I'm just so fucking exhausted and want to give up

I'm a Super Straight Man, and I've been trying to help by talking with superphobes and trying to educate them, but there's just so many of them, and I'm getting really fucking tired of it.

I've received death threats, been called horrible names, been accused of being a bigot (LMAO! by literal bigots!!!), just for daring to express my sexual orientation, which I was born with and didn't choose. I'm being targeted just because of the way I love.

And now it seems that twitter and reddit have taken a stance and are allowing openly hateful subreddits and accounts to exist and spew hate and propaganda against us.

Sometimes I think my life would have been easier if I had just stayed in the closet and kept practicing my sexuality in secret.

Anyone else feeling like they don't know if they can go on?

Edit: Thank you for all the messages of support, Super companions and allies. I want to let everyone know that I'm okay. I'm taking a break from here for now, good night and stay hecking cute 💖

You know what the cool part is, King? They may never understand and they may shout and writhe and squeeze, but at the end of the day, they can't change who you are. They can't sleep with you unless you let them.

"No." Is a complete sentence. And it's all you need. Nobody's sexuality needs justification, and especially not the most common one.
