Remember that everyone is human. If you don't agree, you don't agree. That's what makes me so friendly with so many people.

indeed

Just don't get offended easily. Mods, this is a reminder for people to have common sense and not have prejudice against anyone, because we know all about prejudice

The problem with "let's agree to disagree" is that we disagree on the right to exist.

Some of them aren't this way
Those who legitimately believe you shouldn't exist rather than that you're crazy are actually f**ked up

Bro, Ada, you can't "agree to disagree" with someone who disagrees with your existence. I was friends with a really transphobic kid in my class, and I cut him off the moment I realized I was trans.

Mitra, not everyone wants to kill you. Two different people with two different political stances can still be friends. They may find it weird but if you don't talk about it or make it obvious every day then some can be really good friends.

Stop being stupid and perhaps you'll find that people don't always fit into stereotypes.

I don't really feel comfortable with people who believe my existence isn't valid. You may be different, but I just can't.

You're just not able to let dust slide under the linoleum are you? Not everyone believes that. Many homophobes think on a level of "You're crazy" rather than "you should never have been born".

Yeah, I know, that's what I mean by thinking my existence isn't valid. It just makes me really uncomfortable when someone thinks the way I love or the way I am is "crazy" or "a sin". It really hurts me when someone I appreciate says those kinds of things, so I tend to cut off those people.

You and I don't agree and I can't see why

I think that you think abt other people's feelings more than I do. I believe every choice is made to maximize pleasure and minimize suffering, no matter how selfless they are.

Yeah well must be how I'm raised

Yeah, my parents raised me to believe I'm the best, I'm the number 1 person and anything but the best makes me a disappointment. But I've remade myself, away from all the shit they told me, so it may be the autism

I was raised to have others in mind, and I was the problem almost always

Oh, I've found that I'm almost always right, as people tend to be emotional and make mistakes and I only talk when I'm sure I'm not contradicting myself.

I can fight for hours but I have been slapped, spanked, grounded, given some unique punishments and some bomb punishments for talking back. Now, I'm so cognitively emotional (I don't experience true emotion often) that I have taken days away from my friends on my own suspicion that I'm annoying or rude to them.

Haha relatable. Thatkind of more feeling than I have ^^

My best friend is an ex-homophobe

Mine is an active one
We kick it, he fw me, plays CODand Perfect Dark, jokes about violence

Some of my friends are homophobes, but instead of being a big hater, they’re just like “yeah being gay is weird/sin, but do whatever, I don’t care or mind”

They ain’t horrid, just a lil goofy is all :3

These people are fine. Being gay is not right to them but you know what else isn't right
Attacking some people over it

Exactly

Imo that ain't homophobic that "ally in denial" or "half brainwashed" respectively.
