Homophobia/Transphobia in popular ML creators
Adding to this because of recent changes.
@/oriollie
-spreads transphobic rhetoric
-compared racist surgeries people get to “identify” as a different race to transgender individuals getting gender confirmation surgeries
*not homophobia/transphobia, but @/oriollie has also used the r slur and has expressed incredibly islamophobic views
@/carpisuns (@/chatnoirinette)
-values same sex relationships less than heterosexual relationships
-believes people can just “not act” on same sex attraction
-sees same sex relationships as against God
@/nattikay
-believes marriage is for God and for having children and that same sex marriage devalues that and is sinful
-sees same sex marriage as only for pleasure and “misusing” sexuality
@/qookyquiche (@/quiche-draws)
- does not want people to embrace and be proud of their sexualities, does not support same sex marriage
-believes churches that celebrate pride are morally wrong
-was happy to "open the eyes” of a bisexual trans person to her anti-lgbt bigotry and encouraged them to go back in the closet to be closer to God
These individuals receive thousands of notes on their artwork, have thousands of followers on multiple platforms, and this only increases how much hate and bigotry they can spread. It’s time we start valuing the queer community and stop supporting those who thrive on harming them
