But the truth of the matter is: The majority of you can never, ever empathize with growing up gay... and all of the negative implications that come with it. I see it in the way you treat so called "self hating gays"... like you are entitled to saying extremely homophobic and hurtful things to someone because they can't stand themselves and can't accept who they are. That's disgusting and it is so apparent to me and it separates out the wheat from the tares, I'll tell you that much.
I'm curious as to what you would consider the alternative solution? Would you hug them and make try to make the hate go away while they rile up crowds to point out that you yourself are diseased and need to be subjected to hatred and harm? Are you supposed to sacrifice your own right to feel safe to make this person who is patently trying to make you unsafe safe?
I can see a deontological argument for why this would make sense but in common everyday practice it would be rather foolish, no?
