    The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. There is no ‘positive’ application of homophobia, even if the intent is to do something positive.

      You put it more elegantly than I ever could. I have thought about this before and couldn’t really put it to words

      you can’t use logic to get someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to enter, but you can use basic (benevolent) emotional manipulation to gently steer them to a slightly less crazy/hateful cult.

      whether the time investment to do that is worth it depends on the person/how valuable they and your time are to you
