Input: Okay, so here’s the ordeal. 

There were these bunch of girls at my school making homophobic and transphobic jokes, as usual. This wasn’t  a one-off, they make these jokes in front of me often, while knowing i’m a flaming lesbian myself. I don’t get offended easily, and i’m all for that drama, but it had gotten to the point where their ‘jokes’ were actually pretty hurtful. I don’t try to stop them,  because i know they’ll tell me to stop being sensitive and that they wErE oNlY jOkInG. 

Anyways, somehow it had gotten to the point where one of the girls was talking about how their brother was really good at twerking, so i make a joke about him being a twink. Looking back on the situation, ‘twink’ probably wasn’t the best word to use, as i know even some gay people aren’t comfortable with the phrase, so that was probably a mistake. 

Either way, the girl immediately got really offended, and was saying stuff like ‘are you saying my brothers gay?’ i tried to backtrack and explain how it was a joke, but it got really uncomfortable between us real quick. i don’t think anyone else heard, but i still kinda feel like that was a joke i should’ve kept to myself. 

So, am i an asshole?

Sidenote, if you are a more feminine gay man, or gay at all, i have no issues with you, keep on doing your thing you beautiful dude.
