71. Er. Yes we do.
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 09:10 AM by Chovexani
There is a spectrum of bullying, anti-LGBT behavior. Unless you live deep in the heart of the Bible Belt or you just came out five minutes ago, I doubt the only kind of homophobia you've gotten has been the "die faggot" kind.

I have yet to have anyone scream "dyke" at me in the classy office settings I've worked in. But I've overheard more than my share of loud "private" conversations about how homosexuality is a sin and "those people" just want special rights because of what "they do in bed". Particularly when I lived in Phoenix and we had our very own DOMA measure on the ballot.

(And please, please do not turn this into a queer vs. PoC thing. Intersectionality FTW.)
