Rant time! This time it is about Homophobia. Why am I ranting about that? Well in times where people are becoming more and more accepting there are still people that are stereotyped. Who? People that actually have Homophobia. People use that term to say someone hates those who are gay just because of that. Yet what really is Homophobia? I'll give you a hint, it's in the name. That's right a phobia. That is a form of an exaggerated fear of what said phobia is about. They are also uncontrollable. So why in this day and age are people bashing those with a phobia? I can't give an answer but will leave on this question.

@Catrac0 yeah thats how i felt when i first learned about homophobes, then i realized with autophobia how it felt to be scared and uncomfortable.

@doggysruler I guess I didn’t understand any of wes’s whole entire point bc I wrote that when I was 10 lol. I understand and respect it now, but man that old message I wrote definitely makes me cringe…

@Catrac0 So, this message is old , isn't it?I don't have homophobia, but I do have autophobia(A fear of being alone). Using this I can tell you how it would feel to be homophobic, see, most homophobic people can't control it, most likely it comes from a childhood trauma, my autophobia came from my parents never leaving me alone as a kid, so I always had someone around me, most likely these people had their parents cheat on each other with the same gender, or were being pressured to be gay/lesbian by their "friends". In all honesty they would rather not feel the way they do, but they can't help it. And to end it off, the real way homophobic people would feel is uncomfortable, or they'd think its not right. This isn't their fault, and if you want to blame somebody, you need to blame the person who activated the trauma. That or they're just in a religion and are a bad person.
