That's not a little misstep, that's a major example of bigotry. This attempt to paint people who don't consider it reasonable to put their basic humanity up for debate as unreasonable for insisting on being treated as full humans is and for not engaging in "Dialogue" about whether they are full humans just makes no sense.If people in this thread were actually arguing that Ernie and his supporters should be taken and subject to imprisonment and torture until they say they've changed their minds, or that if they suffer an injury that EMTs should refuse to treat them and simply laugh as they bleed out into the street, I don't think you'd be here saying it's polarizing and unreasonable to condemn them. I just doubt that all of this 'both sides' stuff and talk of "Dialogue" would be your response (and certainly wouldn't be the mods' response). Yet the people who Ernie has chosen to ally with want exactly that for LGBT people in the real world (conversion therapy and laws to protect religious-based medical malpractice) and have already passed into law in many places.</blockquote>
