        Unironically this is probably the case - feminine ones are excluded from military service for example (show proof to the doctor to escape service), whereas others are allowed.

    Why would anyone straight have a problem with anyone being gay? Are they all in the closet and think that what they feel is what everyone feels, and somehow the fault of gay people?

      Well, to be “fair,” a significant portion of homophobes believe an invisible man in the sky said it was bad, according to some guys who knew some guys who knew a guy that died several hundred years before they wrote that into their “things the invisible man in the sky said” collection of fan fiction.

        If it weren’t for that, I would imagine it’d be advantageous for straight guys for there to be a gay guys: there’d be less competition for the women!

      You know, for one reason or another I won’t bother you with I’m still in the WhatsApp group of my childhood friends.

      They’re a bunch of dicks, and tbh were I to meet them today I’d avoid them like the plague, but a couple of people in there are actual friends, so I stick around.

      Anyway, the humour in the chat is that of many WhatsApp groups, jokes about women, sex and so on.

      Boomers humour, so to speak, even though we’re all X-Gen.

      Sadly, 80% are jokes about gays, which can get fairly nasty at times.

      A couple of weeks ago I actually said “hey, how come you guys always joke about gays and trans? Like, all the time? You know who does that? Closeted homosexuals”.

      Then I linked a few articles of random gay-bashing Republicans who were caught fiddling kids and were forced to admitting being gay.

      “Rings a bell?”

      I haven’t seen a gay joke in the group since.

      I think a mix of religion and being brought up with old-school morality. I’m a conservative who has no problems with homosexuals, in fact HIV/AIDS is one of the causes I really get behind because the history of it fascinates me (currently reading And The Band Played On, it’s great).

      Whenever I see homophobia or erroneous beliefs about them I try and correct them when I can.
