Am I the only one who thinks gay culture is going too far?
No, being gay doesn’t affect your driving skills. It doesn’t affect your cooking skills. Being gay doesn’t make you different or better. It means you’re attracted to your own gender. I’m saying this as a bisexual person, so don’t think that I’m being homophobic. It was funny at first with just a few “gay culture” jokes but now you’re just taking everything and labeling it as your “culture”. Labeling everything as gay culture makes homosexuality look trendy and fun, which is what causes cishets to pretend to be LGBT when they’re not. I’m also sick of hearing LGBT people act like they’re better than everyone else. Being LGBT doesn’t make you better. Being LGBT isn’t trendy and cool. Stop. It’s one thing to have pride, it’s another to make being LGBT your entire personality and act like you’re 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 that’s a problem, but I don’t think “gay culture” is the problem here. When people say stuff like “oh gay people can’t drive/cook/do math” and “haha gay people sit weird and walk fast,” that isn’t 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 don’t actually care about it in real life. There are problems with lgbt people thinking they’re 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, I’d like to retract my statement that most people only make these jokes on the internet and don’t care about it in real life. My straight friend says she’s practically a lesbian because of the clothes she wears and because she’s really big into crafting. A straight girl on my floor jokes that’s she “appropriating every part of bisexual culture” because she has a bob haircut. Everyone else I’ve 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 can’t 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 😅
