Hot take; I would not consider myself a “homophobic” person. Maybe for jokes but in reality I don’t hate them or fear them. I don’t advocate violence against them, and I don’t doubt their feelings are, in some sense, real. But at the same time, I just can’t support everything that is generally done to support them. Marriage, I believe, is between a man and a woman, as it has been for centuries. Civil unions are a good compromise rather than violating the sanctity of marriage. Basically a marriage in all but name. I don’t support your behavior in the bedroom, but who am I to judge, it’s your problem in the end. - But even still, when I express these kinds of thoughts, people lash out at me, they call me a bigot and an asshole, they want my beliefs banned. And you know what, that hurts. But I’m not going to change my opinion just because it offends you. And if you’re gonna keep ostracizing me for not believing every single thing you believe and not with as much passion as you, I’m less likely to support you. - I’m friends with a lot of these people, I don’t hate you, I don’t want to see you discriminated against, but discrimination isn’t just not giving you everything you want. Hell, by that definition everyone and everything is being discriminated against in some way. I hope we can respect each others opinions and discuss them in a civil manner rather than resort to hurtful name calling like many people on both sides do.
