No, one cannot care about these issues while completely ignoring the fucking context and actual severity of them.



Like, heterosexism gets people beaten in the streets and treated as sub-citizens and sub-human and people think recognizing our existence as valid is “an opinion” but heterophobia gets peoples feelings hurt on a blogging website?? ohnoes they are totes equal in badness.



You cut the analogy because you don’t want people to see it or something? because you honestly seem to be under the impression that heterosexism is like this rare fucking occasional thing and not something fed into by millions of straight people? and that saying “i hate straight people" is like running up to a straightie and physically assaulting them. lol k.



Also fucking straighties fucking straighties fucking straighties. :)



(Hey, if I say that 3 times in a mirror in the dark, will you appear to steal my jar of straighty tears from me? oh noes!)



FYI, people like you are the reason people who won’t “support" the idea of us being seen as human beings because “like 5, maybe 6 gay peoples were mean to me on the internet! This is why you have no rights and everyone hates you!“ are given credibility.



Like, it directly makes our humanity depend on their fucking mercy and approval.



How about fuck that? I hope you feel comfortable in the knowledge that you are probably “that person” straight people refer to as “totally fine with it" and proof they are not bigots whenever they say blatantly heterosexist shit.



GTFO of here go help organize a straight pride parade or something ‘cuz y’know we are the ones oppressing them now so you may as well go beg them for some “I’m not straight and I love straight people!“ cookies. Oh shut the fuck up you drama baby.



I’m not saying any of this bullshit when I’m saying “stop judging people for their sexuality”.



Really. That is the only thing I’m saying.



Heterophobia and homophobia are not the same, and they do not affect people equally and homophobia is much more prominent and hurtful at large.



There, you have me on record as saying that.



But that, and here’s the important part that you’re missing because your heads too far in your ass, THAT STILL DOESN’T MAKE HETEROPHOBIA SOMETHING I’M WILLING TO LET FLY OR SUPPORT.



And hey, hate to break it to you, but there are a lot more straight people than there are of us. So if all of them fucking hate us because we’re screaming about how shitty they are, we’re fucked. Why the fuck do you think that that actually HAPPENED before? Because a high majority of people hated lgbt people. And it took a shitload of time to get us even accepted. It was slow.



No, I doubt anyone’s going to change their mind on supporting LGBT people because of heterophobia. That doesn’t make your jokes any less shitty or any less mean or unnecessary.



And no, I don’t think homophobia is fucking rare. I kinda, ya know, experience it along with biphobia! Woo, hard to imagine that.



Go keep your shitty, bigotted thoughts to yourself, and just fuck off.



And I deleted the analogy because this post was long enough as it is. Calm your shit.

lol “drama baby", what happened to criticizing childish behavior?

and woooow, are you serious?

“There are a lot more straight people, so we need to be nice to them or they will fuck us over”

At least your true intentions are obvious now. You are literally just shitting on the rest of the queer community for venting their frustrations because you, personally, are trying to protect your own ass by playing kiss-up to the straighties.

See, THIS shit is another reason why heterophobia is a good thing.

It shows we are NOT AFRAID OF THEM, NOT DEPENDENT ON THEM, our equality will be achieved by US, and if they want to be an ally (which entails sitting, down, shutting up, and listening, as well as telling off other straighties, NOT heading the movement) then that is fine, but we are NOT dependent on them to have our humanity recognized.

If we played by their rules, Stonewall would have never happened.

If we played by their rules, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

You think we are where we are because they gained pity out of nowhere or something?

because we gradually weedled them into acceptance?

UH NO.

It’s because WE stood the fuck up and told them off!

If you went back in time to Stonewall and insinuated that the way to equality was through being super totally nice to straight people, they would have laughed your ass into infinity and beyond.

Heterophobia is, first and foremost:

A way to vent at being treated like shit constantly by society.

Second:

It’s cautious discrimination. There are those who would consider it “heterophobia" to assume all straight people are heterosexist. There are those who (rightfully) prejudge straight people as heterosexist because if they don’t and reveal their sexuality to the wrong person, it could literally ruin their fucking life, if not end it (in the worst-case scenario)

and Third:

It’s fucking rebellion. It’s not licking straighties toes in exchange for equality. It’s rejecting heteronormativity.

It’s just fucking wonderful

and FYI, gtfo of here with your “wow hard to imagine that" shit because uh, I’M BISEXUAL TOO HARD TO IMAGINE THAT, and also “homophobia" is a term that only focuses on gay men and erases the rest of the queer community so wow, way to erase me and yourself and all other bi people and other non-gay sexualities. Ooh the equality I feel it.

and the one who needs to calm their shit is you. Just because YOU want to grovel to “the majority" to protect your own ass doesn’t mean we’re all going to jump in and join you.
