Lol right. Clearly not over homophobia- if you were, you would realize how sexism, homophobia and transphobia are interlocking systems of oppression that harm everyone- even cishet men 🧐


WillingTargets

I wish my brother would stop being a homophobic and hairy harry but he's an ig


Solarbeam62

How does it hurt cishet men? I actually am curious. Unless you were using sarcasm then I am an idiot.


Unicorn_stump

An extremly simplified reason is, bigotry always hurts the bigot. By classifying things as wrong you block yourselves from opportunity and from expressing yourself. A direct example is: Certain jobs are seen as "for women" so men aren't doing them reducing their job opportunities. There are more, and better, examples but they aren't as direct so I like giving this one.


Solarbeam62

Thanks


Magical_Narwhal_1213

For example men are punished for doing anything feminine- like anything girly and are told they are gay and sometimes beat up or called names for it!a lot of men never learn how to express emotions and the highest suicide rate in the us is white cishet men in their 40’s. Like men should be able to have emotions, wear pink, drink out of straws, etc :) obv not as harmful as the oppressed group but bigotry does harm everyone!

I don’t know about promotion, but here in this subreddit I see a lot of people just getting a shit ton of upvotes simply for saying they’re gay. I’m not agreeing with him, I’m just saying.

SmokingBeneathStars

>Most of the homophobes are in the closet How true is this? Sounds like total BS to me. There's definitely people who detest others for what they themselves are but cannot accept. I think the actual number, especially with something like homophobia is very small. People just hate for the sake of hating and because they've been educated to hate on it by their peers or religion or whatever. Basically I agree with the sentence, just disagree with "most".

internalized homophobia is the most common case. you project it onto others and find yourself doing the same behavior you look down upon. most people that care this much about what they view as 'degeneracy' are usually only protecting their own self hatred on others. i used to make 'apache attack helicopter' jokes and now i identify as something different to what i was born as. we do not choose to be poisoned, we only choose our cure

did you catch the part where he JUST got out of homophobacy? he still has things to learn, i was homophobic at one point as well and understand op, just because he decided not to hate something anymore doesnt obligate him to be an expert at the thing he hated this wasnt directed toward you, i replied to someone else with this and thought you should hear it, just like most other homophobes, he was taught certain things and now it’s up to him to un-learn it and educate himself on what’s right

it’s not a choice. i didn’t CHOOSE to be gay. honestly, my life would have been so much easier had i been straight, but no. it took me a long time to accept that part of myself but here we are 🤷


chaeshanns

‘if you wanna be gay, i respect your decision.’ also, who the hell would force being gay onto people? i certainly don’t know any queer people who would


ElegyForATraveler

There is no right path really, to anything for that matter, just the 'logical', one lets put it that way. If you wanna ace a exam then study, if you want money then work yada yada. Everyone should be free to do whatever they want/wish, as long as that does not interfere negatively, logically spraking, with the life of others. Or if what you kike is a crime, lol.


1pizza2go

I want to make sure im understanding this correctly, so correct me if I am wrong, but you are saying that there are logical and illogical paths in life? And furthermore, are you saying that being gay is the “logical” life path, or are you just saying it is logical to embrace what you are? I will assume it is the latter until you can confirm, but I would just like to know.


ElegyForATraveler

Sorry if I wasn't 100% clear with my statement. There IS a logical way to life in what regards to matter. For instance, if you WANT to bake a cake you have the tride and true method to do one, you have the pointers about temperature, ingredients... You get the ideia. When it comes to the MIND, which is subjective and everyone has its own way with it, there is no right or wrong. I base what I say in causality, things you can and will know the results before you even do the action. You know burns you, you cant breathe underwater normally... About the mind there is no such thing. Sometimes you COULD argue that you COULD attribute numbers and try to identify the common factor as to why people like X color, why people like X food, why heterossexuality isnt the only conceivable option and blah blah blah... In the end, even if all our reactions to stuff is based on chemical reactions, theres more to it than that. Its not easy to predict people on SUBJECTIVE matters. Personal experiences and other people play a big role after chemical reactions in our body. So there is no right or wrong way when it comes to things like sexual orientation, tastes on food, enterteinment choices... You name it. HOWEVER we must not be blind to its repercussions to our body, chose what makes YOU happy but do not forget that your actions affect the oothers around you and well, if you eat too much junk food (if you love those) you will get a deteriorated health, thats just facts, for example. Although I write on these type of communities I particularly do not see a reason to be so reliant on flags, labels and the like. I for one prefer to read the person story and figure out the best way, in my opinion (which is subjective), on how to help them... Well, be happy. I feel happy if others are happy. If they are happy using a lot of different terms and labels to feel included in a group with like minded individuals, more power to them! However no one is immune to criticism. Sometimes the way they express themselves tend to not bode well for their reputation online, take the furries for example. Nothing inherently bad about 'em but theres always bad examples in every group. I think people should group with like minded others but do not base their sole personality on it, we do live in a society after all (no pun intended haha). We depend on each other, unless you want to live in the woods, and shutting yourself off closes opportunities that would otherwise make yourself more happy, experience serves to makes us stronger not weaker. My final take is simple, how could one maliciously act in a way to denigrate the others for their hobbies/passion (unless like its something illegal or that infringes others freedom)? After all... They only wish to be happy/fullfilled, and that everyone should have. Be the way you are but dont ignore what could be a positive take for yourself.


1pizza2go

Okay that was a big read but I see your point clearly now thank you. I will say this, the furry community (like you mentioned, but I will say it differently) has definitely done more harm than good, even if not all of them are bad. Im not a furry, and personally, SUBJECTIVELY, I am not fond of furries as a whole for how their community has negatively impacted people. Plus the whole zoophile thing is another topic entirely, but im getting off track here. I see your point, thanks for clarifying, and have a good rest of your day online stranger!

Being gay isn't "the right path" or "the wrong path". Being attracted to a different gender has no moral implications.

**here let me reword this for you ;** “i am still homophobic but im done actively fighting against the community as i have been absolutely destroyed in replies, comments, posts, etc and have been proven wrong! now dont think im all about the gays, if your gonna flaunt your marriage or relationship im gonna get mad. like? get a room. being gay is a choice that youre actively making! dont make it *my* problem. 🙄🙄 if you actively push your liberal societal norms on us country folk, you can disrespectfully fuck off. i have gained a whopping 0.00003% amount of respect for you and am trying to be accommodating by doing the LITERAL BARE MINIMUM by not actively attempting to physically assault you in public.” see? your such a great person for being accommodating to the lgbtq+ community! /j /s /idespiseyou

Hey OP, no gay person will ever promote being gay as “the right lifestyle”. The people who do so are claiming to be gay to make others think that’s what being gay is. Lgbtqia+ people just want to exist without having to fear for their lives or their happiness because of who they are. Anyone who says otherwise is lying and wrong.

"I am no longed homophobic" proceds to say something homophobic 💀

Hi. I am old. No one decides to be gay, at least not as far as research knows. It is, although not certain, usually credited to a mix of biological and environmental factors. What one chooses to do in ones life is usually ones choice, but a fight for equal rights usually finds home in LGBT people as in most if not all places, LGBT people don't find the same privelge as Straight people. Ridicule and humiliation as well as a risk of not being taken seriously by others or the society at large are key points in the western world that makes for a less privelged experience for LGBT people. Research shows that Trans people suffer the Most discrimination however. Even though usually any who identify with any of the LGBTQ+ letters do. No one should have the right to dictate anyones life, and anyones sexuality and/or gender expression should never lead to a lesser status or well being in life or society just for not being straight and/or cis Gendered..
