Simplified Meaning:

The person in the quote is saying that they are straight, but they almost wish they were gay to annoy people who dislike or are afraid of homosexuals. They are showing support for the LGBT community and making a point about standing up against prejudice and hate. It’s like when someone stands up for a friend who is being bullied, even if they aren’t in the same situation, just because it’s the right thing to do. Imagine a kid at school who sees their friend getting picked on for wearing glasses. The kid might say, "I don’t wear glasses, but I wish I did just to make the bullies angry." This kid doesn’t need glasses, but they hate how their friend is treated and want to show that being different is okay. In our daily lives, we can use this idea by standing with people who are facing prejudice or discrimination. Whether it’s supporting a friend who is different or speaking out against unfair treatment, we can show that we don’t tolerate hate. By doing this, we create a kinder and more accepting world.
