I grew up non religious and i grew up around gay people. Never understood the hate. I often stumble across homophobes at work and pretty much every one of them has the same story in their catalog: “i don’t mind gay people IF they don’t hit on me.” And then they all tell their story where some gay guy hit on them. It’s all just an excuse to hate something. Buddy, you are a little fat man, no one hits on you. And even if, who gives a shit. Women get hit on all the time by guys they find gross, probably by the same people who tell these stories.
