At this point is seems like a compliment rather than an insult, to be told that one is not a "true LGBT" person because of one's views. We say L/G/B and mean sexuality; they say "LGBT"/"LGBTQ" and mean a set of beliefs.

Like that time they attacked a gay politician for "Acting straight" and "Not being queer enough" I want to slap those people. Would they dare say that shit to say, a co-workers face if they knew he/she was homosexual? Idiots...

It's so they can have it both ways.

Pete Buttigieg (sp?) in America wasn't a caricature of what gay men should be like; he didn't attend the debates in fetish gear; he didn't mince around the stage or speak exclusively in Drag Race memes henny; he 'wasn't queer enough' because he's basically a boring politician who lives a white, suburban life.

If he had been a flag waving, mincing disaster, he would obviously not get elected because 'America wasn't ready for an LGBTQIA+ president'.

This article was a real eye-opener when it came to progressive homophobia.
