/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

My mother in law has no problem with M/M but complains about lesbians (says it's disgusting) - I then assumed homophobes are bothered more about gays of their own gender in general.
That's fair, most people who are loudly anti-gay tend to be male. Mostly because the "loudly anti-gay" group tends to overlap significantly with the "anti-women- group.
A lot.of anti-gay males are afraid of being treated the way the cis guys treat women as just a sexual object.
I also see a lot of anti-lesbian stuff from women. Tbh, I see more of it in my own personal life than I do anti-gay men, but that's just my experience, I don't know if that's also the reality (I imagine it varies by area/culture too).
And yeah I agree with your theory that people seem more bothered about same-sex relations for their own sex.
I'm curious. What area / culture are you in?
I live in a relatively impoverished area in the north east of England, although I'm originally from India
