are wrong, but if they are a stubborn homophobe you will just have to let them be. I don’t tolerate homophobic people, I would not associate myself with homophobic people. The difference is that you should do everything you can do to prevent them from being homophobic and spreading their shitty bigotry but there is only so much you can do.
