Ok, so you do admit that opposition to gay marriage is based on hate. Good.

And the discussion was about the fact that the vast majority of conservative policies are dictated by fear. Have you forgotten?

Can you give me one singular reason to oppose gay marriage that isn’t based on hate?

Yeah. There’s a lot of things that conservatives hate, that’s what I was saying since the beginning. And I didn’t even mention the hate of non-christians, for example, or for socialists.

And if you support some things but not the others, you’re still supporting policies based on hate, so my point stands

Well… if a conservative:

• supports gay marriage
• doesn’t believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
• is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
• supports transgender athletes
• supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
• is okay with drag shows and doesn’t believe they’re automatically unsuitable for children
• doesn’t believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
• supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country’s history
• supports immigration
• supports diversity and inclusion
• doesn’t believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
• doesn’t support patriarchy
• defends women’s rights to abortion
• believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

Is this person still a conservative?

Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven’t you heard?

How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?

Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren’t, you’re hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives

I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I’m not scared of made-up culture war bullshit

Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype
