LGBT activism isn't about creating more gay people; it's about supporting and advocating for the ones who're here. Still, atheist activism is framed (by people who aren't doing it) as evangelism. We don't care about converting you; we're just... out. Get over it.

Jeez.

I don't think tact is the be-all and end-all of discussion either. Also, I think the "not in their spaces" thing is certainly an important distinction, but I'm not sure how it maps onto the discussion - as far as I could tell, we were mostly talking about situations where it's nobody's explicit space.

I can certainly see making that case against using the term "evangelism," in fact, I largely agree, but that's not (as far as I could tell) the case V_Fell was arguing, or the case I was arguing against.
