It hits on a point most leftists need to get into their head, optics matter. I'm more or less on the leftist side of the fence when it comes to issues like gay marriage being legal or climate change being a major issue that should be taken seriously. But there's so many goddamn idiots running the media circus of course you're going to lose the battle for public opinion.

If the gay agenda image is two men in suits otherwise behaving like Mormon saints then the right wing opposition is weak and they don't have ammunition. Of course the leftist answer to that is "fuck that I'm not letting the right dictate how I should live" and then extreme cases you get the stupid drag queen children's time with some dumbass with a dildo making sexual gestures in front of children. I'm sorry do you want everyone who is right of you to think y'all are pedophiles? You gotta do gatekeeping and optics pruning to keep these idiots out of the public light. Yes that includes shaming pedophiles for wanting to live their authentic self.

Otherwise the right can just do what they do now is go to pride parade set up a camera and be all like "see we told you these people are all sexual deviant pedophiles". and see polling success.

Same with the climate cunts that block traffic and do other stupid things. Average Joe cares about how the issue effects him specifically and if the effect is "I can't get to work and provide for my family" naturally he's going to take the opposite position. We need to do more to keep these dumb fucking kids under control.
