That's totally understandable! I would never tell anyone they had to interact with people who make them uncomfortable. I'd be a totally hypocrite if I did. I have set boundaries with a lot of people in my life for my own mental health so I totally get that.. I guess I was really just ranting. Like I said I'm still trying to figure it all out for myself.

[[ I'm sorry, but I cannot take just your word for this when you're in an anon account.
If it is the truth I am sorry for you and I am hopeful once you're older and able to get away then you'll mature.
I too am stuck at home due to being disabled and abused by my homophobic mother. Yet, I dont spread hateful, although not intentionally posts
Of course I am 19, and thus an adult so there's that difference between us.
When I was a child I was also very uneducated.
I didnt understand non-binary people and now I identify soley with Neo Pronouns.
You're young, you'll grow.
But if you're unwilling to be honest about your identity you must accept people cannot trust you]] -
I believe you, and I'm so sorry to hear it. I can't agree with your opinion, but I don't wish harm on you or anyone. That doesn't change my stance.

Ok thank you for trying to understand. I was just venting something that I was reminded of by the interactions that had occured earlier.
***VENT feel free to skip***
it feels like I'm never gonna be accepted honestly. My family thinks I'm evil and demonic (well I did tell them I might be a Satanist in all seriousness) they try to force their morals and Christian anti-LGBTQ dogma down my throat. So at home I'm very much an LGBTQ supporter. But I still try to be respectful of everyone, even my family's beliefs if that makes sense
***END VENT*** -
But they've always tried to bully me into respecting them, so maybe it's a little bit of Stockholm syndrome?
-
That's possible. The opinon you expressed sounds like internalized homophobia to me.

The one about respecting homophobes?

Slightly more lighthearted.
I came out to my parents because my dad sat my brother and I down and asked us to raise our hand if we ever looked at a girl and thought "dang..."
To my surprise, I raised my hand and my brother didn't and that's how my dad found out I was bi and my brother was asexual lol. Weirdly he wasn't that angry, just had a long talk about it.. me being agnostic and dating outside the religion was a whole other ball park though lol. -
Yes. I know you don't see it that way, but the idea that you should respect people that think you shouldn't be able to live your life in accordance with what makes you happy and safe is harmful to yourself and spreads a harmful narrative to other queer youths.

Don't take this as me siding, but I can see what slay monarch is saying. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, however one of my siblings has different beliefs, and I respect them. I understand most of you see being LGBTQ+ as a large part of your identity, and see slay monarch as attacking your identity. Your arguements and opinions are valid. If you don't want to interact with them, no one is forcing you too. Just ignore them if their beliefs make you uncomfortable. But telling them their opinions are sh--t is disrespectful, no matter how true it is. At the end of the day, everyone is human.

[[ yes, but telling us we are attacking someone for saying we don't want to interact with them is both s---ty and disrespectful. You can't tell us not to call their take s---ty when they're being just as disrespectful. ]]

I really don't understand how I was being disrespectful but I will definitely think about your opinions and beliefs and consider them

Just casually adding my input in, as a pansexual, non-binary and possibly asexual individual.
I refuse to befriend anyone who doesn't accept me for my sexuality and gender identity, since it brings a lot of trauma and gender dysphoria with it. I've been oppressed by my classmates, teachers, siblings, parents, family members, and random strangers on the internet. I can't come out without being lectured and outed. I'm afraid to show pride during pride month. I'm scared to be myself because of people with different viewpoints than me.
I'm sorry if I side-tracked the conversation, I just need to share my view on it since I can't irl.
