I'm aware that, most of the time I live in my own bubble, with good friends and people I feel comfortable and safe around, but yesterday I was painfully reminded by 'friends' very dear to me what homophobia meant. We hadn't seen each other for a long time and one of them started studying at university. She kept talking how annoyed she was by queers, especially trans people and muslim gays/lesbians at her university, my other 'friends' agreed. I just stood there, feeling like I've been punched. I forgot how much they loved to hate queers. Okay, I know I should've said anything, but knowing I was outnumbered I just kept my mouth shut. But sure, they hate on Igbtqia+ people, downtalk them, calling us disgusting and awful, and then hug me, a muslim panromantic asexual, saying goodbye and how much they'd missed me. This world is sure messed up...

@SecretAssassinL Aww, I'm so sorry to hear your friends said those things, and I can't blame you for being quiet about it. Yeah, the world is messed up. I grew up with lgbtq+ and trans friends, and even though I'm not trans or apart of the lgbtq I choose to respect everyone no matter who they are -- cause no matter who you are, what colour, gender, sexuality, everyone should be respected. And if you ever need to talk to someone, rant to, or even need a shoulder to lean on, I am here to chat, my friend. Just hit me up on my board, and I'll be there! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ❤️
