Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn

I have no idea why all of you settled on "OP was equating taking their civil rights to genocide" but the reading seems clearly bad. "Trivialising genocide" is quite a take and one which I think is clearly silly. The same movement which would take away same-sex marriage is openly salivating about using legal force to commit violent reprisals against the LGBGTQ communities, and lawyering about the precise wording of a comment is stooge work. Have a good one

From your first response to me you have been unnecessarily rude. "Facile"? "Bad-faith"? "Stooge"?

Just because a large number of people don't believe that preventing same-sex marriage is the same as the holocaust doesn't mean we are acting in bad faith.

FWIW, I get the same response from ideologically pure believers when I nitpick their use of phrases like "stare-rape".

I’m simply trying to be as accurate in my descriptions as possible. I apologize that you find it rude, but I don’t want to be misunderstood. Shoehorning the holocaust into this is extremely derailing, and again reads as bad faith strawmanning.

No, he said "Thinks people like me shouldn't exist", which is genocide.

Hitler wanted the Jews to stop existing. Now we have someone complaining that them being prevented from marriage to a partner of their choice is the same thing.

It's not. The original lobbying effort didn't make the argument that homosexual people shouldn't exist. It's an argument purely in the mind of the OP.

So, you're using guilt by association now? Are you accusing everyone who disagrees with you of violence?
