What if they're something bad like gay, trans, brown, or communist though?

i want to learn more about what you think but i dont quite understand your metaphor. could you try to explain what you think another way?

    thanks for taking your time to explain. i agree, but i also think its a bit problematic if you expect to be loved back. if, for example, somebody supports trans rights, i think its okay for trans people/the trans community to not like them back. but i think its a really good and healthy attitude to try to maintain bidirectional relationships whenever possible. i also think we should just set ourselves good examples rather than bad examples
