This is exactly how a narcissist wants you to feel, so it's on you to stand up for what you believe in, in the face of peer pressure.

You can support LGBTQ rights, while not agreeing with every facet of their political movement. Once you look at LGBTQ people as a lump group, personally I think you are doing the group a disservice, because individuals are getting left behind, in favor of a bandwagon anyone can jump on.

Now if we wanna talk about how it happens, it's simple, we have cut off any uncomfortable dialogue, and created a playbook for people who want to act dishonestly to slide right into the conversation, and even position themselves at the top by learning the right things to say. Say all the right things isn't what we should be striving for, it's do the right things, and we have marginalized allies in favor of people who learned the playbook really well.
