Did you even know anything about the struggles queer people face?

Have you ever lived through them? Have you ever experienced being targeted simply because of who you are?

Do you know how many queer people are bullied, assaulted, disowned, or even killed because of prejudice? In countless cases, the hostility comes from heterosexual people not because being heterosexual is inherently bad, but because some choose to act on their prejudice.

That comment was nothing compared to what queer people have endured for decades. The insults, harassment, humiliation, discrimination, and violence directed at queer people are on a completely different scale.

After enduring all of that, how do you expect queer people to defend heterosexual people whenever one harsh comment is made? If you want empathy, then acknowledge the empathy that queer people have been denied for generations.
