‘Hate only exists because of closeted queers’ is a fucked up sentiment. Most bigots are bigots for reasons that have nothing to do with their sexuality. Look at who’s running the government, you don’t think there’s a financial and political incentive to be a bigot right now? Straight people aren’t all upright paragons of morality who would never hurt people out of hate. I cannot emphasize enough how regressive it is to blame social problems on queers, no matter how you dress it up.

If you want to have a discussion about the psychological effects of being in the closet and try to relate that to hurting others, then it’s important to first understand that most closeted people hurt themselves if they hurt anyone, and in general aren’t fucking fascists. The only group that voted less for Trump than queer people was black women.

This whole sentiment that Trump appointees and party members are all f*ggots in the closet is based entirely in confirmation bias. You don’t remember the ones that are straight because that’s unremarkable to you.
