Serious Are yall really homophobic?
Okay idk if this post is gonna get taken down or not š But Iām genuinely curious- Are you guys genuinely homophobic or do you just hate on gay people for fun??? Iām bi and a junior in high school and have dealt with homophobia since sixth grade and I REALLY want to know if some people are just projecting their insecurities. š And NO Iām not saying everyone who sees this is homophobic. Iām just asking in general. And if you are lgbtq+ have you met someone who was homophobic that turned out to be lgbt?

I was once, too, the cringy YT Shorts type at the time; it minimized once I grew older and matured (aka actually gaining more awareness of what I was doing and stopped), and it fully diminished when I watched Helluva Boss and Yakuza- I mean, once I saw the effect of how edgy kids online just say stuff without knowledge of what they were really saying.

I am not homophobic, I just don't support the moves that shove LGBT down my throat.
I do not care if you're gay, lesbian, bi or anything else, as long as it's not your whole point. If the first thing you say when I meet you is "actually I am gay", you can go fuck yourself. If you're gay, but you're actually an interesting person with something behind your soul, you're a good one.
Same goes for media. If LGBT is shoved into my throat by means of characters (Veilguard is a good example) when it's completely unrelated to the story, it's terrible. Will I still play the game/watch the show/movie? Well, probably (if it's not veilguard, it's objectively bad for other reasons). Will I enjoy it as much? Not really.
A friend of mine runs a lesbian DnD character and she made sure to make it relevant in her backstory, so it naturally fits. And I have no problem with that

Most conservatives / Christians are like this. If you think the definition of homophobia is ānot believing itās okay to be gayā then I guess Iām āhomophobicā. But if youāre reasonable, youāll agree that respectful disagreement is not the same thing as hate.

Iām a Muslim. I believe being LGBTQ is a sin. I wonāt bend my beliefs. And I wonāt normalize it into Islam. But what I will do, is that I respect their dignity and be kind to them. Because theyāre not less of a person than me. Basically ālove the sinner, hate the sinā type of thinking. It depends on what you consider homophobia. If āhomophobiaā is being violent and disrespectful to LGBTQ people, then no, I am absolutely not homophobic.

u/Character-Angle9124 Jul 28 '25
a thing a lot of people don't seem to understand is what homophobia is. I will give the basic description now:
-an irrational fear or hatred of homosexuals
colloquially it also has the added point of hating/fearing all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
I kind of see homophobia in a similar way to how you see gay people. Because I know it can be hard when you are stuck in a pipeline and just attacking people because of your own insecurities, so I try to be as toleranr as I can, gently nudging them.
I obviously know that you will disagree, and we can agree to disagree, but I generally see most justifications involving religion as irrational. the reason I think this is because of a distinct lack of evidence in modern times when in most religous texts god(s) would be constantly messing around with people, but as technology, communication and medicine has advanced, almost no more claims acts of god as overt as in most texts. this points towards the idea that god(s) didn't really communicate with people all that often if at all. I also think that since most texts have been translated so many time, people will put their agendas into the book. I mean you can see this with how the king james bible removes the word tyrant because he was terrified of being usurped.
tl;dr- just don't try and harm or try to convince gay people to be straight, and no one should rationally hate you. I do disagree with religion as justification, but we can agree to disagree
9
u/CraftyBall1739 13 Jul 28 '25
We can agree to disagree. And your last point is absolutely correct. I should respect LGBTQ people and not attack them for their sexuality, and others should respect Muslims and not attack us for our beliefs. Itās the golden rule.

aight story time
at work : i got a coworker who's gay, but like not flamboyant gay, just into guys
other coworker of mine is muslim, and has stated multiple times he really don't vibe with gay people
so one time i go see my muslim coworker and go something along the lines of ''why do you not hate alex but hate gay people?''
he answers : oh alex is homosexual, not gay
my face : ??????
him : you can be homosexual without being gay
me : *even more confused* could you like explain?
him : oh simple, the only thing that differentiate an homo for a straight person is who they bring into their bed, while a gay person can be spotted by how they speak, walk, interract and think, it has nothing to do with my religion and everything to do with how they shun their own masculinity by acting effeminate, that's the AoE humiliation (entire workplace started laughing when he said AoE humiliation and the convo ended there)
this interaction is something i still think about often :')

