I’m an ally, I was part of the original superstraight subreddit, after a day or two of satirizing this woke conversion therapy nonsense lesbians started showing up and showing us what we were posting as satire they had actually been dealing with for years. It was horrifying. I’m a fairly conservative straight man and old enough to remember your struggle to get people to accept that sexuality was innate and not a choice, I even helped convince a lot of fellow conservatives this was the case with a simple question “could you choose to be gay? If it’s a choice anyone could do it” and that seemed to make it click for a lot of people. Anyway S+ was meant to be inclusive, I still don’t quite understand what telling someone they’re valid is supposed to mean but it seemed to make people happy. But homophobia is not in the spirit of the true S+ movement.
