Discriminating against homophobic people is going to discriminate against a lot of Muslims, Russians etc. Discriminating against racists is going to discriminate against a lot of people from all over the world. Are you OK with that?
Just because some people disagree with the action of homosexuality, doesn't automatically imply it is a phobia. That is a fallacy.

Given Yarvin's Jewish, my guess is he's not a white supremacist.

Who is Yarvin? How is that relevant? I am not talking about a specific person, I am talking about the argument being made for accepting everyone no matter their "belief".

Sorry, misread. Curtis Yarvin's the conference speaker.

"White" is a social construct that changes with politics. Hilariously, the Irish weren't considered "white" in the US, and had to achieve whiteness. Moldbug is surrounded with white privilege in a country where blacks are regularly murdered by the state in broad daylight.
Everyone should feel included! Racists, homophobes... Respect the beliefs of everyone, like believing there is a god, or that white people are superior, or believing you are being discriminated, or believing people will insult you or assault you at a whim for who you are, or believing you belong in a community full of racist assholes. It's OK 100%, all beliefs are equal, so we shouldn't discriminate people based on that!
That would be even worse than racism if you think about it."
I'm sad and disgusted.
