Selective Homophobia

1) Being supportive of the LGBTQ+ people you know, while being discriminatory towards the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.
2) Thinking the LGBTQ+ people you know are some how outliers of the LGBTQ+ community.
3) When LGBTQ+ people you know don't fit your prejudice stereotypes. Thus causing cognitive dissonance that is cured by believing the person you know is somehow different from other LGBTQ+ people.

Me: You are using selective homophobia to justify your overall homophobic ideals inorder to attempt to be friends with me.

Karen: My daughter is queer, I love and support her!
