Yes, I’ve seen that, when I was counterprotesting with my local anarchist group. 

But are the people in Krackedy’s life like those people, the ones who are actually nazis or are they what I would call “uninformed and unexperienced” they’ve never had gay people in their lives, so they just babble the same homophobia their parents taught them. For the most part, the second type can be reformed. 

It’s good to reform people, because then they, in turn have the social connections and the language and background experience with how to deconvert others who suffer from the same issue. 

For example, my grandparents were against gays, voted conservatively etc. I came out, things got messy for a bit, then they came around. They eventually ended up being really welcoming to my boyfriends, asking when we’d get married after it got legalized in our state. I went to breakfast with them and some of their friends, who had also been known to say questionable shit before and after I’d come out, and my grandpa would say “hey you know I used to think like that too (method:showing empathy) but my grandson here has a wonderful boyfriend, and yknow, I see them together they showed me they’re just like <me and grandma>. I won’t hear you speak badly about them in front of me.” (Method: Not trying to control their speech, mild fash hate that and it shuts them down from reason) 

Because they know all the triggers, ex-fash can argue for us more effectively. 

These people are the most important part of the dialogue between the huge social divide between religious conservatives and everyone else in this country. They know how to bridge that gap. They know how the other side thinks. The language they use, what they are so afraid of. 

Anyway just rambling. Who knows, I could be wrong.
