But you somehow conclude that sharing this unanimous agreement places you in the minority.  

I don't see how you get there except by expanding a slogan shouted by one individual in a parade to represent an entire movement (whose spokespersons in the OP disavowed it), then mistaking forum members support for that movement's civil/human rights to be an endorsement of that unrepresentative slogan.

Additional note: No one labels people right wing because they have "different views." E.g., advocating the return of Native American lands  or the adoption of an Amish lifestyle is "different" (i.e., uncommon) but not explicitly right wing. 

People draw the "right wing" label in this forum by supporting right wing causes: promoting an authoritarian presidential candidate, and defending MAGA narratives about the "Biden Crime Family" and Dems weaponizing government. 

You've done all that, but don't consider yourself "right wing," though some might want to "label" you such.  

I don't mind being called left wing, even though it's usually by people who can't tell left from "leftist."*  Though a Social Democrat, I do vote Dem as the closest thing and don't turn my political views into pretzels by trying to style myself an "independent." I'm just suggesting there is no need to distance yourself from the consequences of your political commitments. If you really don't have much trouble deciding whether to vote Repub or Dem, why fudge yourself into false neutrality?

*One of the signal propaganda accomplishments of RWM is that an entire generation of Americans has grown up hearing center and even right liberal positions described as "leftist," so they absorb the term uncritically with no sense of its historical development and application.  While the label should be accurately applied to me, it has lost its descriptive power now that it has come to signify never Trumpers, any non-white form of identity politics, and the Democratic party as a whole, including leaders like Obama, Hilary, and Joe Biden.

I'm glad SOMEONE said it, 'cause I was going to post that 3 members of this board have *explicitly* stated that they are not Right Wing... and proceed to base their entire posts and everything, on right wing propaganda and right wing-related, "news." 2 in this thread, at that.

It's almost as if the qualifier is stated because they know that there's an inherent issue with being right wing and they choose to go against their better judgement. Something like, "I don't drink and drive, but I will be sure to head to the bar tonight to celebrate something/be miserable and then get home later on..."

I mean, people like Brad and he who shalL not bE mentiONed are PROUD to be right wingers and are not shy about, "what side they're on," so why hide from the facade of, "unaffiliated," or whatever, when your actions prove you're nothing but?

Just goes to show that humans will continue (just as they have for centuries) to simply lie to themselves, which is the tip of the iceberg of a whole mountain of other issues...

But I guess there were no naked people so it's not grooming.  I guess.

These satirical pieces are absolutely wonderful and a perfectly well-done look on how people speak out of both sides of their mouth.
