I bet cash money that husband has a secret Grindr account.

Safest bet in the world, husband is gayer than a unicorn fart

Claiming that someone's homophobia is because they are secretly gay is ultimately blaming the gays for said homophobia.

It's also entirely possible that someone is just a hateful piece of shit.

Gold medal in mental acrobatics, damn

I get what you're saying.
But usually it's really they are a hateful piece of shit because they are secretly gay. The loudest ones tend to be the most secretly what they are yelling about.

i just don’t believe that that’s actually true, though. most homophobes are just pieces of shit, not secretly gay

Well, that's just because ~~you're~~ Im an asshole.

[–] WhyIsItReal@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

… i’m an asshole because i think that homophobes are mostly bad people, not self-hating gay people?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Honestly, I misread what you said and thought you were saying angry gay people were mostly bad people. Lol yikes, I apologize

That's embarrassing

[–] WhyIsItReal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

haha it’s all good

no you're not an asshole. I agree with you that some people are just homophobic pos and not secretly gay. But for this one in particular, if true, it's screaming insecurity rather than homophobia.

?? It's blaming a gay person for being homophobic, by what logic does it apply to all of them?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Um, I'd argue that it's blaming the people that drive others to subvert their own tendencies, e.g. the gay-is-icky crowd of which the Christian national movement is a subset.

If gay was truly okay, and we didn't have guys who felt pressured to be alpha masc, then no-one would blink twice when a toddler liked flowers and rainbows.

Women can be sexist and nonwhite people can be racist: being a member of a marginalized group unfortunately doesn’t inherently keep someone from perpetuating the discrimination against said group. It’s absolutely true that a lot of, and definitely the majority, of homophobic people are straight, but a lot of the terror-based homophobia stems from projection.

Unfortunately, being gay isn't a panacea, and one can be both gay and a huge piece of shit.

Cash money, now?
