Who cares

Hello guys,

I’m here to share something about Pride. As most of you know, I love the LGBTQ+ community — I’m also a BL writer. Recently, I attended the Chennai Pride 2025 march, and I met some of the most beautiful souls. Honestly, they were too beautiful to be real — so cool, so calm, so kind.

Walking alongside them made me wonder: Why am I straight when there are such stunning girls around me?

But even during that beautiful event, some roadside people were making nasty jokes and comments about us. They didn’t know who I was. They didn’t know my sexuality. Still, they made assumptions and mocked us, thinking we were lesbians. I ignored them — I don’t deal with that kind of crap, you know?

The way queer people dress, express themselves, and speak — it’s so graceful and confident. I really wanted to befriend someone from the community, but my introverted self held me back. Still, I went home that day with a full heart.

Later, I saw posts on Instagram about Pride. The videos were beautiful. But when I checked the comments... I was shocked. Furious. I couldn’t believe I live among people who think and speak this way.

The hateful comments were disgusting — to the point they made me feel nauseous.

Some said things like, “Don’t spread this disease,” or told them to “go see a doctor.” I won’t even repeat the rest. But what I will say is: they’re just jealous.

Jealous of people who are free enough to live their truth.

Jealous of people who love themselves.

Jealous because they could never.

About 60% of my friends don’t support queer people.

— Who cares?

Some straight guys in the comments were whining that “girls are turning lesbian” and “there’s no one left.”

— Who cares?

Let me tell you something:

If a girl is straight, that doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for you.

Bro, wake up. You’re not even on her radar.

It hurts to see such disgusting mindsets, especially among young people.

Queer people are kind. They’re gentle. And most importantly — they’re fighters.

So don’t hurt them. Don’t mock them. Don’t make them feel like they don’t belong.

Let people live. If it doesn’t concern you, stay out of it.

Handle your own damn mess before judging someone else’s happiness.

We get one life. Just one. If you're lucky enough to be alive, learn to love yourself and others.

Respect people. Respect their identities. Respect their choices.

If you ever think about throwing a hateful comment, ask yourself:

What if the person you're targeting is someone who’s already been kicked out by their family?

What if they’re just surviving?

Would you still stab their heart with your words?

Be human. And if you can’t, at least pretend.

If you hate something, keep it to yourself. No one’s asking for your rotten opinion.

Everyone is unique.

"What you judge as ‘wrong’ could be the only path someone had to walk just to stay alive."

In the end, I hope this story, this post, this voice of mine — changes even one person’s heart.

Just one hateful commenter.

That’s enough for me.
