50 Times Homophobes Spread Their Hate Online And Were Shut Down By These Epic Comebacks (New Pics)
You’d think that in the 21st century we’d all have a bit more love and affection for our fellow human beings despite the small differences between us. However, the fight for a more caring, understanding, and tolerant society is a long one and it will continue to be an uphill struggle. But instead of giving up, we should feel inspired that things are slowly getting better for everyone.
All it takes is a decent scroll through the internet to discover just much homophobia and ill intent is still lurking there. However, the net isn’t just full of doom and gloom! Some folks have taken it upon themselves to call homophobes out with humor, roasts, and comebacks so hot, you might need to call the fire department.
Bored Panda has collected some of the best comebacks that support the LGBTQ+ community to inspire you to stand up for what's right, so have a read. Upvote the ones that you think are worth a gold star and let us know about the times that you’ve called out blatant hate and ignorance online, dear Pandas. When you're done reading the article, be sure to check out our earlier post about the best comebacks to homophobic remarks right over here.
Bored Panda spoke about the reasons for homophobia with psychotherapist Silva Neves. According to him, homophobia is learned and usually becomes enrooted as a result of their upbringing. “If people grew up with homophobic parents and they haven't been exposed to different opinions, they are more likely to be homophobic themselves,” Silva explained to us. You’ll find the rest of our in-depth interview with the expert below.

Psychotherapist Silva pointed out that those growing up in religious households are more likely to be homophobes. “Most religions promote the inaccurate idea that same-sex relationships and sexual behaviors are unnatural, wrong, against their God, and a sin.”
He noted that this isn’t confined to a single religion but is more widespread. “Even recently, the Pope declared that same-sex marriages were not endorsed by the Church. Islam is also very homophobic. Most Islamic countries have anti-gay laws with punishment ranging from imprisonment to the death penalty. Many people in the UK growing up in such households are more likely to be homophobic. “

Does This Count? Regarding Privileges
I've never heard of gay people being called privileged for anything. Moreover, the fact that NOBODY questioned why it's perfectly okay for a democratic country to VOTE on the RIGHT of others to have the same rights as them displays the complete and utter ignorance of all those countries that voted. Why should anyone have the right to vote on whether others get the same rights? It should have just been granted by governments, never put to a vote.
Oh this is an excellent comment. Why should anyone even pay taxes in this country if they are not treated equally? That is total bullshit.

That's one reason my family recently left our church. They were very homophobic, racist, sexist, and more. We put up with it for a while because we had good friends there, but how badly they dealt with the pandemic was a complete deal breaker
Churches don't need to pay taxes case those are donations. Do you get taxed if you donate things? Same thing....think before writing something that will make it show your level of intelligence
Churches are not taxed because of the first amendment, the separation of church and state. Donations are sometimes taxed and sometimes not, based on a wide variety of rules, and more often then not a church would have to pay taxes based on those rules if not for the first amendment.

There is a myth that in the United States, churches don't pay taxes because of the freedom of religion. Actually, churches pay no more and no fewer taxes than any non-profit organization pays, which does amount to fewer taxes than for-profit organizations pay. And no, being non-profit does not mean it doesn't pay its employees.
as a Christian, churches should not be exempt from taxation
On a religious level I disagree with gay marriage as a religious rite, but I agree people of consenting age should be able to form whatever family contracts they please (this includes the polygamists) and have them recognized legally
Churches don’t pay taxes?! So that’s why I saw a post about rich American churches in fancy footwear? I thought they were rich because lots of people gave them money, not because they were tax dodgers!
They sure AF don't and it makes no sense. I think the original idea behind giving churches tax exempt status was because they provided services to their communities that otherwise would have been paid for by tax payer money. Thing such as providing food and shelter for the homeless. I can't remember ever seeing a church where I live that provided any community services so I can't wrap my head around why they are not held to the same standards as any other business

Churches don't pay taxes because much of the money they get goes to charities.
No Jim, you’re wrong. Molesting little boys or anyone is called being a sex offender, or in this case a sexual predator.. Being gay is not either.

Judging from your repulsive post history, you aren’t friends with logic and truth, so I’ll share this with everyone else. Number of religious nonprofits in the US alone - 300,000+, with total assets of 134 billion. LGBT+ rights nonprofits - a whopping 894, with total assets of 519 million. So yeah, we queers aren’t even remotely close to the tax exempt scam religion exemplifies.

What’s more, homophobic beliefs can be a way for young people to be seen as part of the ‘in’ crowd. “Teenagers can be homophobic as a way to conform to heterosexuality and be more accepted by their peers,” Silva told Bored Panda.
According to the psychotherapist, another reason why homophobia manifests is when people have same-sex attractions that they’re trying to deny and repress. “In being homophobic they attempt to repress their own feelings by fighting against the source of their arousal: the LGBTQ people. It is quite a common story that Priests who promote 'conversion therapy' are caught on Grindr trying to have sex with other men,” he gave an example of how this can manifest in reality.

