One of my least favourite things that SJWs do (and its a long list) is defend the likes of people like Lena Dunham, who out others to their parents and act like they did the outed person a favour.
When I was eighteen years old, I had my first boyfriend. We told our friends and his parents, but our relationship was kept a secret from mine. My family are crazy religious and I knew they wouldn’t be happy if they found out that I’m gay. So me and my then boyfriend (let’s call him F) were pretty happy. We used to hang out together down a kind of parkland known locally as the Rec, where my parents never went. We thought we were safe there. We were wrong.
I don’t know to this day how my sister found out - whether she personally witnessed it or was told by a friend. But she just came out with it at dinner one night.
“Jack’s gay.”
Just like that. Everyone was in shock. Mum actually nearly choked. Dad, calm at first, asked me if it was true. My sister answered for me.
“It is true. F is his boyfriend. They’ve been together for months.”
I saw it slowly dawn on my dad. All the times F had been round our house, all the times he’d spent the night, or I’d spent the night at his place. He asked me again. I didn’t even bother to deny it, for fear my sister had some sort of proof. Dad got angry then. Slammed his hands down on the table, said he wouldn’t have a “fucking queer” in his house (side note: Also why I hate the word queer. According to SJWs that makes me an oppressive shitlord.) He demanded I “stop”.
I got a bit tearful. I said I couldn’t stop. It was the way I was, the way I’d always been. I couldn’t change that. I wanted to have some soap opera tv moment, some kind of miraculous realisation where my dad could say he disapproved of my lifestyle, but I was his only son, and he still loved me. But no. His exact words were;
“Then you’re going to have to go.”
I asked him where he expected me to go. He didn’t know and didn’t care. He just wanted me out of his house. I could have half an hour to get my shit packed, and then he wanted me gone. I turned to my mum, but she was just crying and repeating that she doesn’t have a son. My sister, through all of this, sat smugly smirking, proud of her revelation.
I went up to my room, packed up all the stuff that had any sentimental value to me. Before I left, I tried to hug my dad. He punched me in the face.
My first port of call was F, who, being three years my senior, had his own place and he did let me stay with him for a while. But my deteriorated mental state was too much for him to cope with. He referred me to social services and washed his hands of me.
The social were great. Got me placed with a foster family and attempted to contact my parents, offered them counselling. My parents refused and said they wanted nothing to do with me ever again.
This was four years ago. I have not spoken to my parents or my sister since. If I pass any of them in town, they ignore me. They ignore my calls and have me blocked on all social media. I went to the house once and my sister, upon answering the door, slapped me and told me if I came back again dad would kill me. I’ve had a couple of boyfriends, but am presently single. Apparently I have too much emotional baggage for most guys to handle. The holidays in particular are excruciating for me. Christmas is no fun at all when you’re alone.
Outing people is completely shitty, and anyone who defends this behaviour is a completely shitty person. I’ve recounted this story on my blog and been told via anonymous messages that I deserved it as a white cis man, now I know what lesbians feel like, and that I’m a misogynist for hating my sister after this. I also got several messages calling me a “gross fucking fag” and told I was an oppressive “queerphobic” shitlord for hating the word queer now.
These people really are the dregs of society.

Why do people never want to tell you their middle name like who gives a shit its not a nuclear launch code its your damn name
reblog with your middle name in the tags
Actually, the practice dates back to the reason we have middle names in the first place!
Some time around the dark ages, everyone believed in witchcraft and wizardry, like ya do. A big principle of magic was the idea of “true names.” If a spellcaster knew your full name, they could do whatever the hell they wanted to you. Of course, people didn’t want that, but there were enough people with the same first names that you had to give people your surname as well, to avoid confusion.
The solution? A secret name in the middle that you don’t tell anyone (unless you believe that they’re not able to do magic and/or you trust them enough that if they DID do magic, you’d be fine).
its unfathomable and disgusting to me how many of y'all are completely ignorant to what the BLM movement actually stands for. you’d rather believe they endorse the murder of all cops than hear the bottom line that is “stop killing us”
the movement isnt about murdering all cops for the offenses of a few. but when cops appropriate a victim complex where they instead want to believe we all want them dead and would prefer to defend the unjust actions of their own rather than own up and say “that situation could have been handled better” it does nothing but endorse that that person agreed with their actions.
when some cops can blatantly mistreat a black suspect, assault and kill them on camera and not face the consequences of those actions again and again. it only says that the government supports the mistreatment of black suspects. and the movement is fighting for that fair treatment. just as you preach you cant blame “all cops” for the gross actions of a few, you can’t blame the entire BLM movement for the actions of whoever took advantage of the protest to murder those cops.
however you all have the privilege of saying “not all cops” rather than denouncing the actions of the few who’ve fucked up. but you’re “not endorsing what they did.” while if we dont immediately say “those people had nothing to do with our movement and should be punished” we’re endorsing he murder of cops and the entire BLM movement suffers for it.
that double standard is something i can not stand.
