Description First off, you're not really their friend if you don't think they deserve the same rights as you.  So that's off the table right there - a real friend wouldn't think any less of you or think you deserve less regardless of your sexual orientation because...shocker, a person's sexuality has - and shouldn't have - no bearing on their personality!  With real friends, you can be completely yourself without fear of judgement.

But yeah...I see this a lot where a homophobic person will try and justify themselves by saying they have gay friends.  They're not 'get-out-of-jail' free cards, guys...quit acting like they are.  In a way, it seems like you only make friends with them because you think it gives you something to cover your ass with whenever you say something stupid.

The same could go with anyone who is against LGBT+ but uses their 'LGBT+ Friends' as a ticket to immunity from criticism.

Considering "homophobic" doesn't seem to have one real definition anyway, we may as well add this stupid rule to the list too.

Well it just means those gay friends are cool and don't show off their sexuality as if its Some thing special
Which again isn't
Love is special
Doesn't matter who with
Sexuality isn't, people only make out seem lile that because of how repressed it was in past times which are no sense on why it happened before but its over

That's not at all what this stamp was talking about.  It's talking about folks who use their gay 'friends' as a shield against criticism...

oh god I've argued with this person before

He is absolutely horrifically homophobic and has a homophobic OC, and treats internalised homophobia like a quirky trait rather than a very real problem

Yee- I'd seen him around before. Part of why I stopped replying- I got better, more productive things to do than interact with scrubs.

Yeah people who do that is kinda bad
But personally I think some people just do that because the whole gay rights thing is really getting too much attention
Not that it's bad or good but me i dont get it
Love is love screw the people that hate that
But again if they arent an ass about it then don't treat them like monsters
.>. That's my thoughts anyways on it

It just means your "gay friends" are better than you for tolerating their dumbass bullshit.
