Homophobia is still well and alive amongst our society. Why it shouldn't be there are just too many reasons, which we are not going to explore this time. And while the internet can provide a platform to connect us, educate us, and mobilize us, it can also give people the opportunity to spread hateful views. Currently, there are 26 countries around the world that legally recognize same-sex marriage, and not everyone is happy about LGBT becoming a norm.

All across Twitter, Facebook, and even in text messages to family members, people have taken it upon themselves to profess their homophobic views. You can clearly see from these hateful texts, that broader vision and education is what these people need. Well, you can fight fire with fire, or you can take another route. Below is a list from Bored Panda of people who had some pretty hilarious and perfect responses to homophobic comments (I think it's safe to say that George Takei has the best comebacks ever). Scroll down below for all the snapbacks from the fabulous LGBT community!

Boring legal details: in the US, marriage is a secular matter. A marriage license is filed with the state in which the marriage occurred. The person who signs the marriage license must be recognized by the state as authorized to do so. That person might be a judge, a magistrate, or a religious cleric. Legalizing gay marriage only means that two persons of the same gender may be married by a person authorized by the state to do so, the state will recognize that union as valid. At no point are religious institutions informed by the US government that they must perform gay marriages, approve of gay marriages, or recognize gay marriages. If you don't approve of gay marriage, then don't get gay married!

This joke only refers to UK political issues. It is joking about the fact that there are a lot of people who currently loathe the UK Conservative party policies so much that admitting you voted tory at the last election could possibly be social death. Saying you are gay would not be. It isn't a serious point. Just explaining

The US equivalent would be admitting that you voted Trump (although that is definitely worse).

"conservative" does not mean bigoted or homophobic. Many conservatives are but there are also racist liberals. Conservative often refers to how you think the government should spend money or foreign policy.

If only "conservative" in the USA still just meant that. Ever since the mainstream Republican Party started pandering to religious evangelical Christian kooks with Jesus talk & bigotry which strongly influence foreign policy, rather than just sticking to sound foreign policy principles and economic conservatism, it seems like social issues such as abortion, denial of LGBT rights, and xenophobia have taken the forefront of the agenda. While I'm firmly on the left for these social issues, I'm reasonably right of center on economic and foreign policy. I feel like a political orphan, voting for the lesser of two evils, which will always be on the side of social issues, since we can never allow citizens' basic rights, or human rights in general, to be subject to a vote.

Side note, check out Wikipedia's page of "List of LGBT members of the United States Congress" and note the number that are republican AKA Conservative.

The commenter gives gay people a bad name. There is nothing wrong with being conservative. You can't choose to allow one group to live their life but not another...

Tom Newton Dunn is the Political Editor of the English Newspaper The Sun. He isn't talking about being conservative and or gay. The comment refers to the UK Conservative party and its leader Theresa May and the god-awful mess they are making right now. Though the Labour Party doesn't seem to be in any better shape with the accusations of anti-semitism that are still lurking about. Tom is saying, basically, that to admit to being a Conservative is currently very embarrassing.

This is not about the way you rise your kids. Or I wouldn't be bi while my sisters are straight. And it's not about the people you meet or the fact that you see LGBT on tv shows! I grew up in a time LGBT representation was non existent or wrong, and I didn't know anyone that was openly LGBT. Nothing "turn you gay", or straight BTW. The only thing it should be about, is about loving yourr kids, caring for them and show them they can trust in your love.

I will never understand why someone feels like it their job to decided how God feels. I dont care what the bible says. The God i worship loves everyone and wants you to treat everyone with kindness. Maybe i misinterpret it wrong but i know i feel better living this way.

I find it strange that people say having two dads or two mums is wrong. My parents are divorced so I have two dads and two mums. I don't consider them 'step' parents because they raised me as much as my birth parents. I have always told people I have two of each, it's a fact I am really proud of.

And let's not forget all the gay kids who grow up seeing only heterosexuality.. We're still gay. Seeing only straight people represented didn't turn us straight. And it would be awful nice for all kids to feel valid and supported, don't you think?
