    Why would anyone straight have a problem with anyone being gay? Are they all in the closet and think that what they feel is what everyone feels, and somehow the fault of gay people?

      You know, for one reason or another I won’t bother you with I’m still in the WhatsApp group of my childhood friends.

      They’re a bunch of dicks, and tbh were I to meet them today I’d avoid them like the plague, but a couple of people in there are actual friends, so I stick around.

      Anyway, the humour in the chat is that of many WhatsApp groups, jokes about women, sex and so on.

      Boomers humour, so to speak, even though we’re all X-Gen.

      Sadly, 80% are jokes about gays, which can get fairly nasty at times.

      A couple of weeks ago I actually said “hey, how come you guys always joke about gays and trans? Like, all the time? You know who does that? Closeted homosexuals”.

      Then I linked a few articles of random gay-bashing Republicans who were caught fiddling kids and were forced to admitting being gay.

      “Rings a bell?”

      I haven’t seen a gay joke in the group since.
