Homophobia is experienced differently by every person because they are surrounded by unique people and brought up by unique communities. Blanket statements saying its easier for men to be gay is dismissive of many issues and takes away from the experiences all queer people face. You can recognize the issues of queer women without bringing down the experiences of queer men.

I think homophobia from women is just not talked about enough. I’ve been called the f slur by girls more than men which is crazy. When girls get annoyed they turn to homophobia to make men mad.

^ yeah. Agreed. It was straight gentlemen that as a group pretended to be my cousin’s friend so they could attack him once they were in the position too, breaking his arm. As a gay lady, straight women have absolutely made not okay comments towards me, but it’s straight gentlemen that have been openly hateful towards me and my queer friends. Both are bad, I don’t know why we need to make a point to implicitly kind of almost…uplift (?) homophobic men vs. women? 🥲

I mean, it definitely does help when someone’s homophobia is loud and obvious! Especially since can’t read people for squat. That said, I don’t think leaning into the stereotype that women are always sneaky and passive-aggressive about it is the move - or oddly enough, even accurate. I’ve definitely experienced subtle, passive aggressive homophobia from men, too. 😭 In fact, the passive aggressive homophobes I dealt with in high school…were all dudes. It sucks all around. 🤙

I’m a woman but I had a friend that would keep queer women as pets and you’re exactly right. I spoke against her and she devolved into homophobia, stalking, and death threats. She even threatened to kill my dog and tried to get me expelled and arrested. Friggin narc

i agree with you but i’m not sure this is what op meant. pretty sure they’re comparing how homophobic straight f men and homophobic straight women treat gay people differently !

i wasn’t saying being queer for anyone is easier than another. i was simply pointing out how homophobic men are usually more straight forward with their homophobia than homophobic women

I didn’t say you said it was easier to be a queer man. I’m saying you are bringing down the experiences of queer men by saying their homophobia they experience is “sm better.” A gay man was literally killed last week by his neighbor for being gay.
