Tons of people DO speak out against it. I'm gay and I never read r/LGBT because it's such a shit-show of radical conformity. r/ainbow was started basically as a revolt against r/LGBT mods, and there are other places like r/gaybros and r/gaymers.

r/LGBT basically got taken over by shitty mods, all they really have going for them at this point is their easily searchable name.

Same here. I was in SF and was "outed" as a centrist. I was labelled a Nazi a few times on Twitter - by people I knew, in real life, within proximity to my friends circle.

I ultimately had to move out of SF as I felt incredibly out of place simply for not being far left. I'm no conservative, and I've seen plenty of hate for being gay from the right. But the last 5 or so years, much of that hate is coming from the far left now.

You see exactly the same thing in ecology/environmental circles.

If you're concerned about climate change and resource constraints but you don't see a problem with migrating or bringing seven billion people up to American consumption and carbon emission standards, I don't know what to tell you.

Neoliberalism has infected every progressive movement and it's disgusting.
