I ofc can only speak for my fellow queer folks. When a queer person says something like, “this is why we don’t have rights” or “this is why we’re blamed for AIDS or Monkeypox,” that person is enabling homophobic dehumanizing rationales to become normal in society and hold the whole community back in fighting for our acceptance.
For a queer person to say something like that, it’s like they’re admitting to themselves that they think they’ll never be good enough for a homophobia-dominant society if they’re caught acting even a little bit looking like a bad person and that our eradication from all life is inevitable. That to me is such self-hating bullshit.
