    Your anecdote isn’t very relevant here since you aren’t gay. All you’re saying is that you can be liberal without being gay or having other issues directly affect you.

    What they are asking is, if those issues do affect them, is that the reason they are liberal? An obvious answer is, if it matters to them more than other things then yes. I imagine personal identity and personal freedom matter very much for most people, but it may not be the highest on the list.

    Unsurprisingly, things aren’t black and white.

    It’s certainly weird to see people championing for things that will actively hurt them though. Like black people trying to join the KKK.
