Hey Pandas, How Do You React To Homophobia? (Closed)

I try to reason with them but I give up if they bring up Jesus or the Bible it’s kinda hard to persuade those people

My bestfriend is asexual/aromatic whenever she tries to explain this. Some people comes up to her and says "are you sure you're aromatic? Maybe you haven't found the right guy yet." Most of these people who says this is straight so she likes to yell back "Maybe YOU haven't found the right guy yet."

Violence

They are human beings like me and everyone else. all children of mother earth. 💕

As long as the other person is a consenting adult who the hell cares

Try to keep the situation calm and then suggest an articulated debate, because no one ever concedes anything when they are all fired up.

When I encounter people that are homophobic I typically ignore them and their antics. But if they are bugging someone for being LGBTQ+, don’t blame me for being rude. (Don’t worry MOST of the time I attempt peace first)

I call them out most times when people insult me I tell them they are being homophobic

Any time a cis hetero says the lgbtq+ community is mean to them, I respond with “omg that’s so sad. Do you need a tissue? That must be so hard. Alexa, play despacito.” (To the snowflakes, no, I don’t mean all straight people)

So my main coping mechanism with the homophobic guys at my school is shipping them with each other. Ik arguing or explaining won’t work at this point and it’s either shipping or plotting murder. If you can come up with something better than shipping (bc it’s kinda encroaching on sexualities) please tell me.

Logic, reason, google, and the simple question- ''Why?''

Loudly shout That they just said something homophobic

If someone outright says something awful to me I say I don't tolerate ignorance and that their way of thinking is rapidly becoming obsolete, then walk away letting them sputter away. If I am with a friend who is a member of the LGTBQ+ community and someone is being a jerk we either ignore them and continue having a fun time, or if they are really paying attention we start camping it up just to get them riled.

Male homophobe = Are you gay

Me [ male ] = Give us a kiss and I'll tell you.

No reaction is the best reaction. I know, it's nearly impossible to change how they think (most cases).

Flip off, block, or if they're not cyber-related, maaaaaybe a little ketchup in their backpack....maybe.....idk

i always respect someones opinion so it really cancels out for me, if someone wants to be homosexual I will accept them as I would the rest of the people in my community but if someone is homophobic i will respect their opinion and their belief just as i would want someone to respect mine

I'm not gay, but you know what? It's a you do you thing. People are obviously allowed to have opinions about people being gay but the people who disapprove shouldn't try to stop gay people from being what they want to be.
As I said, I feel that it's no one's place to try and stop someone who wants to be gay.

Tell them about the study (true) that shows that extrem Homophobia is a telltale sign someone most possible is a homosexual himself. Shuts most homophobe comments off instantly.

Homophobic Friend: "being gay is so weird, it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and James"

me: "yeah little s**t, it's homosapiens not heterosexuals-
no wonder you're the failed abortion in your family, try passing your biology class first, dumbass-"
