the fear of one's own privilege
Location
let's talk about the word
homophobia
for a moment.
straight people-
why are you scared of gay people?
do you fear the fact that
at any given moment
you hold systematic privilege over them?
an advantage
almost quite a right
to deny?
excuse?
exclude?
a person from being a human!
and they can't bite back
because of who you love, how you love
so how is it
that you've come to fear
the privilege you've always had?
