Stop using someone’s upbringing as a crutch for their shitty views when they are a whole ass adult person. I don’t care if they grew up “during that time period,” if they came from a town of 6 ppl, it’s in their religion, ect.

I don’t have that kind of time or luxury.
I hate that I’m expected to not only deal with discrimination, but fight against it, educate folks, AND be considerate of your bigoted grandma or foolish pop star or whatever cuz “that’s the upbringing they had.”

So 👏🏾 fucking 👏🏾 what 👏🏾

They are ADULTS who have time to LEARN.
My upbringing was talks with my mama and trying to wrap my Black kid brain around being hated for shit I can’t control. It was coming out as queer when I was 18 and PANICKING cuz folks don’t like “the gays.”

Stop trying to value bigoted upbringings. Start caring about ours.
And I’d point out who this is a dig against but honestly take your pick, there’s a lot of folks this applies to, both popular and not, and I’m tired of y’all trying to find reasons to justify they’re behavior like they aren’t adults with mortgages, careers, and responsibilities.
