SuperStraight

Look, I’m a gay man, and I never got the impression that this subreddit is was homophobic. Yes, maybe some of the people there are homophobic, but so what? Homophobic people are always going to exist. I just don’t talk to homophobic people unless I have to interact with them, in which case I don’t talk about the subject of homosexuality. If a homophobic person brings up the subject with me, I speak my mind, explain that homosexuality is like being left handed - ie, natural and rare, and leave it up to the person to decide what to believe. I will leave the homophobic person alone if he or she leaves me alone and let’s me live my life. But I do agree that EVERYBODY should leave children alone - no discussion of anything sexual, whether homo or hetero, in front of children. No promotion, of course, what’s there to promote? Gay people are just there. No drag queen story hour, no sex education in primary schools, no mentions of words like homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, queer, gay, straight or lesbian in children’s media.

I want to add that because Saidit is much less censorious than Reddit, homophobic people will speak their minds here. They were still on Reddit. They were just silent. My only warning though, is that you should not let hooligans poison the well and make the movement look bad. That is all.
