I hitchhiked around the southern US for a while in the late ‘80s and, as a small blonde-haired, blue-eyed white girl, you wouldn’t believe what southern white guys were willing to say in front of me. It was appalling.
Ever since trump started gaining popularity, it’s all been very familiar. ‘Oh, you call everyone you don’t like racist’ – no, I call racists racist, and if this offends you, fucking check yourself. It’s not hard to respect people, and it’s not hard to not be a bigot. Just respect people, simple as.
Is it hurting you that people are gay? No. Does it impact your life that someone you’ve not even met is trans? No. So shut the fuck up and mind your own. Lord knows your own house could use some intellectual maintenance. Maybe attend to that before throwing shit at others.
