question:
Comment: I am reminded of Martin Luther King's "Letter From A Birmingham Jail". I am particularly reminded of this paragraph:

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

Substitute "homosexual" for "Negro", and it rings true in this situation.
answer:
Identity-attack


question:
Comment: Peter: The reason why it's difficult to take deal with issues raised in the letter is that the writer is largely dealing in hyperbole and bromides.  

Here's an example: "Trump’s tax cuts would increase investment, boost productivity and wages and increase innovation and opportunities for all Americans." That's silly. Tax cuts for the super-wealthy don't result in any of those things (or if they do the effect is neglible). The Bush tax cuts sure didn't result in that stuff. 

Most of the other statement are similar. Just a whole bucket of simplistic statements with little regard for the complexity of any of these issues.
answer:
Non-identity-attack
