    That’s tacit complicity. By not confronting the problem, you’re saying you’re okay with the behavior.

    ”If I were to remain silent, I’d be guilty of complicity.”

      No it’s more like not throwing shade on people who haven’t thrown shade.

      If you just walk up to someone assuming their straight and give them shit for it you’re just as bad as a straight person doing the same to someone who’s gay.

      Now if they were already giving a gay person shit by all means go off. The problem is people act on their emotions before figuring out the full scenario in front of them.

      In general people need to stop acting on emotional impulse and wait till they actually know what’s going on

        As a socialist and anti-capitalist, people who wear clothing with brands on them offend me. They are throwing shade just by wearing branded clothes. Capitalism doesn’t care because that’s the consensus reality we’ve accepted. In the same way, if this t-shirt offends someone, that’s their problem. Homophobia and discrimination should have no place in our consensus reality. To cater to the emotions of those offended is to concede acceptance of their consensus. Also, I don’t think the t-shirt is and indictment of straight people, but more of religion.
