26. I do feel that their homophobia harms me, by extension

that is, homophobia - statistically (in terms of attacks) and anecdotally - is on the rise, and that is definitely due to the increased power of the Religious Right.

I don't take these things personally, but when I look at the constellation of factors which are feeding this homophobia, they are one of those pinpoints of light.

I wouldn't necessarily characterize it as being "personally hunted" but as a member of a group on their shit list, I do see the connect between their rhetoric and people's attitudes.
