A lot of people's reactions moved from "Homosexuality is disgusting, fuck off" to "No-one cares, fuck off" when someone comes out the closet, without even an intervening "Being gay is acceptable, I was wrong all those years" period of contrition, and I find that very interesting.

No, sometimes the person involved is not someone whose sexuality you give any thought to, or care about in any way. My response comes out of working with a bisexual woman who was incredibly slighted that no-one made a huge deal of her sexuality.

If you genuinely don't care then ignore it, don't go parading around like you're making a point.

The only thing I hear when someone uses that excuse is “The only people allowed to care about your sexuality are the ones who wish you harm for it—you know, the very loud and sometimes very politically powerful ones?” Which, I guess, thanks for the support.

When people are still being put to death and imprisoned or thrown out of home, then we should be interested. Unless we’re incurious about the suffering of others.

And they will take any opportunity to tell everyone at great length about how they don't care.

Being any of the letters in LGBTQ isn’t just about sexuality and someone coming out to you at least deserves thanks that they trust you with that info, and public coming out at least deserves good wishes for navigating the marginalization that comes with being publicly out.

Making one single comment when I was scrolling through my twitter feed, & then commenting on a couple of replies to my tweet doesn't make that true, or unsolicited. I'll never make that mistake again on this topic.
