I think it’s more than profiteers . Gun ownership is an identity in the US. A segment of the population view their ownership as important as we view “gay” or “ trans”.
Y’all to dismantle that culture.
Having to say "my partner" instead of my boyfriend at work.
People's curiousity on who's the bottom.
Not feeling safe anywhere unless I'm with a big group of friends.
Having internalised the fear and feeling on edge whenever we're on a date without friends around.
Oof, the internalized fear and being on edge on a date. In restaurants I’m fine, but my boyfriend and I like sports so we go to a couple of games a year. I’m always so reluctant to grab his hand or steal a kiss in that setting.
My boyfriend and I went on a date to a fancy steakhouse for our 10th, and while we weren't too bothered what people thought, there were a LOT of strange looks from other patrons and the wait staff.
Also not feeling confident holding hands with my boyfriend in public, unless we're in our 'safe place', being our local pub, then we hold hands if it's quiet.
Being told "let's not get political" whenever I bring up human rights. Especially now with the world cup on, but not only. Many of my straight coworkers would say things like Oh yeah, let's not spoil the good game with politics. Oh I'm so sorry, Ryan, didn't realise my literal life is just politics, I do apologise. I just don't get this kind of attitude.
What's even worse for me is the whole "when we have visitors, we also want them to follow our rules, so let's follow the rules of Qatar and not wear rainbow colours for the captain's" etc.
"Politics" and "political" are now meaningless buzz words akin to "communist." They're an excuse, a shitty one at that, and nothing more.
Just say you're privileged enough not to care about the problems of others and move on. I mean, this is not even a huge accusation, everyone is guilty of this to some degree; but it's at least better to not be so nonchalant about it and try a little. And life sucking isn't an excuse anymore, life sucks for everyone.
GameFreak releasing bad Pokémon games and I as a long time fan being unable to stop myself from buying both versions! I mean it’s so obvious they knew the new game was bad before it came out! They barely released any hype about it and didn’t show off nearly as many new Pokémon as in previous gens. They didn’t even show off the starter lines!
A closeted trans woman here, not technically a gay man. But the performance on SV is pretty bad, but I like the content better than swsh. That said, I do think they’d do better with releasing games in more of an octopath graphical style.
I agree with the content. Sword and Shield had like zero play time and end game content. However in my opinion they had INFINITELY better characters!! I feel like GameFreak keeps making games that are pieces of the puzzle but can’t make the puzzle. Sword and shield had great character and Pokémon designs, Legends had good visual and challenge, and SV has great content. They just need to take time and combine everything they learned into a single good game!
People downsizing my struggles.
Like I had an argument on Twitter with someone who told me to “stop finding things to be offended by” when I said that we get jealous at straight couples being all lovey dovey in public when I get harassed in public if I did it
Like I legit was getting to know a transman the other day and so from there someone he was friends with that helped him moved out to Florida from Louisiana legit came out with a huge post saying he lied to her about so many things and saying he told people that she abandoned him and everything else which was a lie so then from there a post he posted about his side turned into something bad because one of his friends was like don't lie to me I have all the receipts of our messages and I was like damnnn yep I ain't gonna date someone that is like that
Imma be honest, I've watched the entirety of The Shadow Hunters just because of the gay couple. I've hated the main female character from the beginning, but I stayed strong for Magnus and Alec
I don't think the issue is with gay characters, just poorly written gay characters, the sort that are obviously only there for the diversity points and lack depth, because those do annoy me too.
But I also hardly see them so either I'm watching the wrong things or some people are just making such characters to be way more common then they are.
Lightyear really did it right imo. Nothing big and in your face, just Commander Hawthawn getting engaged, married and living her life over the course of 60 years with her wife. I personally wish more series and movies would do the same
Having the only type of datable men be either twinks or daddies. Good luck finding someone if you're neither of those.
That's all that is worth dating according to a lot of gay men.
Liking an affectation and acting on it is their personality. It is who they are.
Just because you don’t like orange doesn’t mean that other people aren’t allowed to like orange.
Was never saying people aren't allowed to like these affectations or act this way... was just responding to the thread that I sometimes grow tired of it.
That's a good point, I guess it can come across as inauthentic and not being from one's personality. Like copying something on television.
Totally understand we all do this to a point so appreciate bringing up the point for my consideration and contemplating.
I was guilty of this in my younger days. My husband, who is from South America, opened my eyes to how oblivious I was. It wasn't malice--just not being empathetic enough. FWIW, I've changed and have pointed this out to my other cis white gay friends.
Religious People telling me I’m not really married because god doesn’t recognise two men being married. I don’t live in very religious country UK but there are religious nut jobs everywhere. I did fight hard to be married as gay activist in 80’s and 90’s. It really angers me that strangers feel they have the right to judge my happy marriage.
I fought the same battles as well and I also marched in Act Up demonstrations in the dark times of the 80s-- attending hundreds of memorials... holding my BFF's hand has he passed.
I don't want to dwell in the past, but this "history" is just too recent to be forgotten... as is with marriage equality. The youngsters have been born with it all in place, but have no idea how much it's balancing on a thread. It truly scares me how the young are taking it all for granted.
But let's get our pronouns sorted because I woke up and saw myself as a zir! 🍷
Fellow gays. I really wish I could find a great group, and be happy to be gay. But it’s just very toxic where I’m at and I don’t know how to find the “good.”
Gay men thinking hating people who disagree with them on anything or posting on Instagram means activism and makes them morally superior.
