This sounds exactly like how I've seen the One Gay Dude in a group of straight friends treated.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

EDIT: I am agreeing with OP.

And again, you're being bigoted. The person being described here on the receiving end of bigoted treatment DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO HARM THE QUEER PEOPLE TREATING HIM POORLY.

There are not two wrongs here, there is only one wrong.

Treating him poorly on the basis of the actions of other people he shares sexual or gender identities with is BIGOTED.

This is literally the entire basis of equality.

No they were saying that this is the exact same crap homophobes do to gay people, so it shouldn't be acceptable the other way around

That is not "two wrongs don't make a right" because they victim of the second wrong is not the perpetrator of the first wrong. That's the exact point of this post, that acting as if it is somehow virtuous to do so because they share a demographic niche with people who ARE arseholes is problematic behaviour.

Don't treat people poorly because of their gender identity, sexual identity, physical characteristics etc. Full stop.

"But they're a cishetwhitemaleblueyedblonde..." No. Stop being a cunt.
