You chose a pretty poor example.

Have you ever heard of methadone? Its literally accepting that someone will be addicted to opiates for a long time or life and then giving them a healthier alternative that doesnt try to change that.

Yeah, see, no one is bothered by that because no one is saying:

Be proud of your true heroin addicted self. Show it to the world. IF they don't accept your heroin addiction THEY ARE wrong.

See. If any movement said that, I'd be against it. Because they are trying to remove stigma from something that SHOULD HAVE IT.
