No? How is a nuclear family discount inherently offensive enough to be worth getting out pitchforks out over? I don’t agree that being bigots is enough either. They are backwards, lots of people are backwards, and harassing them probably won’t yield any constructive outcomes. So if they aren’t actively harming others, then what are you going to achieve here.
As a broader question, who gets to be the arbiter of acceptable harassment?

Why am I intentionally missing the point? I don’t think platforming harassment is ever justified or constructive. Your assumption that I am acting in bad faith with no evidence is the same kind of ignorance that a lot of the right wing wackos have.

Putting aside the ridiculousness of calling you an asshole for not being familiar with internal US bullshit, that is a fair scenario. If a shop has a ‘discounts for straights’ sign in their window, why is it not ok to call them out?

There is a difference between calling someone out and using an online platform to organize against them.
As a counterpoint, would you be alright if people started calling out businesses for having discounts for LGBTQ+, or women, or new immigrants?

I know you’re intentionally missing the point to be an asshole but in explaining for anyone who legitimately missed it was June and and a concerted effort to declare it a straight pride month.
Imagine anybody not being in the US and not knowing the details of whatever bullshit of the day, automatically being an asshole.

Since the other comment got deleted — For anybody else confused, this was a US-specific bullshit where ‘nuclear family’ got used as a dogwhistle for homophobia.
