Since when has it become NORMAL to be homophobic and transphobic ????

Today in class, we had a discussion with a guy who criticized his female friend for dating a trans man. He said it was "against nature" and that they were doing "homosexual acts", which he called "disgusting". The teacher and others kept asking him, "And? How does this affect you in any way?" But he kept doubling down, saying things like, "I don't have anything against them (gay and trans people), I just don't tolerate them." LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK???

He also said, "I don’t like when they put their little flag in their bio. I like the normal gays"

Basically meaning the closeted ones who don’t have the courage to be themselves because they’re afraid of being bullied by people like him. It’s like saying, “I’m not misogynistic, I just don’t like when women leave the kitchen.”

What the hell is wrong with homophobes and transphobes??? 😭

I might be overreacting, idk 😭😭😭
