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

    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.

    Way to go. Also, most people don’t even realize that the population of under 20 LGBTyouths are at extremely high risk for being homeless, if not already, and killed or murdered because of their sexuality. Shame on these parents for tossing their children out in to the world to be tortured for how they love someone! But.. I’m quite positive if the world were to toss them out of their own homes for being Christian, like what happens in other countries, they would feel betrayed.... hmmmm... betrayal. Against your own children, flesh of your flesh... blood of your blood. I think you parents with gay kids need to rethink, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO...

    Look at all this ingrained misogyny. What clue is there that this was written by the mother? Why does everyone, including other women & moms that know the struggle of always having to take the blame for practically everything involving a child's life and a man's life always assume it's the mother? What mother actually FORGETS that a child came out of her? It's typically fathers that forget. I have known plenty of men that forget. But, moms.. We remember it all, the day our children were born & what time, how much they weighed, the circumference of their heads. I seriously doubt this came from the mother. Only a man can feel betrayed by his son for being gay, because of how they view their sons as an extension of themselves rather than an individual. Mom's typically don't feel betrayed by their sons for being gay, as women don't see their sons in the same way that fathers do.

    I'm not saying that every mother accepts their child being part of the LBGTQ+ community, because there are plenty of women who are just as ignorant, but the difference is that women are not upset for the same reason a father is. A homophobic mother is more likely to feel betrayed by a daughter that comes out than a son. It's just how we've been "trained" to think as a society. Many fathers see their sons as heirs to carry on their name (it all comes from ego) and many mothers see their daughters as the giver of grandchildren. It's strange how we put these expectations and demands on our children like they don't have goals, aspirations, or minds of their own. Kids don't exist for their parents to live vicariously through them. They're their own people.
