I was raised on a lower middle class block that included Brown, Black, Asian, Irainian folks, we lived next to Wally and Chuck, who were the nicest couple you could imagine. You know why? They had a pool and let the kids swim when it was hot. They also brought awesome food to block events.
Nobody cared what they did in their bedroom, something like that wouldn't even compute back then. They also didn't get weird about their lifestyle or demand that everyone embrace it. We were just normal folks respecting each other for our differences and embracing our common humanity.
I would posit that if this guy was your next door neighbor you would have more in common than not, and an underlying respect for each other.
What the progressive left is doing now and weaponizing cancel culture is unconscionable imho.
