Blog: THOUGHTS OF A BISEXUAL
< Recoveries and a big THANK YOU!"Choosing" to be Gay >

Homophobes I think everyone on this site can relate to what I am talking about here. We all have had to deal with homophobes at some point or another.
They can be completely silent, but we still know they're there. Or they can all but shout it to the world that they hate gays. And if it is the second one, they can be extremely mean.
My brother is very homophobic. I hear sick homophobic jokes on a daily basis when i am around him. (If you have been keeping up with my blogs you know what im talking about)
Heres a story for you all:

Yesterday I got paid. And i promised my best friend I would go get some fireworks to shoot off when we both get back in town. (For those of you that dont know, I live in the US and its our Independence Day) I have been out of town for the past 6 weeks and will be home this weekend. He has been put of town.for the past week and will also be home this weekend. So I went and bought some fireworks for us.

My brother loves playing with anything that involves fire. And he saw the bag of fireworks sitting on the counter. He knew that I had bought them to take home this weekend for my best friend and I and he knew that I was not going to shoot them off here. He asked if I was even going to shoot off a couple of them, because at least then "there would be a guy around."
Just so you know, my best friend that I got the fireworks for is gay. And my brother knows that. So I took extreme offence to that. I looked at him and said "Just because hes gay, does not mean he isnt a guy. And for the record, shooting off fireworks with him is a hell of a lot more safe than shooting them off with you because he used to be a volunteer fireman" He kept going on about how gays are so bad. And that he still isnt a guy. and bla bla bla. I was about ready to punch him. I was so pissed off. My brother is mean. Hes so mean. I hate it. He doesnt realize that hes hurting me when he does crap like that. He acts like gays arent even human. But we are. We are just as human as everyone else.
So homophobes are everywhere.. I dont want to shove homosexuality down any of their throats... But I do wish we could get some support from them. All i really want from them is their support.

i know that feeling. but keep your head high, because you are more than he will ever be.
it will be alright in the end, and if it's not alright, it's not the end yet.

Not to be mean, but you shouldve punched him. He could have taken it, my brother once punched me in the face to wake me up so that we could go down stairs and open our Christmas presents. Some times people cant be reasoned with.

I've also been having problems with homophobia today. My uncle's a hardcore conservative, and all in all, kind of a dick. He makes a lot of comments like "c'mon, ya got gay muscles" (to my cousin trying break a lobster shell) or to my toddler cousin who's mother had painted his nails, "uh, little faggy, don't you think?" and later to his mother, " well, excuse me for worrying about your son you're trying to turn into a tranny". It just makes me angry.

Wow your brother is a little ass isn't he?

Well as much as homophobic ass as he is he is your brother and as much as he deserved to be punched you should still love him, but keep your head up and keep on smiling cause you're better than him Emoticon: Smile :)

what you do with homophobes is you laugh at them, it bugs them you see no matter how angry you get yourself don't show it just agree with them casually and think of something really witty to say back to them for e.g. someone said something really rude to me, he was like five years older i was 17 at the time so last year about sitting on is..... naughty parts (i'm cutting back on swearing) i simply replied in front of all his cronies listen mate the day you figure out what its for why you have and the day you grow a pair and grow something of descent size look up one of your bum chums there because i'm gay not desperate (my key line) obviously different circumstances but you get the basic idea right Emoticon: Smile :) hope i helped even if it wasn't much help and more of something to make you laugh

Since I've decided I like girls, I haven't come across any homophobia from people (luckily). But it'll happen eventually xP
Homophobia is gay

Joy,
It really isnt something you decide. It just kinda naturally happens.
But yes, the homophobia will happen eventually. Even if you havent come out to anyone. I havent come out to anyone but my close friends. And they are supportive but my brother is just.. an ass. honestly hes just an ass.
