I'll never understand anti lgbtq+ people. They absolutely think you can catch gay, and it's the most maddening, sort of hilarious, mostly depressing thing.

Even more depressing? The vast majority of those hardcore bigots think that because they personally feel the pull to the gay when they see gay things.....and so when a bigoted dude sees Ryan Gosling and gets a tingly pee pee, he assumes that it must be possible to catch gay because he is "catching it". It's why so many bigots are found to be doing the things they profess to hate. It's why Grindr explodes when a republican conference is in town. It's why trans porn is so popular in red states.

How fucking sad is that?

    Often the people who have the absolute least contact with LGBT people (or none at all) are the ones who complaint the loudest. We all piss and moan about the people who actually know, but you can only hate and fear the unknown this much. Only a rube moron can possibly think that having a gay guy live in your town means you better be ready to have the sailor from The Village People grinding and twerking on you everywhere you go. For the rest of us, it’s just “Who? You mean Dennis?”