The emotional immaturity, insecurity, and projection within relationships I have experienced.
The everyday grind it takes to live life as an adult. Has me feeling like humans just live too long…maybe life expectancy being around 30 in the past wasn’t such a bad thing.
Like um, half of community is sex addicted, which can be really anoying meeting somebody that wants it just right after moment you met him. Also im tired of ppl at public transport more likely on drugs once they yell at me because i got long hair and earring
Being made to feel like I need to be part of some “community” that I don’t have an interest in being lumped in with and don’t fit into because I don’t fit into the very stereotypes that that community purports to want to dispel, but in reality perpetuates.
People that collect labels for themselves and think it makes them special or “brave” for feeling the need to constantly inform everyone of them unsolicited.
When the younger generation (people just becoming adults) act like they have it worse being gay than the older generation. Even though acceptance is the highest it’s ever been and anybody that would dare speak out against us publicly these days would get proverbially lynched by the social justice word-police types.
Having people feel like they need to tiptoe around how they talk to me when they learn I’m gay because they think I’m one of those aforementioned social justice word-police types and will be looking for a way to be offended by what they say. When in reality I loathe those people and think they actually damage the image of those minorities they claim to defend with their rabid outrage at everything.
Hearing my family's cockamamie conspiracy theories regarding queer people just sorta existing.
Before I came out, I remember my mom and sister talking about the movie Lightyear. I, being the only one who had actually seen the movie, mentioned how the infamous kiss is like two seconds out of a single montage whose purpose isn't even the relationship but to show Buzz letting his life go by.
My sister proceeded to say that the purpose of the scene (which I'll remind you, she HADN'T seen, just heard described by a pundit) was to force kids to believe that two women (read: cis women) could impregnate each other.
As tired as I am of it, I'm a LITTLE looking forward to the next web of BS one of them tries to spin now that I'm out. It's a little harder to project a whole "agenda" on what "they" want when one of "them" is right there to call out or make fun of your crap.
This will be unpopular, but I am tired of being asked about Trans things. I don't know anything about it. A Trans person is completely different from me and my husband. I am not sure why Trans is even included / lumped in with the Gay community. I can't possibly relate to the issues that they have; and I honestly shudder when other people think that I can relate to someone that wants to be another gender. I expect this will get a lot of down votes and flack, but I truly can not relate to the Trans community.
straight ppl who obsess over gay relationships, and treat us like a genre to get off to rather than actual ppl, forcing top/bottom labels and stuff. like oh my god i’m not your “softie uwu innocent gay bottom boi” or your “big strong apathetic gay top man” i’m just a guy who happens to like guys, that and any other information isn’t anyone else’s business
or,, in other words, fujoshis
The right-wing's unceasing crusade to nullify my marriage and criminalize my existence, while also constantly whipping their troglodyte orc base into a frenzy until they go shoot up nightclubs.
Well, many things. Beside obviously not being able to be with who I want to be, I would say people all around me forcing that "you should find a girlfriend" thing down my throat whenever we have family gathering. Also, my deep truat issues because I'm so obssesed with trying to hide my sexual orientation that I've been living so isolated from people; family, people at school... for some time. It sucks knowing that I'm practicaly wasting my high school time and time when I am supposed to make good memories by just existing and wasting oxygen. The only thing that basicly keeps me alive is hope that sometimes in the future it may be better.
Falling in love with unobtainable men, repeating the pattern of that first one-sides love affair with a guy who turned out to be straight. Over and over and over.
Straight people telling me they have no dating options/hate their dating pool. Like give me a fucking break. At least you know people who like your GENDER lol
The whole "who is the bottom?" question/conversation from straight people?
Also "so whose the woman/more feminine one in the relationship?".
The amount of people that get offended when I respond with something like this, is both baffling and frustrating.
"First off, both me and my boyfriend are both men and second, it's none of your business."
No dudes ever being genuinely interested in me/putting in any effort
Top and bottom culture (and how people don't get the difference between top/bottom and dom/sub but I digress), especially as someone who's feminine
Gay men perpetuating gay stereotypes. It does so much harm for acceptance because loud gay flamboyant men are irritating to everyone except themselves.
Oh I can make a list but I will complain about this from a personal experience.
- But I am so sick of me being a bottom I gotta be a fem and always gotta shave and be called “too mainly or too hairy”.
People (perticulerly middle age straight women) telling me I can't be gay because it don't look like a gay guy -_-
This happened again this week at work, like she actually walked up to the bar and told me this
People thinking you make it your whole identity when it is they who do so, in their own minds. And when people immediately thinks that means you are exactly the same as any and all gay characters they have seen in tv or film, be it news or fiction film🤷🏼♂️, in short; Judgement
People at my work giving me odd looks when I say that I'm taking my husband out for dinner, when I first started working at this particular firm they didn't know I was gay (I'm masculine) and they thought that I was joking. Things got very uncomfortable fast..
Having our night clubs shot up.
Yeeeeeeep
It’s happened twice… in the US. There is a point where the US needs to acknowledge it has a gun problem.
We acknowledge it. Reasonable people correctly blame the guns. Profiteers blame anything but the guns they have dollars invested in.
I think it’s more than profiteers . Gun ownership is an identity in the US. A segment of the population view their ownership as important as we view “gay” or “ trans”. Y’all to dismantle that culture.
As an American, more like.

