So sick of homophobes playing the victim when we call them out on their shit

They call us slurs, they tell us who we love or how we identify is “unnatural”. Most of us have probably got told at least once that we’re going to hell. But when we stand up for ourselves and tell them we’ve had enough? We’re being pushy, obnoxious, entitled even. We’re making everything about ourselves and shoving it down their throats.

Poor, poor homophobes are just trying to mind their own business, but- the gays! They’re everywhere! On the news, in TV shows (gasp!) In PUBLIC?! Things were better when gay and trans people were shamed into the shadows and they could live in peace, pretending we didn’t exist. Or, at least, that’s the attitude they take on when we tell them kicking LGBT teens out of their homes isn’t cool or that gayness/being trans by itself doesn’t hurt anyone.

It just sucks that it’s 2025 and we STILL have to deal with assholes like this.
