What is true is that if being called gay bothers you...you are likely gay....Insults only hurt when they're true..
If an insult hurts you...its because deep down you know its true.....
No it doesn't.
If an insult hurts you, it's because deep down, you believe it is a negative thing to be whatever you're being insulted as.
For instance, it exposes the target to a theoretical world in which they are gay - the target then immediately feels the hate they have for gay people on themselves - as well as the shame and other myriad negative emotions that they would feel if they were turned gay with a snap of a finger.
It's a weapon people use to fuck with people who put wayyyyy too much negative emotion into whether other people are gay.
If someone says I'm gay, I don't give a shit - not because it could be true (it isn't) - it's because if I was gay, I'd be fine with it.
An even better example is if someone in your life just starts accusing you of being a child molester. Now, given that is an almost universally hated thing to be, being accused of that would irritate you at the very least. Job done. Got a rise.
It's not real sentiment - it's just a way of making you feel bad