It's Never Just About A Cake
That's About As Devastating A Response As They Come
Pride Month might be over this year, but it doesn’t mean that LGBTQ+ issues suddenly go away or that every challenge magically disappears (some companies rushing to switch back to their non-rainbow-colored profile photos should give you an indication of this).
In a previous interview, I spoke about LGBTQ+ issues with ‘Stonewall,’ a UK-based organization that aims to create a world where all members of the LGBTQ+ community are free to be themselves and live their lives to the fullest.
Robbie de Santos, the Director of Communications and External Affairs at ‘Stonewall,’ told Bored Panda earlier that Pride Month is an annual way for everyone all over the world to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.

“Pride is an opportunity for all of us to come together in celebration, protest, and solidarity with lesbian, gay, bi, and trans communities all over the world,” de Santos said previously.
“All lesbian, gay, bi, trans, and queer people should be able to thrive as themselves, but in 2021, LGBTQ+ people are still being held back because of who we are,” de Santos noted that despite all the progress, there’s much work to be done.
“For some LGBTQ+ people, these harms are particularly acute, and we need to stand together against all discrimination that holds our communities back, from racism to ableism, misogyny to classism,” de Santos explained.

According to de Santos, Pride Month is important because it allows everyone to “come together” in their communities, schools, workplaces, online, and on the streets to celebrate who we are. What’s more, it’s a way to continue the fight for “freedom, equity, and potential” for all of us.
“At Stonewall, we’ll continue to fight until every lesbian, gay, bi, trans, and queer person is free to be themselves, wherever they are,” he added. Taking into account just how many people are willing to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights and put an end to hatred should be something that motivates you, dear Pandas. The world is brighter and more full of love than we care to remember on some days.

But.... If u put every gay person on an island, does this include bi people? Cause... He didn't say "if u put all the gay men on an island...".... He said "gay people"... Lesbians are gay people too... So u would have an island of men and women... And if u have bi people as well, I am certain there will be some generations that follow... No?

The most Disney let him get away with was putting Mabel in a rainbow sweater. Don't quote me on this, I can't remember where I got the information.

Over the last few decades, I have lost count of the number of times a male who professes homophobia turns out to be gay and just fighting it. The more I look, the more I find this to be true. There is research to support this.
That's kind of the thing: the only reason why someone cares about something like homosexuality is because it relates to them on a personal level. A full-on heterosexual gives about as much thought to homosexuality as they do to what it would be like to be a lamp post: not at all unless it's brought up, and then a quick "Who cares?" response as they go on with their day-to-day life because it's something they can't relate to and has no impact on how they live their lives. The default response is apathy, not fear and hate.

Homophobes suck. I'm not even part of the LGBTQ community and I wish to wipe all homophobes off the face of the Earth
I wish I was this good at taking down peoples homophobic comments. One of my neighbours, who I only know to say hello to said to my other neighbour who I do know that flamboyant gay men “turn their stomach” my other neighbour said oh yeah me too, it’s a bit much and I just gave them a puzzled disgusted look which I doubt they noticed and said nothing! I couldn’t think of anything to say and am kicking myself. Maybe something like, why? Does it affect you?
I know what you mean. You wish you had the perfect response at that moment, but the thing is it rarely happens. When they respond on the internet, they have time to think about it. The main thing is you disagreed with your neighbours opinion. Sometimes, it's easier to fit in, but you didn't. Good for you.

Looking back over the years it is amazing how far we have come, each generation is becoming more enlightened. We still have a long way to go and I unfortunately know I will not see in my lifetime true equality, but at least I know we are heading down the right path towards acceptance.
If religion is root cause of racism/bigotry/homophobia/wars...I don't need it. I don't need an entire book that hasn't been updated in centuries. "Just don't be an asshole to others". That's it. No 4 Gospels. No Book of Genesis. Just a T-shirt with that phrase on it. Wear it, frame it and place it on your fireplace, I don't care. As times change, so do the rules. If seeing gay people, paraphernalia is "tempting" you or your loved ones to be gay...Guess what? You have zero willpower. That, and you're denying who you really are anyway. You're more likely to die from diabetes because of overeating and high blood pressure than you will be for loving someone the same sex.
i really think that the US need a free healthcare. because some of the s.. (no bashing, or offense intended) we see there are clearly psy issues. in France when we see we start to fork, we go consult. everything is free of charge. if you let the psy disease uncured, then it worsens
I'm gonna sense check that and suggest that the religions themselves are perhaps not so much the issue, but rather those that abuse them. And as an atheist, I hold Christianity up there as having been used to do just as much, if not more damage than any of the others over the centuries. Religion has caused more divide, misunderstanding, intolerance, bigotry, hatred, war and death than any other social construct.
