Straight people don’t get to determine whether their actions were homophobic.

STRAIGHT PEOPLE DON’T GET TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEIR ACTIONS WERE HOMOPHOBIC.

Straight people can determine that their -intentions- weren’t homophobic, and apologize if their -actions- were unintentionally homophobic. But they don’t get to determine whether their actions were homophobic in the first place.

@overcaffinatedravenpuff gets it.

You can do something homophobic without being a pitchfork-wielding homophobe who wants all of us to burn. Even allies do homophobic things sometimes by mistake when they just want to help us.

If your actions unintentionally harmed someone, just say “I’m sorry, I’ll try not to do that again,” and it’s all good.

What you don’t do is say, “You’re wrong. You’re stupid/overreacting/I have gay friends so nothing I say is ever homophobic.”
