    The question is whether people and to what extent used any ethnic/religious/social connections to be supported, to avoid criticism. This is not a matter of anyone’s background but personality, whether someone works for a good cause or not. But I see that it won’t make much sense to discuss it.

    For example, I can see how the term antisemitism is misused in some scenarios (such as when some people wish any critique of the state of Israel and its politics equals antisemitism when it doesn’t). But I’m neither a type who applauds race conspiracies. If conspiracy guys often say that some petty stuff is used to divide people, why they can’t see it in every possible case? The issue is not someone’s ethnicity or similar stuff but who they are as a person, using their resources and what such person wants to do with others.

    Sorry that my post attracted a few neo nazis.It should be noted that this person above is cherry picking the people who happened to be jewish while completely ignoring all the non jewish people who founded the LGBT movement.Funny enough, i looked up Henry Gerber and there's no evidence he was jewish.

    Same. I can see myself that there are Jewish people who support various sketchy things but that doesn’t make the whole Jewish community evil. And considering those who might be of Jewish descent and don’t care about all that shit LOL. And yes, as you said there were also others who supported it - someone else might as well said “all Caucasians are evil because they backed LGBT”.

    I think boiling it down to ethnicity is a wrong take, thank you for your opinion too, very based.
