People are still arguing with me about something that happened nearly two years ago. Most of it is hearsay—not facts.
So let me be clear: I don’t exclude queer people. I exclude racists.
And being queer doesn’t exempt anyone from being racist.
If someone says, “This person is racist,” the correct response isn’t, “Well, that person is homophobic.” The correct response is, “Let’s investigate—regardless of who made the accusation.”
And if the accuser is a homophobe? Then we look for patterns. Repeated behaviour. Not just one screenshot.
Otherwise, we’re not doing justice—we’re just picking teams. -

secondly, some guy going "it doesn't matter if someone is queerphobic when they're calling out racism" is pretty tone deaf, don't you think?
calling out racism isn't a free pass to be a transphobe just like calling out genocide isn't a free pass to be anti-Semitic
implying that you know anything about justice or want anything to do with it, after justifying bigotry is kind of funny -

Second, your standard applies in both directions. “You haven’t blocked someone I told you is homophobic” is not the same as someone, y’know, being homophobic.
But if they block me for asking if they’re homophobic, well, I guess they block me!
