Ya know homophobia/transphobia etc. has been incorporated into memes and everyday language so much that sometimes people think it’s ok to be offensive. For example, there is the adaptation of ‘gay’ into ‘weird’ which is really bad that people don’t realise how offensive that is. Furthermore, people tend to get away with using memes for homophobia/ transphobia etc. Take for example the graphic video that was brought to our attention via a post on the subreddit. As the creator of the post explains, the video contains the burning of the rainbow flag and the execution of several people in very violent ways. I advise any of you tempted to watch the video to consider whether you can handle gore or not. I remind you it is VERY disturbing.
Anyway, as I was saying, that video got way too many comments supporting it as ‘just a meme’ and an absurd amount of likes. This shows how deep rooted everyday homophobia is in our societies and in our languages

doesnt mean tthat youre special

Woah, maybe this person should consider that lgbtqia+ people are open about their sexuality because they finally have the space to do so.
2
I mean, I do personally make being queer a big part of my appearance because generally lgbtqia+ people just aren't that visible.
2
I mean atleast they understand what it means to be gay

If it was me giving the homophobe milk, it would be actually cyanide.

I am in no way special because I’m gay but I still tell people my sexuality because i want to make sure they’re not a homophobe as I don’t want to deal with homophobia and everyone else has their reasons for being open about their sexuality and they don’t think they’re special because of it

Being gay doesn't make you special. You're just a human being just like everyone else. It's HOMOPHOBES who act like they're different, not gay people themselves.

Since when was wanting representation shoving it down their throat?

Because we don't wanna hear about it yet you force it on us.....

So should we just stop showing relationships on TV/media because straight people are always shown on it?
1
I mean, it is kind of annoying when people are purposefully all up in your face about it, but there's nothing to be ashamed about! Be prideful about your sexuality, as I am!

hes got a point

Straight folk be like this then say look at Ashley playing with braden I’m sure they would make a great couple

Because LGBT is something about people,people can relate to each other with? Like hey we both struggled in this society let's be positive and share our experiences and do what we can to enjoy discovering our identity together?
This isn't coherently written sorry

homophobes get dumber each day, especially people like that who seem to forget that gay people are being murdered all around the world so we need some sort of positivity :v

They get murdered bcs theyre like "We aRe GaY AnD ThIs Is NoRmAl"
well yeah that's because being gay is normal lol. actually, animals can be gay as well! for example when a baby animal is orphaned a gay couple adopts them (heterosexual couples can't do that bcs they're too busy reproducing). there is nothing unnatural about being gay. almost all animals have at least a few gay mates around, humans are the only ones who experience homophobia
fun fact! no one is 100% straight or 100% gay, in other words, everyone, even dumb homophobes such as yourself, are at least 1% gay :)
(here's a nice article about gay animals https://www.zooportraits.com/animal-homosexuality/amp/)
have a nice day
Bruh. I mean, they say everywhere they are gay. Let them just love each other and that's it. Why make a soap opera out of this?
there are gay people being slaughtered all around the world for the simple fact that they are gay (yes, even in countries where being gay is legal). we have to constantly hide ourselves from the world in fear that if we tell anyone about our sexuality we might be murdered. pride used to be a protest for our rights, and now its a celebration of how far we've come, pride exists to support the ones around us who are being oppressed, and to pay our respects to the ones who have died for our rights. i don't know if you've ever been oppressed for something you can't help, but if you haven't you couldn't understand, you obviously can't understand the feeling of never being safe.
the whole "soap opera" part is a gigantic stereotype type which only exists in movies, gay people in real life are normal.
Because it is.
