I'm gay.

My dad is not pleased with this fact. Completely homophobic.

Half the time his homophobia doesn't even make sense.

>Go to my room

It's getting ridiculous. He goes out of his way to respond to everything I do by calling me a removed.

Not every homophobe is closeted/repressed and gay.

Many are just bigoted shitheads.

It's much funnier to accuse them of being closeted as it drives them nuts.

But this comment is not going to be seen by them.

I see this type of comment on almost every post like this. It suggests the idea that gay people are the cause of their own persecution. Because if only repressed gay people hate gays who are out and public about it then no straight people are responsible for homophobia.

You're interpreting too much into it. It's just a "NO U!" response.

And I would interpret it differently: society is so bad that it makes people hate themselves for who they are.
