>I would definitely like to keep some non-existing ideals of fairness and equality in America out of my bedroom and personal life Don't use American services then? Unless I'm missing something, you don't have to use any online dating platform at all, more so not one that is based in the United States.

This is not exactly how imperialism works. The export of American culture is the most massive export of culture humanity has experienced. It is simply unavoidable in the West.

From my understanding most Americans are centrists and have established a status quo that is neutral on the LGBT+ group [other than the negative social pressure related to that group has pushed]. The newer contracts and deplatforming has been based on progressive idealogy violently put in place. I would say that most Americans want nothing to do with that in their bedrooms, but when we have to deal with that from our platforms we have to.

  >From my understanding most Americans are centrists and have established a status quo that is neutral on the LGBT+ group Can you point to anything substantial that supports this idea? The majority of Americans support same-sex marriage [1], and almost three-quarters of Americans (71%) said that being gay is morally acceptable [2]. Most Americans are liberal, which is why platforms move to ban hate mongers and extremists. Instagram doesn't care in the slightest about protecting LGBTQ folks. They just understand that most people don't want to participate in a hateful cesspit. There is a reason that Truth Social and whatever right-wing trash app comes next will never gain any sort of mainstream traction, most people support deplatforming hate mongers.
