"Not homophobic", just triggered over hearing about them...

I am not going to reply to your snarkiness. Read my perspective here https://lemmy.world/comment/15354645

And your reply also over generalises my being from 2 words. I am not triggered by hearing gay - but maybe I am too. I have friend who is queer, but even they don't like that their description should start from them being queer. They would much rather prefer if you charecterise them by their name or work, and not just 1 part of identity.

I would also prefer if you would read my original comment again.

"I have a black friend therefore I'm not racist" "I have a trans friend therefore I'm not transphobic"

Highlighting the fact that you're "totally not homophobic" just makes you look exactly that, like you're "just asking questions" as many other bad actors do.

It's disappointing that these are the views of the uplifting community moderators.

Again with the snarkiness. Did you even read it? They do not prefer to be reduced just down to their label, they more than that. I am not really interested in turning your opinion on me, and you clearly do not want to understand what I am saying. Also these are my personal opinions, not as moderators.
