    It’s also not a part of who they are. Queer people are queer. People who open carry aren’t different when they don’t open carry. It doesn’t change who they are internally if they don’t open carry.

    I hope you don’t need me to point out the uncomfortable parallelism here: You can be a lib. owning jackass at home, but don’t be it in public, please conform to societal norms.

    Again, it’s not open carrying to make anyone uncomfortable to them, it’s expressing who they are politically. Just that the way they chose to express it is inherently problematic, but nonetheless, personal expression trumps making others uncomfortable.
