    The problem with this is that people disagree about what harms others. Right wing insane people are not living in the same reality that you and I are. They genuinely believe that even seeing a gay person is harmful. They genuinely believe that the existence of gay people is harmful to others.

      Well no, there are objective harms and subjective harms.

      If I slap you that’s an objective harm.

      If I’m gay and that’s objectional to you, that’s a subjective harm to some people.

      Essentially physical acts v emotional harms.
