You've got a really big heart

It makes me want to fall apart

Especially when you fart

Cause I really like that part

I want to point out that this is an issue that comes back to the Good Gays. Like Good Immigrants, there's a certain ideal that closeminded people find acceptable as far as gay people in their community. You'll recognise the list:

no pda

no handholding

no mentioning of LGBT rights

in brief, no "shoving it down our throats"

But if you follow all of those rules, if you decide to be out but not loud, keep yourself to yourself and carry on, you may think you're safe, but you're not.

You're only safe until they are forced to remember that you're gay. The only reason the Good Gay is not viewed as a threat by homophobes is because the Good Gay is not viewed as gay at all.

when I pressed a homophobic friend on whether he really thought I deserved less rights, he repeatedly protested that that wasn’t it, that it wasn’t me personally, just something he believed about gay people. That he was sorry that I was an accidental casualty. That he didn’t include me in what he thought of when he thought of The Gays because I’m not “visible”.

If you’re out to your homophobic friends and they’re still heavily homophobic, they either view you as deserving of being lesser (legally) or they’re consciously ignoring that you’re gay. Either way, get the fuck out of there.
