Gay does not mean interested in you.

Lesbian does not mean “probably going to hit on you”.

Homosexual isn’t a horny caricature trying to fuck you.

Get over yourself.

Bisexual does not mean “wants to have a threeway.”

Pansexual doesn’t mean ‘fuck everything and anything’.

Asexual doesn’t mean “just never had sex with you.”

Heterosexual doesn’t mean ‘I’m an asshole and bi/trans/homophobic.’

YES

Yes it does.

You know why? Because we live in a homophobic, biphobic, transphobic society. Hell, I’m queer and I struggle with that internalized problems. You’re not exempt from it just because you don’t think you are. Everyone learns those things, and it takes a lot of time and effort to unlearn them. It’s something you have to do constantly, not just by making the decision “well i guess i’m not -phobic anymore”.

And if you really weren’t a -phobic asshole, you’d be working on it instead of whining about people calling you out. If you weren’t a -phobic asshole, you’d know that sometimes you slip up and the marginalized groups have every right to point that out to you so that you can be more mindful of what you say and do that may have consequences you haven’t thought of.

If you weren’t a -phobic asshole, you wouldn’t derail this post about marginalized people talking about their troubles with the representations we have to deal with in order to make it about yourself when literally everything else panders to you.

Put on your adult pants and accept some responsibility.

And for god’s sake, stop injecting yourself into our conversations.
