I’m gay.
My dad is not pleased with this fact. Completely homophobic.
Half the time his homophobia doesn’t even make sense.
>Fishing show on TV in the living room
>Watching it with mom and dad
>Mom: "I don’t have the patience for that kind of stuff
>Me: “It doesn’t feel like too long when you’re out there”
>Dad: “Time flies when you’re a removed.”
>Go to my room
It’s getting ridiculous. He goes out of his way to respond to everything I do by calling me a removed.
It’s much funnier to accuse them of being closeted as it drives them nuts.
But this comment is not going to be seen by them.
I see this type of comment on almost every post like this. It suggests the idea that gay people are the cause of their own persecution. Because if only repressed gay people hate gays who are out and public about it then no straight people are responsible for homophobia.
I haven’t seen this put this way before but it’s a great point.
You’re interpreting too much into it. It’s just a “NO U!” response.
And I would interpret it differently: society is so bad that it makes people hate themselves for who they are.
But it also makes the oppression of queers their own fault…
