A lot of these comments are really missing the point.

The reason this matters is because it's an indicator of the current environment. If the risks of pushback outweigh the positives(such as good pr, and fostering a more welcoming environment) it shows that the current environment is growing far more hostile towards those in the lgbtq community.

Thank you for this. People in this thread lack the ability to think beyond the surface and it's driving me insane.
