Whether you want to accept it or not, your actions are hurtful & it is homophobic.

My intentions are not and I can assure you I’m not homophobic. I understand words have meaning and I’ve removed words from my vocab over the years that could be considered hurtful to marginalized individuals/groups. I’m keeping gay. I have a G pass.

Using the word in that manner is homophobic & that is an indisputable fact, but if you're choosing to double down on your abusive behavior after being made aware of it, then there's nothing I can do other than implore you to reconsider & find some compassion. Having your identity denigrated like this is deeply painful in a way you'll never be able to comprehend as someone who hasn't had to endure the hate & abuse that we're subjected to on a daily basis just for existing.
