Wait. What are you doing? Stop reading DU from even a few years ago. All of those people you see attacking LGBTers and telling them to STFU are just, uhm, illusions. No, that's not right. They're, uhm, dopplegangers. Yes. Everyone here was always 100% supportive at all times.
Everyone.
At least, that's what we're told now.
Once every great while, I'll go back and read from 2008-2012 on LGBT issues on DU and see all the names (still very much present) of people who were totally awful to my community, who ran off a lot of my brothers and sisters. It's like some kind of perverse super bonus if you can spot those same posters who today claim only they truly care about LGBT and minority issues.
It would be offensive if it couldn't be written off as some kind of light form of online sociopathy. Sometimes you gotta choose amusement.
