Just tack the word "white" on there, and it's suddenly fine to be homophobic.

editing to add:

White gay privilege

There is no privilege to being gay. I think the popularity of hating on "white gays" is due to the fact that some straight people really never stopped being uncomfortable with us since gay marriage became legalized.

It's the good old progressive stack: if you can assign privilege to someone then they become fair game to attack.

This is specially true for "yesterday minority groups" like women and gay men.

Let's just ignore the fact that most trans people are middle class and white, shall we?!

Yeah for real lol, the fact that seemingly no one ever comments on this is ridiculous. It especially blows my mind that the class difference is ignored.
