Apparently it’s “virtue signaling” and “language policing” to not want to use language that actively oppresses people. Very cool.
We are so far away from any meaningful change it hurts.
My favorite: 
Oh, I mistook people being anti-ICE for being anti-fascist… turns out they’re only anti-ICE 
I guess being anti-ICE and being a Good Person are mutually exclusive of one another. My bad, y’all.
You’re not wrong but I’ve seen pushback in all working class movements globally when trying to do stuff like this.
The working class cares primarily about their immediate personal circumstances, and in many cases they see any other cause as a threat to focusing on the cause that they care about.
I do not think it’s a coincidence that lgbt rights improve in developed countries where working class conditions improve to a degree that they see more issues outside their own direct material circumstances as worth pursuing. While in developing countries things like addressing the immediate need of food and housing and oppression are the forefront of people’s minds and if you try and push lgbt issues on them (among other things) they see it as getting in the way of more important stuff.
The reaction these people are having seems somewhat similar. They are scared about their own immediate potential to be shot in the face by ICE, and that’s literally all they care about. Everything else is viewed as something getting in the way of that one singular issue they care about.
Then again, white USAians never cared about anything but their immediate benefit, not even when they had their treats
