" "I support homosexuality" :D "
“Why on earth do people come out with trite crap like that?
It may have good intentions behind it, but really if you think about it it’s patronizing as hell and completely pointless.
Do gay or bi people walk up to straight people and say “I’m not straight myself, but I support straight people!” 
No.
Because it’s a sexuality. It doesn’t need your support.
It just is.
It’s pretty much someone saying “I approve of your sexuality”
I don’t need your approval! Fuck off!
It’s almost as pointless as people saying
“Aww, you’re gay! I love gay people!” or “Gay boys are cute”
Bollocks.
You can’t love “gay people”, there are too many of them and not enough time.
Gay boys are just boys who are gay. They are not cute. They are individuals. Some are quite hideous and make small babies cry.
Just because they like the cock doesn’t automatically make them cute!
…unless you’re also gay very drunk and very horny and the lights are quite dim.
Anyhow. I was going somewhere with this.
Yes.
If I walked up to a group of black people and said
“Aww! You’re black! I support black people”
I’d probably get a free ride in an ambulance.
If you honestly don’t have a problem with people who have different sexualities to your own, then treat them ‘normally’.
Don’t patronize them or make them feel like they should be grateful that you accept or approve of them. They don’t need your approval.
It’s a sexuality, not a show dog.”
A gay man on a forum I regularly visit wrote the above as a response to seeing a topic somewhere else with the title “I support homosexuality”
Inside the topic, everyone was praising the original poster for their views.
There are bits I wouldn’t say myself. I wouldn’t make the comparison between the treatment of heterosexuality and the treatment of homosexuality because one of them is a privileged group and the other isn’t, but the point still stands. People in oppressed groups don’t need strange useless seeming people making them feel awkward.
They’re still people, so treat them like you would anyone else.
I would have left out the analogy between being gay, and being black. For one thing, comparing oppressions isn’t cool and for another it suggests to me that black = violent.
I thought I’d post it here anyway in an unaltered form, to get it a bit of a larger readership. Only like 10 people go to the forum it was posted in. The username of the guy who write it is ‘Ebil” N’he gave me permission to reproduce it.
