Especially with the screaming kids in the window lol

Homophobes more likely to not murder straight people, for one, so I still think you’ll be more convincing. Gay people are automatically put at risk for bias, discrimination, or violence when interacting with homophobes, so this mindset wherein straights encourage us to interact or come out to them is dangerous. It also passes off the responsibility to be better from the homophobes themselves (ie ‘they’re old minded’), onto gay people to be ‘good enough’ to change their minds (ie ‘maybe this is what they need to be accepting’). The realities of hatred and acceptance are MUCH more complicated than that, and encouraging gay people to potentially put themselves at risk without knowing other factors is dangerous.
Just don’t do it dude
