what is non-partisan? Do you believe there are more than two genders, or not? you either answer a question like that, or don't. If you don't answer, people don't know your opinion, thus you are "non-partisan" via ambiguity.

There's a difference between believing things and actively campaigning for other people to adopt your view via the enactment/enforcement of various laws by the government.
A group as a whole can be non-partisan. But a group that is composed of only a small sliver of thought and thus not representative will most definitely be partisan, as a whole.
Ah, non-partisan as a group property, not as an individual property.

But then it's possible it was a non-partisan group then

Possible yes. Many things are possible.
