For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

    This. It’s the easiest way to find intolerant individuals. Those individuals are very rarely just anti-LGBTQ from my experience. They’re most often intolerant of everyone not like them.

      A lot of them are in fact queer but they’re so repressed that the only way they perceive they have to keep being a part of their community is to be as homophobic as possible

        I mean, remember when the Grindr servers crashed at the republican national convention or some shit because of the overflow of traffic?

        My theory is THAT’S why they say being gay is a choice.

        They themselves are CHOOSING to be straight, and they assume that EVERYONE is feeling the same way and successfully fighting the gay urges. It’s no fair that the “Pride” crew gets to flaunt all that delicious man meat instead of hiding and suffering like “the rest of us”.
