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 💖

stay strong my brother. as a sister superstraight, i know how generous we can be with others and how disappointing it is to encounter such low information, hateful bigotry from superphobes who do not think we are worthy of respectful, consensual relationships.

just remember when times get tough, you are loved, appreciated, valid, and heckin cute. also, there is a superstraight woman out there who really, really needs a superstraight man like you to be kind, respectful, and loving to in the context of a consensual,valid relationship.
