the difference between "assimilationist current " and "visibility at all costs current" (good names for these, btw) is idpol.

"visibility at all costs" makes money, pushes political activism (of the cultural marxist kind), subjugates a minority to activists who claim to represent them, and creates a dipole:

Rubbing "pride" in everyone's faces is designed to create resentment toward gay people. Associating "queer" and pedo with gay also does this. Creating anti-gay sentiment is useful for LGBT activists as they can point to it and say "you need us!". Everything becomes pro-gay and anti-gay, with nothing in-between (dipole). This is great for making money and pushing for marxism via societal collapse, but terrible for actual gay people. It was never about gay people, it was always about social justice (the revolution).

>Although I will say that sometimes it is nice to see characters in stories that happen to be LGBT. I just don't want that to be their defining trait or to have bad writing attached to it.
Exactly this. Gay isn't a personality, the same way skin color isn't. Gay people aren't one-dimensional caricatures. But for idpol activism it is and they are, which is part of why woke writing sucks.

Contrast this to "assimilationist", which is the actual desireable outcome of gay rights. It's just not profitable for grifters, nor useful for collapsing countries, so it doesn't get the same funding.
