You are absolutely correct. And just to prove your point, some American is definitely going to accuse you of being right-wing (since most of lemmy is left) for pointing that out.
What a neat way to directly delegitimize any different opinion, and that even without providing any arguments whatsoever.
Arguments for what? There are plenty of good arguments in the comment I'm responding to.
There are plenty of good arguments in all the comments reacting to the comment and factually arguing why it's just wrong. And I don't even care about their political orientation (as if their blatant homophobic hadn't given it away), but it doesn't change whether the statement is right or wrong.
My point was just that your comment was essentially a shield against any disagreeing arguments (that you could say "I told you so" and not need to actually engage with the arguments) but didn't even provide any arguments on its own.
