Seriously. Every form of entertainment has baked-in political assumptions, and that definitely includes #ttrpg . You might choose not to examine them, but this is an active choice on your part, and you don't get to pretend that your entertainment is "free of politics".

Lol, nice strawman you built there. There's no need to "wait your turn for justice". Just get yourself a group who enjoys that kind of campaign and you're good to go! This isn't a "We can't fight for gay rights right now. They just blew up the twin towers" scenario.

In fact, you're arguing exactly like the people on the opposite side: "How dare you care about gay rights. We need thoughts and prayers for the 9/11 victims right now and everyone who doesn't focus entirely on thoughts and prayers is a terrorist supporter!" That's your argument right there!

I dunno man, you're the one that said the players can't talk focus on gay rights now. there's a demon invasion. Which, again, maps pretty cleanly to that kind of attitude. But I think you might be the kind of person who doesn't understand subtext, or maybe text.
