In reality, I don't think there's anything homophobic in what you've said... but that's not the point. The point is that you're pushing for a process of societal systemic change in which the accusal of X directly infers guilt without recourse.

You write social commentary pieces in which you state that privileged white people, usually males engage in sexual misconduct or discriminatory practice - but their guilt is asserted on the basis of your opinion and usually selected sources. These sources are often skewed by confirmation bias and fueled by echo chamber agreement in your core audience.

I would encourage people to read your very well written article on Justin Bieber for an example of this in action. Pushing for society to move in this direction comes at a cost. History is littered with people who believed that they were 'on the side of good' only to realise the full implications of the process they set in motion too late to stop it.

For the record, I don't think you're homophobic.... but your defence of 'I've only written one piece about LGBTQ+' (you missed the +) won't save you in a dystopian future where assertion of guilt is trial, jury and justice in one fluid movement. You would be labelled a homophobe and you would suffer the full effects of what that means.
