Dude, the overwhelming majority of homophobes are not gay... It's not helpful to think in this way. Teenage boys often hate gay people because they are young and naive, and frustrated and want someone to bully. I was outed at school and bullied, and none of them have turned out to be gay. If we see homophobes as gay, then that means that most straight people are gay-friendly angels, which is far from true.

So true!!! While I'm sure there's some very very rare instances of bullies trying to hide their sexuality, it's highly unlikely. The kids who put me and my friends through a lot of trauma in highschool we're not LGBT. They just wanted easy targets. We have been mentally and physically abused by them, and to think people think they could be "secret gays" is sickening tbh

Wow, why are you guys taking this seriously something that I wrote just after I read this chapter and was all like "he is a fucking asshole"?
And well, I don't have all the knowledge in the world, but when you are okay with your sexuality and don't feel threaten, you don't do this. Most of the people that I knew that were homophobes were not gay, but had experienced attraction to the same gender at a point of their lives, so they are definitely not straight... They couldn't accept it because of our socities (mostly because of religion).
Plus, sexuality is more than just gay and straight and there is very few straight and gay people actually... Bi, pan, ace, the world is not just about gay or straight, it's a lot more complicated ^^"

Clearly you're the one getting upset and defensive with us for telling you that the mindset that homophobes are just closet LGBT people is wrong and harmful to our community. We KNOW that it's more than just straight or gay you don't have to tell us that. We know it's complicated we are living this life and being attacked by homophobes who are not LGBT. It shouldn't upset you that LGBT people are informing you that you are incorrect especially when it comes to topics about malicious or violent homophobes.
Just because some people you know are not straight does not mean homophobes are LGBT.

Chill. Don't worry, I'm not getting mad or anything. You've done nothing wrong. If I sounded argumentative I'm sorry. The reason I "took it seriously" is because you aren't the only person saying this. The comments section is flooded with this idea. People say it ALL the time, and for many of us who are gay it's something that can only cause eye-rolling.
You say that the bullies experienced same-sex attraction, but this sounds like speculation. It's like saying you bully fat people because you're scared of being fat, or bully a minority race because you're scared of becoming black or something. The logic does not hold.
And yes, I know that there isn't just straight and gay, but that's a different conversation. I'm not convinced that some homosexual desires are behind bullying.
Peace amigo.

Well hum, no I wasn't defensive ^^" I guess it's hard to tell when you write something on the Internet, but really, I was just confused ^^"
And just so you know, I'm a part of the LGBTQ community, so I can't get upset actually, cause I always want to understand people better, especially on this subject that touches me directly. I just don't agree with you on this fact and I think it is okay to have different opinions ^^ and english is not my mother tongue, so maybe I don't say correctly what I have in mind!

Guess once again, it's just a misunderstanding and it's okay! I wasn't angry or antyhing :) I totally understand that you can find it a bit upsetting when you saw and heard something every day! I am the same after all!
Well, towards sexuality, I think a ot of things are still speculations today. Maybe one day we will understand this a lot better, I hope so, and so the world will be a better place!
Peace to you too!
I just can't understand what was this guy problem. He must be a closet gay man that can't accept who he truly is. You can't just hur DG like this D:
Gosh, Alex really is a good boyfriend. I've already said it, but seriously, he grew a lot and I really like it :D I will be with him if he wants to kick some ass!
Is it just me or DG is really pretty? I mean, Alex is very hot and all, but damn, DG has such gorgeous eyes! And that smile! And that face! Gosh, he is just so pretty!
