        There's a problem with this kind of logic. Being ok w/ bigotry is a choice and it hurts people, a person's lifestyle/ethnicity isn't.

        At least liberals in US are more powerful than right. In India (Modi) bhakts dominate twitter. You don't want the other way, trust me

        In fact several NRI(ndians) supported Trump, just out of spite for Muslims back home. No sympathies if they feel awkward now.

        "voted for"? Simply suggest that maybe he's not Hitler & that ~60MM Americans may not be bigots is enough to get marginalized.

        except voting for Trump was a choice, while being gay is not. Is this seriously still not understood?

        that's sounds like you know, maybe voting for Trump means you don't like liars and corrupt political leaders, or bad people?

        The context (in a political enclave like Mountain View) is far less ridiculous.

        piece is large bit of countertransference, similar to how Trump makes up terrorist attacks and blames media for "fake news"

        Maybe if half of the country was gay in the 1950s?
