Wrote a thing. TLDR “if you only really care about homophobia when it’s perpetrated by someone you think is queer, maybe you don’t care about homophobia”
Ever mused if some homophobe is “secretly gay”? Focus on how they’re openly homophobic argues @SarahGerwens "The story of the gay homophobe shifts both blame and agency ... being queer does not make you homophobic. Homophobia makes you homophobic.” ➡️ bit.ly/3saMVVw
