    Spot on. Also, this same observation about this construction applies to its use in other situations, for instance antivaxers or quacks who use it.https://twitter.com/Ali_Davis/status/1138299453750689792 …

    I would like to talk about the "I don't agree with it" construction. You know the one. "I'm not prejudiced against homosexuals. I just don't agree with it. I just don't agree with the lifestyle."

        In these cases, it's not necessarily bigotry being defended, but pseudoscience and quackery.

        Basically, if you say, "I disagree with that" and can't articulate a reasonable argument for why you disagree, you're using it as a cop-out.

        In the case of "I disagree" with LGBTQ, it's straight up a way of expressing bigotry in a way that (you think) is less likely to get you called a bigot.

        If you ask them what exactly about it they don’t agree with, it all kind of falls apart. We know, they just won’t say it directly unless pressed.
