    The rest of us do know how to do the right thing. You’re not doing anything, your lily-white inaction is moral masturbation. Doing the right thing requires considering the suffering of others over your own passive comfort. Often that means making tough decisions. How much will suffering increase because puritanical children refused to sully their hands on anyone who wasn’t perfect? Childish and simplistic.

      Doing the right thing requires considering the suffering of others

      And you’re trying to spin that as something selfish, as if I don’t have to live with the consequences of US politics as a gay man.
