Yeah, I've found myself having to educate people who speak of the Holocaust in reference to the extermination of Jews with the somber reverence it deserves, but then go and spout homophobic bullshit immediately afterward.

I even had to remind a practicing Orthodox Jew that they weren't the only ones who were systematically targeted for genocide, and that I'm one of those people too. I knew it was a bold move, but she took the point well and I didn't press that point further. I wasn't intending to make a wound, but I needed her to know that I was yielding no ground in the argument that we deserve equal human rights in the pursuit of our own lives, liberties, and happiness.
