“You can respect a person while saying they shouldn’t be in a place.”
“This person is self-evidently in this place illegally, they should be tried and ejected”
On behalf of the queer community this sounds really bad. I’ve seen similar rhetorical lines a lot, typically to defend the removal of queer media and other forms of expression.
I have never seen these be used to argue anything good.
There is a difference between the more liberal “enlightened” enforcement and the more brutal (and much worse) fascist enforcement. But the liberal apparatus (while comparatively considerably better) was still never just
