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

    That's the tragedy of this person's (and many others') attitude to accepting gay people. They seem to think that if they accept the fact some people are gay (or even just condone it) that suddenly more and more people will be gay. It's almost like they need someone to sit down and explain it to them. And ask them what they're so damn afraid of.

    Uhm your gear still works fine if you're team homo. The best bit about being gay is we don't "accidental" a pregnancy terribly often. Not a whole lot of unwanted babies roaming around the LGBT+ communities. Whatever we may screw up in the parent department the kid was almost certainly wanted. My gay self knows very very very very very very well genetics ain't got s**t on love. I'm not genetically linked to my nephews for example. This had done nothing to full my pride, devotion or loyalty to them. This will not help you in the slightest should you try and harm or damage them in some way. I will rip your face of

    *off just as quickly and savagely as a flesh and blood relative. Probably faster actually. Their mothers know full well I'll die for the Princes and will be shuttling the boys to safety. Chosen family has its own strength. There's a pride, devotion and loyalty that comes from choice that you don't always get from assignment. We weren't placed together, we forged our bond and built our foundation. They know I'm not there for obligation or duty. I choose them. Every time, every way, every day. Who they are, not who they were born to.

    The interesting part is that men are no longer needed for children. Ovum fertilization allows two eggs to be joined to create an embryo that can be implanted. Be a planet of all women then but I think I'm okay with that. All the remaining men can live on that island they were going to send all the gay men to, probably a tropical paradise with great fashion design and the best tapas by now and all the straight women can go there if they want a little boy or sex with a man with all the strings of male hormone cycles (check out Popular Science's web site for their story about male PMS if you doubt me).

    Aren't they fed up with this silly argument? I almost prefer the openly religious arguments to these pseudo_scientific ones. Why whould we have to be all homosexuals or none at all? If you insist on peocreation point, well, considering we suffer if overpopulating , a higher pourcentage of gay population would save our planet, if it means reducing our natality rates.

    You don't need to marry a man to have a baby, all you need is semen, and a womb, which is sometimes just sitting around in a test tube thingy. What is nice for children to have though, is parents that love each other. If some of those parents need the same gender to love each other, sure, just try to raise your kid in a home that's happy. I won't say happiness is a requirement for survival, but it helps.

    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.

    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?
