It just confirms that conservatives are only afraid of everything. It was race, it was gays, it’s now trans. Their entire platform is fear of everything. I saw a guy with a bumper sticker that said “Fuck Biden” and I assumed he was a scared little boy.
Just double checking your awareness that this article talks about the country, not the state.
I mean your comment is probably correct about both, I’m just saying FYI. 😁👍
Whats funny is… it’s probably true in both places. well, the part about conservatives being scared little pricks.
That is also my general understanding about hatred and neophobia/xenophobia in general. It’s the lack of understanding and fear or the unknown that fuels it.
Pretty much all bigotry, is fueled by fear- fear of the other.
And I’m only saying “pretty much” because it’s not like I’m an expert or anything
i like how i had to check to see if i was in us politics or world news because honestly i couldn’t tell from the headline.
I had to open the article to see if this was the country or the US state.
The rest of us can see the flag in the thumbnail 😂
What client do you use?
You use compact view correct? Large view shows the full photo
Compact view is the correct view to use.
But, what if you wanted to see the Georgian flag without clicking the article?
You can click on the post to comment, at which point the bigger thumbnail with the flag is shown.
Regards, another compact layout enjoyer.
Oh don’t worry I saw the flag and was still like “You can just say ‘Republicans.’”
Man, they’re really trying to copy off of Russia’s homework. Why?
that far-right conservatives and the Orthodox Church have accused of infecting Georgia and other countries with “degeneracy.”
A Christian church being not only homophobic but also using the state’s power to inflict its “morality” on others? I am shocked shocked.
Oh this dude is definitely gay.
Can we not do the homophobic trope where everyone who hates gay people must be secretly gay?
I wouldn’t call it a homophobic trope, there’s a lot of truth to it. Closeted gay men in these hardcore homophobic communities tend to have massive self loathing issues, and take it out on everyone else.

Most queer fans see this as a problematic trope that doesn’t really reflect reality and gives bigots and bullies excuses

Okay, maybe you wouldn’t call it that. But many people do
Idk, a 1996 study of 60 men doesn’t sound definitive. That’s their best evidence?
Edit: the study is, as I expected, not great. The homophobic men were far more aroused by the lesbian and straight content. The article is also misleading in saying all of the homophobic men were aroused by gay porn. It was actually around half. So we’re talking roughly 18 men. However, erections can happen for a number of reasons. Fear, for example, can cause erections. These homophobic men had just taken a survey about homophobia. Knowing what the study was about, wouldn’t they be afraid of being labeled as gay? I don’t buy the results.
Fear, for example, can cause erections.
I have never had a fear boner in my life.
I’ve never pissed my pants in fear. I’ve never had a lot of reactions other people do. Doesn’t invalidate it
Shit being uncomfortable has no relation to whether it’s true or not.
