It’s pretty amazing that in this day and age, people can be so incredibly ignorant. But this is the time we live in, and those kinds of views are only exacerbated by social media. People suddenly get very brave and outspoken when they’re sitting behind a keyboard, don’t they?
But, on the flip side, people who are fighting for equality have a voice, too. And that voice can be as loud as they want it to be.
Take a look at these clever, and appropriate, clapbacks to homophobic behavior online.
1. Boom!

12. Awful
Being sexually assaulted makes me gay? Or in your own words, a “faggot”?(reprehensible term)
Molesters use this same logic on their female or child victims, calling them “bitches” or “hoes” who asked 4 it.
This mindset has gone unchallenged by the Black community for 2 long. https://t.co/TJxITQ2alJ
