I have absolutely no problem for an ON to restrict homosexuality since its fictional. However, I do have a huge problem when it comes to someone being homophobic. Likes what's wrong really? You don't want people of all kinds to love each other? Love is one of the strongest or maybe the strongest emotion that not only humans feel but animals, even some plants. And before you use that mediocre excuses of "I'm Christian" or "this is the internet", remember that there are so many Christians in this world including me that fully support homosexuality and the LGBTQ community.

I don't want to talk much about the "I'm Christian" thing since I don't want to offend anyone by saying things about their religion and I respect all religions. I respect that God apparently thinks homosexuality is a sin. I respect it but I whole-heartedly disapprove of it. Yeah, that's about it. I'm not very religious and I identify more as agnostic/spiritual.

Now, the "this is the internet" one really grinds my gears. Obviously the internet is a place where one can express him/herself freely. However, many exploit their freedom of speech which disgusts me even more. They can say some nasty things and finish it all off with "this is the internet freedom of speech, man". And then when they get hate for saying what they said, they play it off like "I don't care about what you say" when obviously they do because they replies to the hate! It's freedom of speech until you're an asshole to a community with millions of supporters. It irritates me so much how everyone can get away with everything on the internet just because of the "freedom of speech".

And lastly, what is wrong with the LGBTQ community? Do two people of the same sex kissing disgust you? Does a woman with a penis and a man with a vagina disgust you? Because personally, I don't care about it and in the end it's still love. As mentioned earlier, love is a very strong emotion that everyone feels in their lifetime at least once. What also perplexes me is how homophobes would react on the day they learn they aren't straight. It's better to not be homophobic in case that ever happens. Do you know how much hate and stress members of the LGBTQ community have to go through? Once they find out they'll be miserable until they come out, and coming out to their parents is a hard thing to do, especially if their parents are religious. I know someone who came out to their religious parents and they accepted him.

Sorry for the wall but I have a very strong opinion on this.
