      I'm just saying it's surprising for them to go after people breaking out of traditional gender roles considering their seemingly more relaxed on approach sexuality.

          like i honestly cant think of a single effeminate or homosexual man in media thats working class other than moonlight

          Ozark season 1 featured a "trailer park uncle" who was seduced and turned informant by a male psychopathic FBI agent

          Randy and Jim Lahey on Trailer Park Boys too.

          I'm sure there are others but I get the sentiment.

          If someone bullies a straight guy because he "looks gay," that's still homophobic, wouldn't you say?

              This is just pointless hair-splitting and frankly pretty frustrating. If you wanna argue that "technically it's misogyny and not homophobia" for whatever reason, then fine, whatever, it is, without any question, queerphobic and I'd say transphobic as well, and even if it wasn't and it was "just" misogynistic that's still fucking bad.

                      Again, LGBT rights are not just about sexuality but also include presentation. I'm not interested in splitting hairs about who's being discriminated against, because these issues are interconnected, and an affront to one part of the group is an affront to the whole group. I'm not gonna drop the T from LGBT, nor the implied Q. And I'm don't really give a fuck if you think that saying men should be able to present how they want is Western chauvinism or whatever.
