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!

I will say though that she did just randomly put it out there, which was obviously to get more attention. There’s no way that was what she thought in the beginning. I’m gay, so it’s not that I have a problem with a character being gay. The more, the merrier. I just don’t like people suddenly using it as a way to get more attention/money. If anything, there could’ve just been a gay character put into Fantastic Beasts instead. I get Ana’s comment. She’s just saying it came out of nowhere and he most likely wasn’t gay in the beginning. My problem is that she’s extremely inconsistent.

I mean, I really don’t like jk Rowling, she is transphobic. She used her huge, powerful voice to discriminate against others. As a transgender person who loves the magic of Harry Potter, she has truly disappointed me.

Correct, but Grindelwald turning dark plus the incident Dumbledore's little sister ended that. There is no indication I have seen from J K Rowling that he ever developed another love interest.

While I think J.K. needs to just let her book be, there is nothing to indicate Dumbledore's sexuality one way or another. So I'm not sure why is so hard to accept.

I have nothing against dumbledore being gay but u could of picked anybody else it just confuses me why u would pick the one man that spends a lot of his time thinking about Harry but don't get me wrong I think that all marriages should be allowed and I encourage people to be who they are no matter what sexuality, race, or religion they are

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

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 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.
