You’re not a human shield.
You’re an easy target.
This situation didn’t reduce overall hostility against LGBTQ people, it increases hostility. You’re like the asshole in the tribe that makes the other tribes hate everyone here, because you associate with us.
Your logic only sort of works with an internet forum mindset, where banning and blocking are incredibly easy options.

I don’t usually make much of an effort here, but thank you for noticing that I put some thought into these.
