⚠️TW: homophobia, transphobia discussion⚠️
okay, so for those of you who have... shall we say... stubborn parents, family, or friends
and you've ever discussed LGBTQIA+ topics with them
if you feel comfortable doing so, comment on each phrase you've heard them say before, or if they've said something along those lines.
"Straight pride isn't offensive"
"The only flags they should be waving at gay pride is the AMERICAN flag"
"There's only two genders. Get with the program."
"I wish (insert queer family member here) had just been a normal girl/boy."
"They're talking about all the men and women who have coronavirus, what about the other 65 genders you always talk about?"
"Are you gay?"
"Are you transgender?"
"I've been to a pride parade, I'm not homophobic."
"I just think gay relationships are kinda... unnatural."
"Lesbians and gay men should have a seperate bathroom and locker room because they're gay."
"I don't think teenagers should be allowed to transition."
"The alphabet people-"
"LGBTQ+ or whatever isn't a COMMUNITY. It's a bunch of f(slur)s and t(slur)s online! Our town is a community! THAT is not!"
"(insert queer slur here)"
"I don't think you're one of them. You always liked girl colors like pink and purple as a child, you were always feminine."

"If you experience homosexual desires, you have to become a nun/preist."
"Is (insert actor/singer/other here) gay? Why do you like them?"
"Why do you like that specific color scheme? Pink, purple, and blue? I've seen you use it for everything."
"I know you're (insert sexuality here), but I don't want you to marry someone of the same gender."
"The gays only do it for attention."
"You can't just switch your gender."
