Being homophobic is a choice. Hating on homosexuals just for being homosexual is a horrible thing. You do realize that the "phobic" doesn't mean a real phobia in homophobia? It means hate in this case, mabe if u did a little bit of googling you could learn what homophobic really means

bro...... no need for the hostility i didnt care enough to google it i rather waste my time on things i like and things that are actually important, and i also said something else which is it might be something they dont understand and being a human being afraid of the unknown is normal and the unknown leads to fear and fear leads to hostility and irrationality which then becomes anger and defense, so be honest tell me is it really a choice to be homophobic

If someone does not know and they fear what they do not know then that just means they are uneducated on a subject. Homophobia is when people either choose to hate what they dont know, or they hold bigoted "beliefs" that are damaging to the LGBTQ community, so homophobic people choose to hate instead of learn to co-exist with people of LGBTQ

u are correct but u ever wonder y people fear the dark, i think its because they are afraid of what can hide in the dark, and because of what that they not knowing they can't think of a way to defend themself against it so the only answer is to stay afraid, no the cant co-exist with yall is because of that or maybe other reasons like ppl don't like change so a big change like an entire community asking for better rites them regular ppl did yall really think they wouldn't be an issue or even ppl who believe in tradition would especially hate it and ppl that really js hate for no reason have no excuse but maybe they js following the crowd or want a reason to let out anger or maybe js want to bully ppl but my point is that yall arent full of open-minded ppl so the way yall look and handle the situation made it worse hate + hate= hate so nothing would of change js gotten worse but dont get me wrong im nuetral i nether hate yall nor support yall but i've never been a fan of hating ppl for the way they chose to do things so i dont support the homophobs either

If you refuse to support LGBTQ that makes you homophobic and transphobic. I'm just staying facts /serious

I get that we shouldn't be fighting hate with hate, but sometimes people arent in the dark when being a homophobe. They dont fear, they HATE. There is an obvious difference. Hating on someone just because of their identity is what homophobia/transphobia is. There are people scare dog stuff they dont know, but MOST homophobes are people who hate on us. Please just understand that them hating on us and us complaining about it isnt hating them back, its us gays and LGBTQ being sick of homophobic people

Yeah no, feminism isn't a bad thing like homophobia

If you were reffering to Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) then yeah those people are horrible along with the homophobes

im talking about how initially it wasnt it was all about supporting and empowering women and i didnt mind supporting something like that but in recent time they are more women using it as an excuse to hate men and suppress then but they still are some who are genuine about the original purpose of it

Alot of the "i hate all men" jokes are coping jokes you know that right 😐

Feminism at its core is a very good and needed thing even today, but people like Kill All Men (KAM) are so messed up and wouldn't be classified as feminists, but radical feminists in general

If they use feminism as an excuse to hate you that isn't even feminism... that's radical feminism. They dont represent the whole feminist community

and saying im homophobic because i don't support lgbtq, hows that much different
0 ups, 4y
Not supporting is being against it you know. If you arent LGBTQ you dont get a say in whether something you say is homophobic or not

Just like how you can't say something racist and if a person of color calls you out you cant deny your racism sweetie

im replying here cuz I cant reply on the last one u send but tell me this if 2 men get in a fight and the friend of the innocent man who was js protecting himself doesn't get in the fight cuz it doesnt concern him does that make him a supporter of the man who started the fight or does that make him a man who doesn't see the point in fighting for no reason with others

Homophobia is not about fear, sadly. There's a huge difference: homophobia means that a person hates homosexuals and other sexual/romantic minorities, while other phobias mean that a person uncontrollably is afraid of something. You can't choose what you're afraid of, but you can choose what you hate.
