    This is one of the things that pisses me off. A cis/straight person complaining about a gay relationship in a movie. “They keep trying to force it down our throats” while there are literally thousands of CIS/Straight relationships flaunted everywhere every day in everything everywhere. Fucking hypocrisies.

          In the United States, the Jehovah Witness does exactly this.

          I don’t have a problem with them but you’ve never experienced this?

    Had a group of Christians approach me while i was looking at nail polish in an Ulta. Even after i said no thank you as politely as an angel they still insisted on letting me now their imaginary friend loved me. If anyone in the lgbt+ community acted like that in public Christians would call it grooming.

    When I was 19yo, we saw a couple of mormon fellows making the rounds. My gf suggested we get ready to answer the door naked as though they interrupted us having sex. I can’t remember what happened, so that probably means they didn’t knock on our door. My memory is also shit due to years of drugs and alcohol plus ADHD. It would have been funny, though.

    Religious knockers get an automatic, “Get fucked,” from me today. The fucking arrogance of coming to my home to tell me that I’m wrong and you’re right is baffling.

    The saddest part of all of it is that it affected transphobia a lot, since trans women were painted as gay men tricking straight men in order to convert them to homosexuality. Bigots just realized they can divide the conquer the queer community once enough of the gays started to forget some of the details of the past.

      See, that’s why it’s so hard for homophobes to be around gay people. They want to give a fuck, but they can’t handle their own social stigma so they want it outlawed to remove the temptation.
