Really? Or is the problem just that the wrong people in your opinion engage in such activity over the wrong topics? And how do you determine which subjects "have nothing to do with" someone?

If I dedicated my life to gay people and fought with red-faced outrage against homophobia and the ridiculous bigotry accompanying it, do I have serious issues? What if I joined you in the fight against sexism? What if Leagle was an activist against racism? Do these things have nothing to do with us on an individual level? Do sexism, homophobia, racism, etc. have a larger impact to "us" as a society, or does it only have something to do with the target group? Does it have something to do with you indirectly?

Not trying to start anything (for a change). I'm just wondering what you mean.
