"I'm a gay conservative"

[Magical Realist]

I actually agree with this thought by Charlie Kirk. But I also don't think being gay should be censored from conversation either. It's a fine line. Being gay is really more than about just sex. It's about who you can love and how you find meaning in your life when you don't fit into society's mold for you.

Yah, the "label" part is dead on in terms of being evaluated as an individual rather than being defined [politically and beyond] by a generic identity. But Kirk's own Christian identity is publicly inserting itself with regard to part of the conversation...

For instance... He and Dave Rubin were close friends, despite his similarly disagreeing with Rubin's marriage. Though I don't see how Kirk could justifiably classify the latter a "lifestyle", since it's a monogamous relationship (and apparently not just in terms of mere appearance). Not that he did do that, but his kind of playing loose in assuming a stranger is automatically part of a promiscuous "lifestyle" just because of the orientation sort of suggests he might have done similarly with Rubin.

No one, other than the LGBT, introduce themselves by who they are attracted to or their gender. Even Christians don't regularly go around introducing themselves as "hi, I'm so and so and I'm a Christian," even though the linchpin of your worldview would be much more informative. Of course, the LGBT do seem to make that part of them central to their worldview. So unless one is conservative, there's really not much difference between saying you're LGBT or saying you're a Democrat, worldview-wise.

The "lifestyle," for a Christian, is living outside of God's will. Promiscuity is objectively worse, but homosexuality is still a Biblically sin.
It would be hypocritical for a Christian to disapprove of promiscuity but then approve of something else the Bible forbids.
