Utter bull****.

Never once did Cherie say people are just as bad... nor did she make that point

Once again the point Cherie made was LGBT have undergone decades of having slurs thrown at them and being called offensive words on the basis of being gay. And that those people especially would understand that generalising a whole population with slurs gets you nowhere/ is ridiculous...

Saying she is old and irrelevant / going to die soon and other slurs for being old isn’t helping the cause.. if anything it’s harming the cause as people will (wrongly may I add) read your comments and think how childish and go the other way

there are other ways to argue your point other than insulting large communities, hopefully you can learn from this
