I said nothing about ‘LGBT acceptance’ being political, any more than ‘join the Scouts’ is political. My point is that any message besides remembrance, political or not, is inappropriate in that setting. But I will follow you off-topic to point out that your latest argument is utter hoop because you have conflated ‘acceptance’ with ‘discrimination’. Discrimination is a settled matter politically and law-abiding citizens can indeed be said to be under a moral imperative not to do it. In contrast, you and I might well see LGBT acceptance as a personal moral imperative, but try telling that to those with certain genuinely-held religious beliefs and
see whether you still think it’s an apolitical matter. In fact I can’t think of anything more politically-charged than telling people what to think.
