I was on their side when the debates around it reached their peak, but I don’t misunderstand homosexuality as unnatural or gays as mentally ill. In my mind it was about semantics, but I’ve since realized how that could be perceived as homophobic.

Yeah, so connect the dots bud

That is the conclusion I eventually came to as well.
Character growth, good. For the future telling people they don’t get to have legal rights because of your book is discrimination and the problem.
