I see this trending and, nope, can't click on this again.
I cannot get embroiled in "debates" with children - at least mentally - struggling with their own insecurities who, as a result, still view homosexuality as a perversion.
It's fucking exhausting just existing sometimes.

I'm not a big flag-waver. I've known I was gay since I was 8 or 9. I've never struggled with it - I've never questioned it, I've never wanted to change it, it's not something that's on my mind.
But when I see people saying stupid stuff, I will stand up for my LGBTQ family.

These kids saying stupid stuff - it doesn't bother me on a personal level. I know they're talking arse and I know their views have no basis.
What bothers me is that others listen to these randoms, so when I see someone talking crap, I will challenge them.
But it's exhausting.

It's very very rare you'll change someone's mind over Twitter - it isn't the right platform for that. But I cannot, stop myself from challenging people pushing out pure poison.
That's not what this Twitter account is about, but how can you go on if you don't call a twat a twat?

The point of this stream of consciousness: If you see someone in a minority being attacked online, or you just see someone saying something ignorant, please challenge it.
Most of you do, but I can't explain how personal things get when you're in the minority you're defending.

Please just don't scroll past when people are tweeting hate. Get involved. Tell them it's not okay.
