damn

Gonna post itt and why

I was kinda homophobic til like 14 yrs old

What changed was that i matured

I remember you. The way you insulted me over playstation 2 still stuck with me. No way you could of changed.

Derailed thread*

Jokes aside, this thread has run its course. I will be locking it now.

no lies here lol ive never understood how u can see someone being racist and think cool im gunna be racist

i grew up around racists and homophobes my whole life as a middle eastern. my social circle had some questionable opinions as well but all that has been cut out now

i hear that. as kids we tend to think things arent as serious as they really are and thinking back i allowed a lot of f***ed up s*** to be said because i was unaware of the history behind certain things. knowledge is power tho

Cac?

That s*** doesn't fly in the hood at all

Difference between it not being accepted in your community vs you not accepting it.

Not saying it does, just didn’t seem like the right thread for this conversation

I accept it but I'm DEFINITELY not going to try to change the mind of men in the hood

The only way you could stand up for someone gay in the hood is if they had a formidable posse.

Other than that it's asking to get beat up and branded

No one is saying it’s the same thing as being black, or that your viewpoint is wrong. I totally agree with the fact that there are many places where being openly gay or being friendly with people who are gay puts you in serious danger. Gun crime is rare in my country and area but serious assaults, stabbings, and occasional murders for this type of thing are unfortunately not - homophobia is a pretty universal thing so don’t agree that this is something white people wouldn’t understand.

The point was that in this specific thread, phrasing that how you did seemed off, and would be the same thing as an “ex-racist” coming in here saying I have no problem with black people but I don’t want them tryna associate with me cos people in my are won’t like that

cryin that nigga 14?

"No one is saying it’s the same thing as being black"

there's a reason I'm tryna dodge the conversation with certain people, I know how it goes

goddamn

I was homophobic in middle and high school.

One reason was this gay dude in the neighborhood used to say innaproatie things to me all the time. Won't go into detail, and lastly because everyone picked on another gay dude who was meek. Including me.

I was a horrible person, probably still am.

What changed it was when I made a comment on a gay couple my uncle who is 50+ went off on me.

Then I realized how twisted my mind was, he said "You can't hate people for them being who they are!"

Except with lots of cursing and yelling mixed in

I never really hated gays but, I think like most people before the age 13-14, I was super ignorant about things like that. There are a few gay men in my family and whenever we would have reunions or something of the sort, where the whole family would get together I would never really know how to talk to them. I would give them very short, one word answers to just try and end the conversation. I feel awful about it in hindsight.

As you’re living in Europe u must have seen or heard of neighbourhoods where minorities are really in the minority, and they and, to a lesser extent, anyone who associates with them are tormented daily for it - you telling me you wouldn’t feel a way about someone in that neighbourhood who ducks out of supporting because racism is just accepted there?

Doesn’t mean that the two things are the same tho

Just wanna say a quick f*** you to organized religion

Suck my d*** from the back on Sunday
