An LGBT person making fun of someone for being straight will never have the same effect as a straight person making fun of someone for being LGBT. Only one of these groups will ever be in danger from hateful remarks. Only one of these groups has been beaten for their identity.

I think it's fair for people to be worried about the spread of homophobia because that's the sentiment that gets our rights taken away. Straight people will simply never have that same experience in regards to their sexuality and therefore do not have to worry about it

A minority group should be rightfully worried when the "harmless" language being used against them is the same language used to justify removing their rights. The majority are the ones who have the ability to decide their rights and safety, of course they will be worried

What I'm hearing is that all minority groups need to segregate themselves from the majority. Their own fountains, spots on the bus, schools. Or you cut the identitarian bullshit and recognize were all just people trying to navigate a world that doesn't care

That's, not what I said at all. Are you listening to a different conversation? Of course I'd love it if our gender identity and sexuality didn't affect how others perceive us but as of now it does and we all need to be mindful of how we interact with others.

And that's a really noble sentiment I think more people should embrace. The problem is that in reality this isn't actually the case. Racism and homophobia do exist and if we don't address or talk about them then these minority groups will suffer. Others aren't as open-minded
