        I’m speaking of the people in general against pride/LGBT. If they actually believed what they preached then we would not be where we currently are.

          Yeah, that’s fair (although honestly, I think many of those people don’t “preach” anything like love is love). I just didn’t like that you implied straight people would generally not do that, but yeah, I’d agree if you said “all of them”.

          Well, the people against pride are not the ones thinking love is love. They’re the ones thinking love is only right between a cis straight man and woman. This meme is directed at straight allies, not adversaries.

            Hi, “straight ally” here. The meme’s (and @einlander’s) intent was obvious and I’m not offended. Moreover, I would go so far as to say that anybody who does get offended was lying when they claimed to be an ally in the first place.

            Y’all have way better things to do than to try to white-knight for the already-privileged majority, LOL!

              Sure, I was not saying the meme is not ok, I was trying to correct eilander’s probable misunderstanding of who the meme is directed at. I was not evaluating the meme’s legitimacy.
