You have a terrible understanding of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the distinction between Germans and Nazis. You are digging a deep hole of showing that you are a shit person with a victim complex

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but that dosent mean the opinion is right… maybe even talk to someone from the LGBT community and youll realise how ridiculous your views are. Just let people be lol they dont give a fuck about u, why do you care so much about them wearing a rainbow flag?? If it really offends you so much i advise you lock yourself indoors 24/7, cut off your internet and sit by yourself in a dark room as being gay or trans is not a choice it is simply how their brain developed. I wish you the best and hope you do some thinking to yourself about the reasoning behind your thoughts.

You are entitled to your opinion, and as a gay man I wish our society was more open to hearing the opinions of others without judgement (on any topic, including this one). I believe it’s better for people to have uncomfortable conversations with mutual respect rather than adopting an “us vs. them” mentality.
That being said, I encourage you to ask yourself why seeing people wearing pride flags makes you so angry. Generally, I find that when someone else’s behavior angers me, it’s usually because they are reminding me of something I don’t like within myself. It’s a projection. We are all mirrors for each other. I am not one of those people who think all people with homophobic thoughts are gay, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just encouraging you to ask yourself what specifically is bothering you about them. Perhaps there’s a part of you that is jealous of the confidence. Or perhaps what you seem to be perceiving as an annoying need for validation from these people is triggering memories of your own needs not being met as a kid. And so on. IDK. These are just the types of questions I ask myself when someone else’s behavior bothers me.
And I’m not saying your viewpoint has no validity at all. Sometimes I feel like the LGBT movement has turned into a parody of what it once was, and there’s a lot of judgement within the community as well. But I understand the history of oppression of LGBT people which led to the movement, and how our deteriorating ability as a society to try to find common ground has led to both LGBT supporters and opponents to dig in their heels.
The fact that you posted this shows that you’re trying to understand yourself and your actions in the context of the situation, and whether there is room to improve. Honestly I don’t think the teacher is being helpful by threatening to essentially punish or shame whoever wrote the thing. You should feel safe to speak your mind, and you should also be open to new perspectives.

Based on your update, I would say it's possible you have resentment that you're not able to be proud of your heritage, gender, or sexuality in a way that minorities are able to. Perhaps finding something you can be publicly proud of will relieve your irritation of others pride.

Bad timing after all these shootings at LGBTQ clubs

Tell her you miss wrote and fear the consequences. The teacher should understand and respect that. It's much better than to explain after getting caught

> I dont want to make any excuse and maybe it sounds stupid but I have no problem with gay or lesbian or trans people. I Just dont Like the people who are like "yea, Im gay/lesbian/trans and Its the best thing in the world and everyone should be like me and go around wearing LGBTQ flags".
Yeah, I get that. Its like the people who become vegan and start to judge everyone who isnt. And prepare for the hate, reddit is full of snowflakes.

I mean it’s just your opinion right. It’s not racist tho.

That's not racism, it's homophobia and/or transphobia.
I guess you're stupid as well as an asshole?
