One sentence in there that might be worded differently: "All the LGBTQ community wants is the right to live as they choose". The problem is with the word "choose", because it is unclear about its scope. On first reading, it seems to suggest "choosing" to *be* LGBTQ, which is a mistake and, in the hands of animals like Raichik, the basis of their lies. People don't choose their physical expression, their sexual orientation, or their gender identity (all of these three are independent and non-binary.) Raichik drives her lies predicated on the notion that LGBTQ is something like a club you can "choose" to join.
The more careful reading would be something like, *being* LGBTQ they want to choose how to live as the persons they are.
I mention all this by way of nit-picking. It is an other wise good piece, and especially so in pointing out the monetary incentives behind people like Raichik's public hate-mongering.
The problem, of course, is that no matter how you word things, animals like Raichik will twist those words. I left a comment on the Libs of TikTok Substack with a link to this one, mostly just to see what would happen if I poke the bear. Stay tuned....

I expect the first thing that will happen is you get blocked ...
I would hope so. 😝😝😝😝
