RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

My friend says he's queer but he's always talking about how much he hates the LGBTQ community and calls them things like pedophiles and such, saying the whole community is like that and that they're evil and says he's one of the "good" bisexual people.

Tell him to get therapy and discuss any historical trauma he has

Sounds like your friend is a horrible, despicable piece of shit and that you should cut ties and run very, very far away. Dude has an extreme amount of self internalized hatred if he believes he's one of the good bisexuals while everybody else is terrible. would imply that he thinks that bisexuals and queer people in general are at a default terrible and that he is one of the good ones by overcoming that. Leave.

You can either, as people on here seem to support, run away, or you can call him on his bullshit every time. Engagement may change his song a bit. If not, then sure, run away.
