If you’re passionate about advocating for anti-discrimination laws, how should you introduce yourself to strangers? For instance, if you’re a lesbian, should you let people know about your sexuality? Or does it not matter whether you reveal your identity as a lesbian?
I believe the ideal situation is to not reveal your identity as a lesbian. This isn’t because you have to hide it, but because it shouldn’t influence others’ decisions. Isn’t that the primary purpose of introducing anti-discrimination laws?
I understand the desire of lesbians to disclose their identity in public. They don’t want to be misidentified as heterosexual women. As a heterosexual woman, I wholeheartedly support your decision because I don’t want to be associated with you as a member of the same group. Do you see where I’m going? This argument can be further developed to discuss hate speech and hate crimes.
