Eh, sexuality is political though. It’s easy to think that it’s not, or shouldn’t be, especially if you’re straight and surrounded by other people that are also straight. The personal is always political, and the political is personal. Most of use don’t have to worry about needing a space of refuge because we conform well enough to the majority viewpoint that we’re not constantly in tension. The mere fact that someone has a different skin color than me shouldn’t be political, but we’ve got centuries of racism to one degree or another demonstrating that it is.

I understand what you’re getting at, and I agree that sexuality, gender identity, skin color, etc., shouldn’t be a problem for everyone, or anyone. OTOH, I also think that certain worldviews–such as the idea that black people should be forcibly expatriated to Africa and Jews should be murdered, and that both of these things are morally correct–should be both politicized and excised from society. I’m fairly libertarian, in that I think that what I do as an individual that doesn’t cause direct, immediate harm to other individuals shouldn’t be an issue. But borders get mushy and slippery, because no one exists in a total vacuum.

Anyway. Shit’s complicated.
