as we all know, gay people should be barred from any media because it might cause some arguments. truly sound logic.
"even starting insulting their own" is telling. Unlike conservatives, most leftists don't see politics as a team sport where someone on your side can do no wrong. when someone says something dumb, calling them out is not "insulting our own."

I have never met a "straight hater" IRL but I meet homophobic people basically every time I leave the house...
How i imagine a conversation with this guy goes down
“Hey, saying gay people shouldn’t be in any media because it disrupts your peace is pretty bigoted and is a very privileged viewpoint”
“WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME FOR BEING STRAIGHT?!!!?!?”
I've heard gays jokingly call straight people "breeders," but I've never seen a gay man successfully run for public office by promising to take rights away from straight people.
It's funny how this kind of person has to create boogeymen for the left to compete with the actual shitstains on the right.
The best way to respond to people who think like this is to ask them who the homophobes are, and who the “straight haters“ are. Once you have that, ask them, which of them has power in society? Which of them has people in office who want to enact their views as political policy? Name people who, in our government, legitimately hate straight people, and want to legislate against them and their rights to exist.
I brought this up only a handful of times with people in my life because thankfully I don’t hang around with people who hold these views, and the vast majority of the time they won’t really be able to come up with anything. They won’t admit they were wrong or that their sentiment no longer stands, but it is an eye opening moment. The only time someone has actually pushed back on me is because they truly believe that the Democrats want to end straight people or some shit. And at that point someone like that just isn’t worth talking to.
I wonder if it’s a rite of passage to go through a centrist phase between 19-24.
