It's an escape/excuse for people to get cheesed off and abuse someone.
It used to be racism, sometimes it's a faith someone follows - and failing that - it's the car they drive, the way they speak...or even the way they dress.

Some humans just don't feel better till they've denegrated someone 🤷‍♀️...

It's easier than learning to understand or better themselves - coz, you know... That takes effort.🙄
Ah....read it wrong.

How do I deal with it?
First I laugh, and attempt to diffuse, but in way that implies I think it's an antiquated mode of thinking.

If they persist - especially if someone in the group is gay - I defend.

If they persist - o challenge their decision - and push them to explain why - and this is usually where they haven't thought to...

So - they usually stuff up, look a fool... Or prove how ignorant they are.
