Why I won’t be going to Skeptic or Atheist meetings anymore

49. I could be wrong, as she has not returned to further explain, but

I think she (for whatever reason) believes that there are some individuals here who are bigoted against GLBT people. I've not seen it, but I am not going to tell her she is a liar. Nor am I going to jump to the defense of those individuals because I don't even know who they are. I am familiar with BNW and respect her ideals and fervor, but I couldn't be less interested in getting into a tangle with her over something I have no knowledge of.

If, in fact, she is aiming this at all who identify as atheist here, that's a different case. But I don't read it like that at all.

Again, as to my *word*, I will again reiterate that I am under no obligation to defend individual members or clusters of members and never said that I would. As BNW has been challenged to provide evidence to back up what she is saying, I would offer the same challenge as to my *word*. This meme is just part of the crusade.
