That's sad! You are a good person, you don't deserve to be mistaken for a heterosexual!

You are describing the general mentality of the left. They push their own values and beliefs as being the only correct values and or beliefs. Even if you don't have much of an opinion one way or another, they will impose their will and insist that if you do not only accept but also embrace whatever it is they are promoting, you are now the problem /enemy.

The right side seem to be more empathetic while the left tend to seek more of a sympathetic response to their issues.

Edit. A perfect example of this is this very thread. You accept others values or beliefs. But you do not embrace them. Thus you are now a problem. You are not sympathetic to their cause. Empathy is not longer enough.

LMAO this fuckin' guy.

Somehow I had forgotten all about Trump's empathetic stance toward immigrants and people murdered by police until now. /s

Wow. 3 responses to the post by @laudern and not a single one addressing anything he said.
I'm asking him if what he says is true. I'm simply curious and wanting to know more, I directly addressed what he said by asking if what he said was true. I like learning things :)
