    That the trauma inflicted on them drove them to be hateful, not the trauma inflected from being hateful.

    The hate as the result (as in, an unhealthy coping mechanism), not the cause.

      It seems like a difficult thing to do in practice. You wouldn’t know they had trauma until they started acting out their hate.

          But, how would you know to treat it before they acted out their hate? Are you saying we should have compassion after they acted out their homophobia?

              Absolutely. Is that what you’re saying you want? You’re being extremely dodgy about what you’re saying. I’m not trying to go after you or anything. I honestly don’t understand.
