I think there is more than enough time to do your bit, even with the plethora of causes that exist in what is IMO a broken world. You don't have to give your life to a cause, but there are plenty of things to be done, even if they're only small.

I call BS on that.
If true, you won't have an issue describing what you've done in each of the examples i gave you before.
Once you're done with that, i will provide another list, and continue.

Before we move on, i assume you are vegetarian because of the issue with eating meat.
I assume you grow your own food.......own enough solar panels to run your whole house...or live in a commune....and drive a hybrid car.....or better yet a bicycle.
You would also volounteer at homeless shelters. Do all your shopping at savers....and donate the majority of your wage to those unable to keep a roof over their head

If you don't do any of those things, you must be a hypocrite. 

Being apathetic to, for example the Manly jumper issue, is clearly not as bad as being blatantly hostile and violent to gays, but neither does it help. And I would argue sitting on the fence does more harm than good. Think of the Germans who turned a blind, apathetic eye to the plight of the Jews during WWII. You could perhaps understand their reluctance, given that any opposition would likely result in death. But those circumstances don't exist any longer, which is why I don't understand the resistance to the Pride jumper.

In a modern world, in a modern age, we should take into account peoples mental health. Perhaps Manly jumper dissenters did so because they would be bullied and/or teased by family and/or friends for doing so. Some extreme measure could involved being disowned.
Should they not be allowed to say no to wearing something that could lead to their family and/or friends disowning them?

There's a lot of bad theology going around....

...and everytime there is, problems arise.
Each to their own, but if there was no religion in the world, it would be a happier place.
