I should have stayed home with my cats and ordered take-out. The gays are just as transphobic as anyone else. Fuck people. I opened myself up and I'm mad I did.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Something I wish people would bear in mind when it comes to LGBT people... we're just people. So by that metric, some of us are lovely, some of us are depressed, some of us are angry, and some of us are shitty.

We're not shiny magical rainbow people, just humans with the same flaws as everyone else. You'd think someone who had suffered hatred & persecution would not inflict it onto someone else... but sadly, some people are just shitty. You had an interaction with an exceedingly shitty human being who happened to also be LGBT. Please try not to let it influence you, or prevent you from meeting awesome people at future events!

You are loved and respected from this man. No questions ever.

I stay far away from lgbt spaces irl for this exact reason. I've been treated worse by lesbian communities than anywhere else.

Ayyy that person can go eat hog turds alone in a field

You're worthy of respect and as real a woman as anyone alive. Sorry for the shitty Pride experience. There are Pride events that aren't like that, I swear. My local Boston Block Party is mostly weed stores and a killer drag show. Wishing you happier Prides and reciprocated trust in the near future.

I'm so sorry you experience things like this. It's so unfair.
