Venting About Straight Homophobic Friends (is LGBT+ queer representation infringing on straight privilege?) I've referenced this Queer Collective podcast episode #128 from YouTube (before watching it)https://youtu.be/Ea5aKc9c_VY?si=E07g6cKKWbEgrDNF so I'm hoping it's relevant based on only seeing their intro thus far. But I want to talk about some of the conversations I've been in with straight friends. 99% of my straight friends are allies and are amazing, maybe they don't know everything BUT WHO DOES! I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking about the people who consider themselves friends but don't think that LGBT people should have rights equal to their own straight rights. That queer people should not be able to do or say or act similarly to how straight people act (ex. PDAs, song lyrics, casts of shows and movies, reading materials, multi media, dress-codes, and more). These straights don't necessarily state that they are prejudice, or homophobic, and are not willing to see different perspectives. They tend to land on trying to quote texts of religions, religions that they themselves do not even follow, from books that they don't follow any other teachings. And even don't follow the teachings within the same page of texts that they quote. I call this hypocritical. But overall the bigger issue is the flaw of the human mind. We ALL experience discomfort with challenging our own views. Which is why I invalidate these straight opinions. I can see that they speak from their own experiences. But also if they are the majority with more privilege, the weight of their rules and preferences gain more distance than that of a gay minority. These are the bigger psychological and political issues.

I have homophobic and anti Semitic friends! (Prejudice, non aligned values)Are there answers for how to deal with this? I value love, peace, compassion and authenticity. That is already a very difficult battle. Do I stay friends with prejudice people? Do I keep extending a hand when I feel like they don't recognize their own hate? Do I call it out? Do I ignore it?
