first day of pride month and someone is already being homophobic.. i was reading a blog entry titled something along the lines of 'i hate a certain part of the spacehey community' and i was curious to see what it was about. So i read it and it was a guy talking about how a 'certain part of the queer community' are insufferable. I think what he was trying to say was he hates when he finds someone cool and talks to them but their entire personality is about being queer except he worded it so terribly that not many people understood what he was saying.
I was agreeing with his point until the comments. After i finished reading the blog I went to the comments to see how people were responding to it because i knew it would be heated. And sure enough, i was correct. one of the most recent comments was arguing w him. The 2 people arguing were 17 and 21 and i was cracking up reading it cause they weren't really debating they were just sending eachother petty insults like how they 'didnt go to school' or 'dont have a mum' and I was giggling at the fact that these 2 adults (almost) were acting like kids (mainly the guy who posted the blog tho, who might I mention is the 21 year old, the one who is supposed to be an adult and can vote..)
About halfway through the arguement the guy who posted the blog started talking about 'heterophobia'.. Thats when i started to disagree with him. I just find it genuinely funny that people can be so uneducated that they start talking about 'heterophobia'. Saying that is like saying you can be anti racist or anti sexist. It doesnt work as there isnt a past of discrimination towards straight people, which is what the 17 yr old said and I completely agree. saying 'heterophobic' can be soo harmful to people and the fact that in his blog he was saying how he isnt offending anyone.. like he's so naive it makes me laugh and thats coming from a 15 year old..
personally, I couldnt care about less your sexuality, it doesnt affect how i treat you so why should it matter? i understand that some people are uncomfortable with who they are and i dont think thats okay, people like the guy who posted this blog is the reason why people arent comfortable sharing their sexuality, you should be making a safe space, not disguarding their feelings and making them feel unseen. Thats just what i think tho and its valid to have a different opinion to me. <3
also i cant find the og blog so if u find it lmk :3

HEY, one of the people from that blog's comment section here 👋
I started calling him out early on because something about his tone felt off—like he was hiding some real homophobia behind a fake layer of “nuance.”
(You know the type: “I support gay people, just don’t make it your whole personality.” Yeah… when’s the last time a genuinely supportive person actually said that?)
And sure enough, the more heated he got, the more obvious it became. Dude was absolutely homophobic. As you pointed out, he started editing the blog, but he also tried launching this weird little harassment campaign against me, another commenter, and my friend. I have a blog about it.
Eventually, he spiraled hard and ended up suspended. Not sure if he ever made a new account or not, but as far as I know, my blog is the last surviving artifact of that whole mess.
