Allow me to clarify. First, I am a gay man, legally married to another man for over a decade.

However, there are many other issues that are more important to me, especially when the major lgbT issues on the table right now concern intrusive demands I don’t believe in. Especially those of trans people.

I am more concerned about the widening economic gap between rich and poor, concentration of wealth and value in fewer hands, the centralization of control of almost everything that matters, unchecked immigration, and the right of the common man or woman to be left alone: whether you’re gay or straight, or even a straight person who doesn’t want to be around gay people.

Yeah, sure, Trump isn’t great. But Biden is a dumpster fire. Either way our country is going to collapse, but it will collapse faster under Biden. Maybe that’s a reason to vote for him, just so we can get it over with more quickly.

Allow me to clarify.

Go ahead.

First, I am a gay man, legally married to another man for over a decade.

Great. Is antidiscrimination legislation supporting gay men married to other gay men for over a decade not important to you?

However, there are many other issues that are more important to me, especially when the major lgbT issues on the table right now concern intrusive demands I don’t believe in.

You don't care about being sacked for being gay?

Why not?

I am more concerned about the widening economic gap between rich and poor

Another reason not to vote for Trump.

concentration of wealth and value in fewer hands

A third reason not to vote for Trump.

the centralization of control of almost everything that matters

A fourth reason not to vote for Trump.

unchecked immigration

immigration has been increasing since the 1970s. But certainly Trump has separated parents and children at the border to discourage illegals and asylees.

If you're devoid of empathy, perhaps that some comfort to you. But that doesn't speak very highly of your character.

and the right of the common man or woman to be left alone

Okay, you've lost me here. What are we talking about?

whether you’re gay or straight, or even a straight person who doesn’t want to be around gay people.

Strange view for a gay man. Why don't you say "even a gay person who doesn't want to be around straight people"?

Yeah, sure, Trump isn’t great.

Indeed. As far from it as the US has seen in my lifetime.

But Biden is a dumpster fire.

In what way? Supporting gay rights?

Either way our country is going to collapse, but it will collapse faster under Biden.

That's ridiculous. Trump tried to overthrow the democracy last time. You can't collapse it faster than that.

Do you support Trump's tax breaks for the ultra rich?
