This is so extremely specific dude. You okay? Genuinely man I've been in shitty drug situations and if it would help I'm happy to chat here or elsewhere.

I'm much better now, but I see a big crowd here invalidating others experiences because they think it's the right thing. I can't be silent about it.

I think maybe there was a misunderstanding, your comment sounds like it's implying all gays are at fault

No. I'm just saying that homophobes aren't necessarily homophobes because they're bigoted. Plenty of them are that way because they've had a bad experience, or at least I was for a while. I'm good now, but my general approach with people is different and I get pretty triggered about people on the Internet who throw shit instead of trying to push for understanding. Nobody is going to achieve peace by attacking.
