Hello, Apologies for responding to your message in this manner - you appear to have an honest intention to end this argument peacefully and that is very much to your credit. Nonetheless, I believe an analogy in similar words to yours may help The Just And Righteous understand what they are currently doing and will no doubt continue doing in words they hopefully understand and take to heart.

Let me say at once that I was born in a place where homophobia and "traditional values" are currently being promoted at the state and public level.
Moreover... My native language even has a separate swear word for homosexual men, and it is actively used as an insult.
Moreover...My native language even has a separate swear word for conservative men, and it is actively used as an insult.
Despite this, I grew up a person who believes that LGBTQ people are just like everyone else (historically, physically, psychologically). Despite this, I grew up a person who believes that conservative white men are just like everyone else (historically, physically, psychologically).
And I partly understand how hard it is for them. After all, in my circle of friends and acquaintances (when I was at university), it turns out, there were people like that. They kept it a secret from society, from the state, and even from their parents. They were only able to feel free when they left.
And I absolutely - being one myself - understand how hard it is for them. After all, in my circle of friends and acquaintances (when I was at university and later at work), it turns out there were conservative men. They kept it a secret from society, the state and even from their parents. They were not even able to feel free by leaving because most of the world is "progressive" these days. What is the solution to people like me existing? Regards, An Anonymous Techie
