Before u read this, look @ this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/499679023/ . . . . Homophobia..... is rlly horrible. I have Homophobiaphobia [ I just made that up lol]. Homophobia is not funny and its not something to rub off. Homophobia def ( according to Google: ho·mo·pho·bi·a /ˌhōməˈfōbēə/ dislike of or prejudice against gay people. WTH???? THIS IS HORRIN|BLEE!!!!! I hate homphobia and I want it 2 stop ASAP. But tbh theres nothing I can rlly do other than make a rant about it :/ I feel sympothy for L+ community who struggles with LGBTQphobia, but.... I also ........feel bad for the ppl who have the phobia.... DONT KILL ME JUST YET, HEAR ME OUT. The person was probably raised into thinking homophobia was okay. Or maybe they themselves we're gay but had homophobia from it, so they became homophobic themselves. kinda like a loop. My friend, @-LazyBear-, USED TO HAVE homophobia. She apoligized for it awhile ago, and she's pretty okay with me talking about it soo...... YEAH. Here's what she said about her experience: " When I used 2 be homophobic, practically everyone hated me. I remember helping someone who was getting into a arguement in the MOST POPULAR LGBTQ studio and like 10 people were going against me and that person. We helped each other out and got along well. We were both christians. We thought we were saving ppl and helping them. Obviously we didnt want them 2 go to h3ll. One of the ppl who were part of the studio were christian as well. They said its okay to be gay and stuff, and I called them a lukewarm christian ;-;. I still feel bad about it.... Then after an hour, someone commented on the other christians profile and caused a whole new arguement. Ofc I helped out and stood up for the person, but all of my comments kept getting reported and everyone was going against me :/. At one point, after 2 hours of argueing I decided to give up. Then some other ppl commented on my profile and asked me questions like "is it okay 2 be gay?" and stuff and I answered politely. I decided to apoligize to the main studio and everyone else I argued with. Thats how I met like, almost all of my scratch friends lol. I also gained like 10 followers bc I stopped being homophobic. I honestly thought I was helping pl at that time. I just wanted them to live a happy after life and go 2 heaven. this all happend when I was a new scratcher. :|" from I felt for her. I mean, you never know WHY someone does the things they do. Laz says she's pretty pressured to support it SINCE ALL OF YOU FORCE OTHERS TO SUPPORT. She has a religion, its really popular and it has a bible with rules. She has to choose between her religion or what others want from her. Everyone has a reason to do the things they do, but just leave the person alone and not pester them. If they pester you then get help from a friend, parent, consuler OR SOMETHING. Now Im not saying that if you see a homophobe you gotta let them off the hook but just try to ask them stuff like: "why are u homophobic?" " what made you homophobic?" " do you think its the right thing to do?" Instead of : "EWWW HOMOPHOBE" " BOOOOOOOOOO" ;w; srry i make so many rants now lol
yeah ik theres other phobias like Transphobia and stuff but I dont feel like talking about those rn :/ I wrote this whole essay bruh my fingers are dying. thx 2 @-LazyBear- for texting her life story 2 me :D
