Yeah. Yeah. The idea of "we hate what you do but love who you are" is one of the most disgusting and hypocritical messages ever, and all my empathy and love for anyone who had to deal with that shit.
In rebuttal, I always like to offer Ecclesiastes 7:13 "Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what He has made crooked?"
