Am I the only one who thinks gay culture is going too far?
No, being gay doesnât affect your driving skills. It doesnât affect your cooking skills. Being gay doesnât make you different or better. It means youâre attracted to your own gender. Iâm saying this as a bisexual person, so donât think that Iâm being homophobic. It was funny at first with just a few âgay cultureâ jokes but now youâre just taking everything and labeling it as your âcultureâ. Labeling everything as gay culture makes homosexuality look trendy and fun, which is what causes cishets to pretend to be LGBT when theyâre not. Iâm also sick of hearing LGBT people act like theyâre better than everyone else. Being LGBT doesnât make you better. Being LGBT isnât trendy and cool. Stop. Itâs one thing to have pride, itâs another to make being LGBT your entire personality and act like youâre better than everyone else.
I mean I get what you mean about how a lot of tumblr gays make their sexuality their entire personality and how thatâs a problem, but I donât think âgay cultureâ is the problem here. When people say stuff like âoh gay people canât drive/cook/do mathâ and âhaha gay people sit weird and walk fast,â that isnât them acting like their sexuality makes them better than straight people. Those kind of things are just jokes, and I promise you that people mostly just talk about this stuff for fun on the internet and donât actually care about it in real life. There are problems with lgbt people thinking theyâre somehow better than cishet people for existing, but these jokes arent part of that problem.
Lmao upon going to a liberal arts college for one semester, Iâd like to retract my statement that most people only make these jokes on the internet and donât care about it in real life. My straight friend says sheâs practically a lesbian because of the clothes she wears and because sheâs really big into crafting. A straight girl on my floor jokes thatâs she âappropriating every part of bisexual cultureâ because she has a bob haircut. Everyone else Iâve met at school is gay, and they 100% make it their entire personalities. Not only that, but they actively try to make being gay my personality even though I have never tried to do so myself. I literally canât express any of my interest without my friends cracking a joke about how the thing I like is either very gay or ironically straight. Turns out I was just kind of isolated from irl queer communities because all of my friends in my hometown are straight đ