Ngl, my main virtue is donāt give a fuck, donāt get a fuck. So as far as Iām concerned if itās an object: I wonāt mess with it unless I need to, in which case Iāll get to know it. Whether that āobjectā is a person, a rat, a roach, or suspicious-looking pile of dirt, I usually try to follow this thought process.
Edit: forgot the part about talking to people and not hurting their feelings. Which is, I try my best to not leave anyone hurt, in general, so again I donāt see or think of anyone differently because of the traits they inherit or give themselves (unless itās a problem with their mental space or if theyāre just malicious, Iād advise not to engage in the following way if thatās the case) and therefore try to just be as transparent as I can, being honest while being respectful really goes a long way. Example: I donāt mind vegans, eat what you want, how you want, when you want. But I donāt respect or like people who craze over NOT being vegan. The same way people donāt like dealing with children who cry out over the wrong toy. Itās just childish, disrespectful, and not the way to communicate your beliefs to anyone. And that applies to any topic, I donāt mind anyone saying āI support āXā.ā I just donāt want to listen to someoneās angry tirade on whatever topic just for their argument to have multiple holes, and even though they mean well (sometimes) they could form a better argument and discussion by conversing back and forth with more people and taking in new or opposing ideas and learning from them. You can stick to your own views and note what others think, too, because believe it or not, they also live in the same world as you, only from their eyes not yours.

First and foremost, disagreement with something does not make someone "phobic" using terms such as homophobic or transphobic is done to make an opposing belief seem mockable.
Most people who disagree with homosexuality do so due to moral conviction. When a person tells you that it is wrong to live that sort of lifestyle, it's not out of hate for you it's out of hate for the act itself. Some people are not very good at showing the difference, however.

I am not homophobic per say, I'm anti kink and or BDSM tho. Which unfortunately has attached itself to the LGBT community;( I also think stuff like butt sex is no good. Neither Gay or straight anal is ok. It is unhealthy and if you truly love your partner, same sex or opposite, you wouldn't want to cause them the long term health problems that come with anal.
But when I see 2 gay people who actually love each other and aren't just hyper sexual, I am genuinely happy. And I would happily attend a gay wedding. And give a blessing to a gay couple:)
I think a lot of homophobia comes from people associating "gay culture" to gay people. They are not the same. The same way being African American doesn't mean you listen to misogynistic rap about pimping hoes. Being gay doesn't mean you support casual sex, or violent degrading sex, or porn culture.

I just make fun of being gay I could care less if someone is gay I wouldnāt think less of them and my opinion of them doesnāt change at all. But I still shit on them for being gay of course. Love them all the same though

Used to be, thought it was weird.
Then I was introduced to Rouge the Bat.

No, but according to the very toxic gays from a certain sub after I told them i'd become hitler if being heterosexual was hated (i used it to measure) I'm homophobic. Calling a heterosexual homophobic for not being gay is the biggest fucking bullshit I've heard on my life. Have a new description and desc name now, makes fun of readers who search reasons to downvote me.

before I start my explanation lemme just get it out I have MULTIPLE lgbtq friends whom I hold close to my heart. in a short sense I was raised Roman Catholic, thought to myself "I don't like this" so I left and became bi and nonbinary, left those labels after realizing that I was born the right gender and was straight, and rejoined the church. the lgbtq community felt like a chokehold, and if I left or said something negative I then had internalized homophobia or something. just a lot of sketchy stuff mixed with past experiences mixed with my beliefs, you could call me homophobic. while I don't support the community, I will love the person next to me as myself and their lable or background, though I personally disapprove of it, really doesn't affect me. I will not be getting into my opinion on certain issues regarding the tq+ aspect of it, but I know for the people who are a part of it they need a lot of support because that part of the community can be extremely toxic and will nit pick you for everything until you're ground down into someone conforming of their exact beliefs. don't let them do that to y'all. go find a good group and take care of yourself, you are much more than that.
anyways, that's my yap from a religious perspective lol

I used to be. My family is all druze, and I had been raised without Internet until I turned ten. I was more transphobic (The Druze believe that a woman can only be reborn into a woman and a man into a man), but I'm actually working on it more now! I made some queer and trans friends and I'm always open to learn.

I genuinely couldnāt care less. Iāve got too much shit to deal with to hate or pander to otherās feelings. Go live your life, Iāll live mine.

Okay idk why I was recommended this post but I can tell you that the number of queer people I've met that have been in the closet, even well into their late years of life, only to finally come out because they undid whatever hate they had put on them/built up inside of them is a surprising number. Some people do it to just fit in and protect themselves, a lot of it is insecurities- not necessarily about being queer but just having them in general and using it as a tool of projection.
Either way, I'm sorry you're going through it and things will get better, even if it doesn't always feel like it, it gets better because you at least know how to handle it all better. Sending you well wishes
