I'd like to start a thread where to post about known homophobics, as well as post links to their Facebooks so that they can understand how it feels to have someone hate you. They shouldn't be aloud to hate on others and get away with it.

As well as post personal stories and how you dealt with and/or concoured homophobia, as well as to ask for help if you're dealing with homophobia right now.

Please don't threaten anyone who is a homophobe but don't be afraid to stand up for them and anyone they're harassing!
Facebook doesn't remove people who bully and harass so lets protect those who can't protect themselves!

I think it's best to simply ignore them unless they are making serious threats to someone's safety. It's pretty simple to block someone on Facebook. Going on the offensive will only fuel the fire. No, it isn't right what they're doing, but doing the same thing won't help the issue at all.

I've dealt with homophobes like this my whole life, and I can honestly say it's the best solution. The only time I attacked someone was in self defense when they physically attacked me. Otherwise, I avoid trouble and ignore idiots.

This constitutes as trolling (planning to troll/harass someone) and is against Gaia's ToS.

If someone is harassing you for being gay then you have the right to stick up for yourself. However, putting together a list of people with their contact info in order to harass them in return doesn't make you any better than they are.

As ******** up as their views may be, they have the right to have them. The best strategy is to ignore them in any way possible.

If you want to vent about a personal issue or would like to seek help in regards to ANY personal issue, do so here.

I'm locking this thread.
