We live in a world obsessed with embracing differences…or rather, lecturing others to embrace each other’s differences. I live in a very liberal area, so not many people get bullied or anything because they’re “different” or “weird.” Homophobia is almost non-existent. We’re not like a town from “Glee” or something. So you like music more than sports? Join the other 5 million. You’re sexually attracted to members of the same sex? Rock on. So it freaking PISSES ME OFF when people act like they’re just not accepted.
For example, some time ago, someone I knew had come out as bisexual. No one was expecting it, but no one was particularly shocked. It wasn’t big news. Nobody freaked out and started whipping out their bibles. Everyone was just like, “Oh, that’s interesting. I didn’t know that. Whatever. We still love you and shit.” Yet, this person FLIPS THE FUCK OUT and starts ranting all over Facebook. “OMG STOP HATING ON ME BECAUSE I’M DIFFERENT. I LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM. EVERYONE IS A HORRIBLE MOFO FOR SAYING SHIT ABOUT ME. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHO I AM? HUH!?”
Normally, I’d be like….yeahhh preach it! Don’t take shit from nobody! BUT the fact was….NOBODY HAD SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE. like none AT ALL. Literally, NOT A SINGLE SOUL was hating on this person. Frankly, no one gave a fuck. NO. ONE. We live in an area where the homophobe would be bullied and beat up, not the gay person. WE LIVE NEAR SF FOR FUCK’S SAKE. THE CAPITAL OF LGBT.
You might think, oh I’m sure there was someone being rude and this person wanted to stand up for themselves, but I can ASSURE you. No one was rude. NO ONE FUCKING HATED ON YOU, BITCH! And I swear, this goes on and on and on. These people just crave attention. They want people to feel sorry for them and comment “Oh, sweetie. Don’t listen to those haters. We love you <3” WHAT HATERS, YOU BITCH? NAME A SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS HATED ON YOU. Homophobia is literally TABOO in this area. I’d be scared to go to school if I randomly posted some homophobic shit on Facebook. I’d get beaten so bad.
Disclaimer: This post isn’t about homophobia, nor is it about how homophobia is not a big deal. This post is about fake victims needing attention and making shit up. So please spare your comments about how I can’t say anything because I haven’t been in that situation, how I’m being rude, etc. That’s not what this is about. I’m all about gay pride. Peace, my brothas. <3
