    two men holding hands

    The horror! 😭 The thought alone made three kids in my neighborhood gay and two others are crossdressing right now!

    Sometimes I wonder if they imagine every couple shagging or only the gay ones. Seems a little odd to me, are they envious?

      I’m not entirely sure, but I suspect that part of it is rooted in misogyny and toxic masculinity. They objectify and disrespect the opposite sex, and they think that’s normal and that people of other sexual orientations and genders must do the same.

      That’s why often their hate is rooted in fear that gay men will sexually harass/insult them, or trans people will deceive them, because that’s what they’d do if they were us.
