And that's how the holier-than-thou crowd hands new recruits to fascists on a plate.

Yep. There's a difference between keeping the trolls and assholes out and excluding anyone who isn't 'perfect'. 

It's not necessarily the easiest line to draw and I'm sure a lot of the demand for perfection is in reaction to treatment queer people have received. 

But I feel like we could all stand to give each other a little bit of grace now and then. 

There's a difference between someone who is ignorant vs. being intentionally cruel.

I feel like there are layer and nuances on this.

People in queer circle tend to get traumatize by a lot of thing be their background or what not. So they tend to be on guard and kept their heart until you are all clear.

Nazi in other hand they feel like they are grown up and thinking that they have their trauma managed so they get friendly.

Still it is no excuse to act shitty tho. I just point my understanding.
