Homophobia

One of the things that bothers me the most about homophobia is that it frames gay people to be hypersexual and hell-bound. Shaming someone based on their dating preferences is dehumanizing and happens too frequently to LGBTQ+ people. The homophobia that men show against other men is the most disturbing because they frame gay men as predatory because they are assuming that gay men gaze at straight men the same way straight men gaze at women. Their sexual orientation is none of your business and doesn’t define them nor dictate their lives. Worry about who is in your bed and no one else’s.
