ok.. 2nd mutual i've softblocked bc they implied they suffer from homophobia irl.. maybe i'm being overly critical bc of course if you do have that sort of prejudice, it's better to be aware of & work on it than pretend it's not a thing.. and maybe i'm biased toward not understanding bc i am bisexual? but, like, pretty sure i've met plenty of very heterosexual people who legitimately were not offended or made uneasy by the presence of Gays at all. it's just kind of weird to me to casually mention being uncomfortable around gay people on the gay website

#both times there's been an implication or outright statement that theoretically they support gay rights #they just feel uncomfortable around gay ppl or uncomfortable when someone of the same sex flirts with them?? or in the first case she said #the IDEA of them flirting with her which is hilarious to me like ok then stop thinking abt it..#specifically a poll asking if that's homophobic. was the context #like tbh it does make me uncomfortable any time men flirt with me so i guess i can understand but i'm not a lesbian #i think that's just bc like. they're men and i've ended up in a lot of bad situations by indulging rando men who flirt with me #like relatively rational discomfort i think #whereas ppl being gay around someone or a lesbian flirting with you non-forcefully (which is what was described) is like #umm i feel like you have to be pretty ignorant to feel weird about that?#actually understanding homosexuality should kind of lift the fear that the Gays are like?? idk whatever about it made her 'uncomfortable'