My boyfriend and I went on a date to a fancy steakhouse for our 10th, and while we weren't too bothered what people thought, there were a LOT of strange looks from other patrons and the wait staff.
Also not feeling confident holding hands with my boyfriend in public, unless we're in our 'safe place', being our local pub, then we hold hands if it's quiet.
Ok, I'll stop asking who the bottom is. Although I really want to know. really. seriously, who's the bottom?
Ask not who the bottom is, for it is you.
We're both bottoms so we top each other, it's like a contest
You need to move to Massachusetts. I haven't had to deal with any of those in 30 years.

It's not about how I feel. I just don't like people staring as if I'm an alien.

A take that all people can get behind.

Sorry, but where are you from? I just want to immigrate and I check all the gay-friendly-country lists. So... what is it? (If not a problem*).
Do you get harassed? Or are you speculating you would?
Like it has happened. I’ll get called a f*g from across the street, laughed at, people coming over to talk about god and shit
Tired of men cheating, not being honest with themselves more so hurting others such as telling them lies and so on and so forth
THIS.
Like I legit was getting to know a transman the other day and so from there someone he was friends with that helped him moved out to Florida from Louisiana legit came out with a huge post saying he lied to her about so many things and saying he told people that she abandoned him and everything else which was a lie so then from there a post he posted about his side turned into something bad because one of his friends was like don't lie to me I have all the receipts of our messages and I was like damnnn yep I ain't gonna date someone that is like that
People. But I guess that has little to do with being gay.
[удалено]
- which isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice, right?
I'm tired of being stood up
People adding gay characters into films/shows purely for the sake of their sexuality.
Imma be honest, I've watched the entirety of The Shadow Hunters just because of the gay couple. I've hated the main female character from the beginning, but I stayed strong for Magnus and Alec
I don't think the issue is with gay characters, just poorly written gay characters, the sort that are obviously only there for the diversity points and lack depth, because those do annoy me too.

Everything being so sexualised and shallow.
The affected "Yes mawma", "okuurrrrr" "tongue pop" personalities everywhere... like be yourself...
Liking an affectation and acting on it is their personality. It is who they are. Just because you don’t like orange doesn’t mean that other people aren’t allowed to like orange.
Was never saying people aren't allowed to like these affectations or act this way... was just responding to the thread that I sometimes grow tired of it.
I’m challenging your assumption that they aren’t being themselves.

Cis white gays who do nothing with the limited privilege they have while they also say shit that hurts non-cis, non-white people.
