Who is “they?” Are you suggesting that all laborers are homophobic?

You are a part of the problem. You see the entire world as two camps: crazy woke and racist/imperialist. This is wrong.

I don't freak out over homosexuals. I see how "cultural appropriation" is bs. You can have those two ideas in your head at once. In fact, the vast majority do! Because it's the only sane position.
