Homophobia doesn’t get you closer to heaven actually
imagine thinking so hard about another’s sexuality/preference.. and then assaulting someone over that. way too much energy, seek therapy
People are way too obsessed with how strangers live their lives. That's an exhausting way to live and only leds to decision making that eventually ends you up in prison or worse. Hatred got our communities in a damn chokehold. Find peace yall.
This is what hate breeds. We were moving forward for years and now people are eagerly sliding backward. It’s disgusting and sad. Toxic masculinity got nothing good to give the world.
