I don’t see how people who do support LGBTQ+, forcing their own belief on someone else who doesn’t, is fair either. I mean I’m against drinking, smoking, and cursing too (used to swear like a sailor in high school), but I don’t treat people who do that any differently either. If they’re being arrogant or stupid, I’ll treat them differently because they’re being arrogant or stupid. Not because they’re impaired on whatever it is they’re consuming. I might lose some respect for them personally, but I’ll still respect them as a human (I’m not perfect either).
I never stated I hate non-straight people, I just do not support that life choice. In fact, I don’t hate people at all. I might not respect some, but that doesn’t mean I hate them. I never treat them differently specifically because of their orientation. I can sometimes be on edge around gay males, mostly just to assert my straightness and lack of any interest whatsoever. It’s nothing personal against them or their choice, I just don’t want anything that sensitive get miscommunicated. I do not want a male making sexual advances at me thinking I may be open to it. I’m also not exactly interested in watching said activities happen. I’m not going to cause a riot over some dudes kissing in a show like a Karen, because I do believe in equality amongst people. Sometimes movies and TV shows can take it to the extreme, though, and it starts pulling away from the actual storyline. Nothing else to it but that. Again, that’s my religion, and I don’t see how I can’t have the freedom to not support it any more than those who do have the freedom to support it.
If you’re referring to the one time I called something gay, that’s just something I’ve had a habit of doing growing up. I’ve worked on breaking that, and using more appropriate terms, since people get too sensitive about it and don’t see it the way I was referring to it as (generally a replacement for stupid, and the like. “That’s gay” meaning “That’s stupid”). Maybe it was just my growing up and interpretation, hence working on braking said habit.
As for calling Google Jews, I’m just implying they’re being greedy, and it’s again, something I’ve associated with growing up. I meant nothing towards the Jewish community or any of the like. It’s just another bad habit I’m working to break. I honestly don’t call anyone/anything a Jew like that much at all. It upsets me too when people use it jokingly, or actually show antisemitism as you say. That’s just the level of frustration I am at with it that triggered me to do it.
I know sometimes I can come off as a bit of a douche with my dialog, but again that’s just from bad habits I’ve formed around other people with bad habits while growing up. I won’t change my beliefs about supporting LGBTQ+ lifestyles, though. Love people, sure, but not going to support those choices. I’m the same way with people who go get trashed drunk/high. I don’t hate them, but I don’t support that choice. That’s more personally driven than religious based, but it is also part of that as well.
I apologize if I’ve insulted you or anyone else in any way based on my choice of words that were misused. I recognize I let my emotions dictate my speech (or text) at times, and I may be oblivious to how it may affect others, especially in completely different regions and cultures.
I’ll serve my week as you deemed fit, if it helps at all.
