as a gay man, can i just say something.
i have never actually met anyone in real life, through university or work or social life, who actively worries about pronouns or gender roles or the amount of genders. on the few occasions i've heard of interactions through friends, the person spouting is (a) a child or (b) is blissfully out of touch with reality.
ontop of the gay community being toxic in general, the LGBT community literally has far too much irrelevant stuff going on to actually organise and have real change. im gay and couldn't give two flying ducks about how you identify, it's your life. but what i do take real issue is the hijacking of the LGBT agenda.
there's like 70 countries where being gay is f*cking illegal and i could be stoned to death in 12 of them. but you want to use your privilege as a western gay/whatever to moan about pronouns, identity, roles and flags? f*ck me and call me david.
and i've been waiting to say this to someone in real life but genuinely cannot find anyone in the LGBT community who really believe this.
use our shared gayism to campaign and protest what is happening in places like poland, like damn. it's embarrassing.
Based.
Gay retard from UK here btw, if we want people to accept us and consider us equal to straight folk let’s stop hosting gay pride parades where you’ll find men that run around half naked or in BDSM outfits kissing and fisting eachother down the streets of London with kids watching cheering them on, y’know, the sort of shit that shows us as completely unequal to the average decent, mentally sound human being and probably incites more homophobia from the on-the-fence spectator going ‘what the fuck are they doing’.
Feels like being gay got hijacked by a bunch of really horny men who have 10 different sexual partners a month who try to speak on our behalf about what being gay is about, the kind who make it their whole personality. You get the people that call themselves ‘gay’ because they have sex with a new man once a week who are hyper dramatic and infuriating, and those who just want to settle down and have a normal relationship and lifestyle with their partner, who just happens to be a dude. Pride feels less about pushing acceptance and equality between straight - gay and more about distancing us from the average straight man entirely.
Your typical Middle Eastern country not approving of being gay isn’t gonna be more accepting of a bunch of really obnoxious, promiscuous lobotomites, but could probably view a completely normal, hardworking Joe trying to just settle down with a similar minded husband and start a family by adopting or otherwise in a much better light.
It’s just sad to see being ‘gay’ is now more about having sex with a man and being a fairy rather than enjoying a fulfilling relationship with someone of the same sex.
Just wanna settle down with some cute twink and have a family and grow old, why do I have to get grouped up with this LGBT banner over my head that just seems to embarrass me even more. Can’t tell anyone I’m gay without them feeling like they’ve got to be super politically correct, deadpan serious and go all hush hush on the gay jokes because the folk that speak on my behalf in the media paint us all as sensitive to that kind of humour lol.
It’s cool how I didn’t mind telling people I was gay until you had this wave of ‘tolerance’ hit the media, same people fighting for the acceptance of homos continue to embarrass them and leave a lot of connotations and preconceptions in the minds of others about how we act or how sensitive we are. Literally easier to just not be open about it because it saves me having to make a speech about how retarded this stuff is every time someone stiffens up and tries to apologise for saying the word faggot in a joke.
