Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.
Making this claim only results in covertly blaming gay people for their own oppression. There are far more non-queer bigots than there are self-hating queer people, and this joke needs to be retired.
I hear you, and you may indeed be correct, but in a surprisingly large number of cases the more homophobic someone is; the more likely they are deeply closeted themselves. There are a number of documented occasions on which a conservative convention in a given area coincides with a huge spike or even a crash of gay dating apps
How did you reach this conclusion?
I think you probably just made that up.
Someone’s never lived in a small town. Where the hell are you getting the notion homophobia is mostly self-hating queers, a terminally online community?
