When the answer is what it is not

Homophobia is not always cruel. It is not always mean.

Sometimes a misunderstanding, but always hurtful, always seen.

It's saying that you don't understand, that you accept the people not the sin.

It's mentioning that you're "okay with it" because you have "gay friends."

It is whispers and secrets and being afraid that people will find out.

It is moving away and not being okay and never being sure how to come out.

It's finding one friend that makes you feel seen

but then sometimes each friend comes with two enemies

and it's hard

and confusing

and they try to tell you that it's all make believe

but those feelings you're feeling are valid and fair

but homophobic people might not care
