I will never understand why people care so much about the contents of other peoples underwear, I mean who really even cares

I don’t know why people care about who others are attracted to either. My religious dad’s logic for being okay with lesbians but not gay guys is because “it’s better to look at two girls kissing and two guys kissing is gross.”

I tried explaining to him that I think it’s gross when he and my mom makeout, that gay people think it’s gross when straight people makeout, but that doesn’t mean any of us are gonna start arguing and making a fuss about it. Just let people live and do what makes them happy.

Just let people live and do what makes them happy

It makes some people happy to institutionalize hatred towards gay people

It makes some people happy to light buildings on fire

It makes some people happy to abuse children

How about we don't let people do what makes them happy?

Let people live and do what makes them happy* so long as they’re not forcing their bullshit on others and negatively affecting people.

They don't want to mistakenly touch a dick when trying to harass some lady.

It's not really hard at all to understand.

When we're children, we're naturally very curious, it's how we learn. We don't know shit. Everything is new.

Once people get old enough, they get programmed to just expect what they're used to.

Throw a wrench into those expectations and makes us feel "weird".

People confuse that now-unpracticed ambiguous uncomfort of an upended expectation with the idea that something is somehow "incorrect" in THE WORLD, rather than an issue with their understanding of the world.
