This is my exact issue with this article, thank you. I was having trouble expressing it myself, as exhausted as I am, and I'm glad to see people agreeing. Having compassion and love for something 'despite' some part of who they are as a person that you see as wrong or flawed is not really the kind of compassion and love I personally want, and I'd imagine a lot of people agree. My sexuality and gender identity, while not necessarily defining me as a person, is integral to who I am. It is not something that I choose nor can I change it. By ignoring something so important to me, you ignore who I am.
