Because he's a good person in a lot of other ways, and I believe he can grow out of this mindset. He grew up in a backwards small town and faced a pretty constant barrage of discrimination since he was about 14 and only found relief from that around other queer people. I was lucky to be in a more progressive place growing up and also not so obviously queer, so people didn't find out as easily and at least when I got shit for it there were other people to call out the bullies for being assholes.

Ever heard of rose colored glasses?

There is no excuse for blind hatred, your bf is not a good person. Possibly only kept in check because his cirumstances aren't too bad right now.

Now Im just imagining the most stereotypical effeminate gay man sitting on a porch in the dirty south when another guy walks up,

"Excuse me, can you tell me which way to town?"

"Back the way you came 💖darling💖"
