So yesterday my cishet friend went on a far right rant about lgbt going too far and today he just started accusing me of shit because I reached out to who is now my only friend he get really angry that I told twh rest of his friends about what he did and then called me a fascist. I’m just tired of everything
hugs you
Thank you. I really need it. Its funny I’ve lost basically everything in like 2 months. First I lose my bf and now this
The last 7(ish) years of watching people in my life who appeared ‘normal’ slide into full throated endorsement of fascism has been both fascinating and absolutely horrifying. I hate the thought of cutting some of them out of my life, but haven’t hesitated for a moment to do so.
It sucks and I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
Yeah. It scares me most because before I realized I was bi I was in the far right shithole so I can see the pipeline
Had a similar situation happen a few days ago. A friend in one of my group chats is perpetually on Twitter and gets constantly fed anti-LGBT shit. Then he was complaining about “LGBT books indoctrinating kids in schools,” and his evidence was just a video of the GayBCs book. He kept ranting about that gay people are pushing sexuality on kids, then I turned it back on how we’ve grown up with straight sexuality pushed on us, and all he said was “but that’s natural.” He’s pretty much rotted his brain just by sticking to Twitter and believing every right winger’s weak, tired arguments and outrage.
I’m sorry about your friend
I’m sorry about yours. It’s sad how easily it is for them to fall for that kind of bullshit
I cut him off but I hope he finds a way out. Truth be told I fell for that stuff like 2 years ago and only left a few months ago.
sometimes people aren’t who you need them to be, and life gets hard. i’m here if you need someone new.
you’re always allowed to find new friends, you don’t have to take care of them.
in any case, good luck : )
Its just I trusted this guy and then he pulls this
Had similar experience. Decided that those people are not “friends”. Feels much better afterwards.
Yeah, decided to block the guy. I’m sad because the whole thing made my ace friend sad
