    You obviously do not understand what I am saying. I dont think I can explain it to you, especially when you are so sarcastic and opposed to honest conversation.

    The plain and simple is I cannot agree with bigots nor trust someone to pays thousands to lobbyist to back up their bigotry. I dont think this is a political issue; I have said nothing of my politics. I could never trust a human who spends thousands to attempt to erase a third of the population. Saying that I dont trust a homophobe is not “sharing my political opinions”. The lives of gay people may be affected by politics (just as we all are), but that doesn’t mean homophobia (or being against homophobia) is a political opinion.

    You did nothing by quoting my original comment. It only illustrates your categorical misunderstanding of my comments.

      I couldn’t agree more with you👍🏼

      That’s true.

      However, you did not just say that. You mentioned how he supports some homophobic politics (ie. regulation against gay marriage), which you (and I’m sure a lot of people, me included) disagree with. That’s politics.

      You also shared your opinion about why you think privacy is important for our society. That’s also politics.

      I’m not saying that what you said is wrong… I’m saying that what you said is political. Sharing political opinions is ok. It’s not like talking about politics is somehow a bad thing. At least not in this context. A lot of what surrounds the choice of a web browser like this is political.
