First of all I want to make clear I do not think this and never said this. But yes, many would consider LGBT groups to be a "politically adjacent topic" (to quote myself), just as groups like gun enthusiasts or crime watch networks would be. If literacy became a political hot topic then yes, book clubs would be politically adjacent too.
No one here is arguing Facebook or anyone else should consider your particular LGBT group 'political' though because it clearly is not.
>The core of the issue is when you have political figureheads very carefully craft a narrative where all LGBT existence is political.
In fact the "core" of this entire post, topic, and thread is Facebook censorship, not political narratives around LGBT issues. I share your opinion that even modern liberal society is way behind on the issue you bring up, but that's all the more reason to distrust labeling by FB. So sorry for the confusion, but I'm glad we agree groups like yours should not be censored.
