He's not "anti-lgbt" he's homophobic
…however….
He was obviously willing to waive his tallywhacker around in front of a queer person’s security camera…
He’s still homophobic, but once he meets the right guy… ?
Maybe I’m just an optimist. Dude's still a dick.
Sadly, there's a lot of self-hating homophobes out there. I wish they could just be themselves and be happy, rather than feeling the need to hate other people because their fantasy novel or whatever told them to.
Edit: Also, that book says not to judge other people, so they aren't even following it correctly.
My gay friend said he's a DL power bottom high off delusions & insecurity 😅... he'll "come out" soon enough🤣
Let's be real he's an aggressive bully. In some places you might be able to make the point that he's a terrorist.
Of all the f****** innocent people that walk up to a door and get shot in the face, The first time somebody does something that remotely deserves it...
Those are synonymous. What's your point?
connotation matters. anti-LGBTQ sounds like a political stance, homophobic makes it clear there's hatred and a willingness to deprive people of human rights there.
To be frank, "anti LGBT" sounds more extreme to me than "homophobia." I don't see this as watering down hatred.
What do you think politics are? A willingness to deprive people of human rights, that's politics. "Human Rights" is politics. I agree that its important to take complex concepts apart and study them so they can be understood, but you have to put them back together, otherwise you can't tell that these gears and belts and levers and pulleys are actually a machine with a function
Homophobic feeds into the gay panic theory that people who killed gay men were only doing so out of panicing and not hate crime enthusiasm.
I'm not saying don't use it, it really isn't a big deal at all, but correcting people who feel it's a misnomer isn't necessary either.
