Homophobic And Ignorant Words

homophobia comes homophobic slurs and phrases. These slurs have been around for years and only a few years ago society classified these words as offensive leading to many stop using them While some words have been reclaimed by the community there are still words that were used against them. In the beginning of my speech I mentioned some of the homophobic and Ignorant phrases I’ve heard. Well here are some more ignorant things I’ve heard in the past month.The first phrases are someone’s voice sounds gay or they look gay. But gay means a person who is sexually attracted to the same sex. Nothing can look or sound like a sexuality few phrases. The next few phrases, some of you may remember, but who knows. When our class gets a bit noisy, some try to solve the situation using the phrase “whoever talks is [blank].
This then escalated to whoever’s feet is on the ground is gay. You can only imagine the speed of some of the people raising their feet off the ground. Obviously leaving your feet on the ground didn’t make you attracted to the same gender but it gave others an excuse to put a label on others. Straight, gay, lesbian, bi and many more are all labels. we identify as these labels to put our feelings into words so we can understand ourselves and so others can understand us. Whether you are straight, gay, questioning or you don’t want to identify as anything that’s okay. What’s not okay is trying to force a label onto someone, it’s not your call to decide what they should identify as. While some were just in the moment, a few have their views on the community and many were afraid to be singled out. Words affects people and in any situation you should always think before you
