That’s the thing, if that’s all they did a little opinion difference wouldn’t matter. I also wouldn’t care. That’s not what they do though, they use their money and fame harm others. He went on Glenn Beck to support his 9/12 movement, was outspoken about being anti-lgbt, and donated money to those causes. Similar to JK Rowling, who some say to just ignore, then she also started donating her wealth to bigoted causes as well.
Assuming rich and famous people’s opinions can’t cause actual harm is just ignorance.
I didnt say they cant cause harm, I said i like his movies and the guy seems alright to me, since I dont put pro-lgbt as my primary reason for liking a person in this world.
I think if you want to live in a democracy, you have to be OK with people having opinions you dont agree with.
Some of them will be bigots but perhaps have other qualities that are making up for it. Some will not like lbqt and thats something a lot of people dont like outside of Lemmy. So I dont know, I just dont look for these heroes that are perfect in my eyes.
Some of the pro-lgbt people here are most likely not very good people as well in other areas. Its just how people are…
I think the best we can do is accept that everyone has their own path in life, and their own purpose. We may not agree with that but they are here for a reason, just like you are. As long as you can remain non-hateful against people you dont like, I think thats a very good accomplishment, since everyone is trying to make us fight eachother over opinions.
