I find it interesting, the amount of older folks on here who claim to be evolved due to extricating themselves from religion, while still adhering to structures of oppression....i.e. homophobia, racism, etc.
At least religious people have an excuse for their bigotry. What's yours?
My excuse for my own bigotry is that I do not suffer fools (translation: those who are willfully ignorant) gladly. I also have no time for homophobes, sexists, racists, ageists, xenophobes, narcissists and anybody else who regards themselves as superior to other people.
I block those folks as soon as their tiny little heads pop up.
There is certainly an element of condescension for ‘the other’ here from a certain contingent.
But that’s people I suppose. Feelings of insecurity regarding decisions made until formulation of a new identity is grounded.
Doesn’t justify but does explain
