We are not a crisis service
We can't guarantee an immediate response. This does not mean no one cares. If you need to talk to someone at once, you may want to take a look at this directory of Hotline Numbers.
If you need help but don’t feel comfortable making a post for any reason, please message the moderators. We will be glad to talk with you privately, or help in any other way that we can.

This shit is rampant in lib spaces, and it drives me nuts. Every time a chud does or say something anti-queer, I see libs joke about how they must be having secret gay orgies, and when someone points how problematic that is they see nothing wrong with it.
And then, whenever one of those privileged chuds turn out to be gay, libs act all smug and feel vindicated by it, using it as evidence for their fucked up repression theory while lacking any understanding of class interests, power dynamics, and how oppression works.
They do it with making gay sex a punchline too and it fucking infuriates me to no end that they don't seem to ever grasp how awful it is
If you ever point out their memes about Trump having gay sex with Putin is homophobic, they'll fucking fall over themselves to assure you that no no, they're not homophobic, but Trump/Putin/whoever else they're targeting is and so insisting they're gay is gonna make em soooo mad (even with a less than 0% chance of them seeing or caring)
New bit idea: every problematic gay person we start insisting they're secretly het and trying to repress their affinity for terrible relationships/becoming their parents.
Kevin Spacey definitely has repressed het energy
"haha u gay bcuz u homophobe"
"Can we maybe not use that as an insult, since it plays into their preconceived notion that 'homosexuality itself is demeaning?' Maybe just call them an asshole?"
"no"
Seriously, it's not hard to deride people without insulting marginalized groups or using slurs
