Homophobia sucks, but many people have to deal with it. Help your fellow Pandas know what to do (and help them realize that they are not alone)!

“So how do you feel about left-handed people? They are born like this, trying to change it won’t do them any good.”
50 years ago, pupils (i.e. my mother) were punished for writing with the left hand. Today no one really cares, no one judges, teachers support kids.
I’m afraid LGBTQ+ will need another 20 years until full acceptance. Hopefully less.
#2
I really don’t associate with them. My friend likes to yell at homophobic men, “YOUR G-SPOT IS UP YOUR ASS!”
#3
I give them the go to hell look. Because that where they say we will be going. B*****s.
#4
“Homophobia is usually directly proportional to the chances you are gay yourself” So, if you are 90% homophobic, then there is a 90% chance you are gay yourself. And you try to hide it by lashing out at those who are unashamed of who they are.
#5
Homophobe: Are you gay?
Me: Yeah, why?
Homophobe: But why? Being gay is gross.
Me: I don’t know. Check with your one brain cell.
#6
Try to educate them, some people were raised in situations where they didn’t have any good role models to tell them discriminating against others in f***** up!!!
#7
if I’m being honest, I would probably would just end the conversation as soon as possible.
#8
If they’re the same sex I start hitting on them. Freaks them the f*ck out!
#9
I wear a rainbow face mask at all times, in the deep south, around a bunch of redneck customers
#10
I just ask them why they are homophobic, and try to see the world in their shoes. If they won’t even let me tell them that being homophobic is wrong, then I just end the convo right there. But if they do, I just accept that that is what they believe, and don’t bother them about it anymore.
#11
I dissect their answer with facts then tell them to go to hell.
#12
I tell them I don’t want to know them. That there’s no room in my life for homophobes, racists, sexists, or anyone who chooses ignorance over empathy.
#13
It’s important to be reasonable in any discussion about this. If the person that is homophobic is acting unreasonably, you either end the discussion or risk killing your nerve cells with a minimal chance that they might change their mind.
#14
I ask them why they’re straight and tell them that they didn’t choose to be straight
#15
Ignore them or come up with a witty comeback. Or, take my rainbow beanie out of my bag and forcefully shove it on my head, without saying a word, this is my favourite method and I got some random homophobe to shut up and look guilty doing this, it was glorious.
#16
Call them a pervert for bring so obsessed about what is going on in someone else’s bedroom.
#17
By teaching my children that it is both ok and normal to be attracted to and love who ever they want.
#18
I have a few gay friends. And my brother is bisexual, but not much homophobia here . At least not that I noticed. I once had an argument with someone tho.
It went like this
‘ being gay is unnatural. God says so’
I responded with ”oké sure, and talking snakes, rising up from the dead and walking on water ,is all very natural. And totally normal.”
He didn’t have an answer to that.
It’s usually how I respond to idiots. With sarcasm . You can’t argue with idiots . So I just make fun of them
#19
I say “But we’re HOMOsapiens.” Then I flip them off and walk away.
#20
Usually swears.
#21
I try to reason with them but I give up if they bring up Jesus or the Bible it’s kinda hard to persuade those people
#22
My bestfriend is asexual/aromatic whenever she tries to explain this. Some people comes up to her and says “are you sure you’re aromatic? Maybe you haven’t found the right guy yet.” Most of these people who says this is straight so she likes to yell back “Maybe YOU haven’t found the right guy yet.”
#23
Violence
#24
They are human beings like me and everyone else. all children of mother earth. 💕
#25
As long as the other person is a consenting adult who the hell cares
#26
Try to keep the situation calm and then suggest an articulated debate, because no one ever concedes anything when they are all fired up.
#27
When I encounter people that are homophobic I typically ignore them and their antics. But if they are bugging someone for being LGBTQ+, don’t blame me for being rude. (Don’t worry MOST of the time I attempt peace first)
#28
I call them out most times when people insult me I tell them they are being homophobic
#29
Any time a cis hetero says the lgbtq+ community is mean to them, I respond with “omg that’s so sad. Do you need a tissue? That must be so hard. Alexa, play despacito.” (To the snowflakes, no, I don’t mean all straight people)
#30
So my main coping mechanism with the homophobic guys at my school is shipping them with each other. Ik arguing or explaining won’t work at this point and it’s either shipping or plotting murder. If you can come up with something better than shipping (bc it’s kinda encroaching on sexualities) please tell me.
#31
Logic, reason, google, and the simple question- ”Why?”
#32
Loudly shout That they just said something homophobic
#33
If someone outright says something awful to me I say I don’t tolerate ignorance and that their way of thinking is rapidly becoming obsolete, then walk away letting them sputter away. If I am with a friend who is a member of the LGTBQ+ community and someone is being a jerk we either ignore them and continue having a fun time, or if they are really paying attention we start camping it up just to get them riled.
#34
Male homophobe = Are you gay
Me [ male ] = Give us a kiss and I’ll tell you.
#35
No reaction is the best reaction. I know, it’s nearly impossible to change how they think (most cases).
#36
Flip off, block, or if they’re not cyber-related, maaaaaybe a little ketchup in their backpack….maybe…..idk
#37
i always respect someones opinion so it really cancels out for me, if someone wants to be homosexual I will accept them as I would the rest of the people in my community but if someone is homophobic i will respect their opinion and their belief just as i would want someone to respect mine
#38
I’m not gay, but you know what? It’s a you do you thing. People are obviously allowed to have opinions about people being gay but the people who disapprove shouldn’t try to stop gay people from being what they want to be.
As I said, I feel that it’s no one’s place to try and stop someone who wants to be gay.
#39
Tell them about the study (true) that shows that extrem Homophobia is a telltale sign someone most possible is a homosexual himself. Shuts most homophobe comments off instantly.

Homophobic Friend: “being gay is so weird, it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and James”
me: “yeah little s**t, it’s homosapiens not heterosexuals-
no wonder you’re the failed abortion in your family, try passing your biology class first, dumbass-“
#41
Iiiiit”s smacking time! Also time to cut that person off!
#42
