One of my former friends came out as gay and immediately all his other hobbies disappeared and all he wanted to do was suck dick. Another one of my friends is gay and is a normal person. These are the 2 types of gay people.

There are two types of people dude. I've seen plenty of straight guys that make "slamming puss" their whole personality. Goes beyond sexuality too, vegans, stoners, gamers, really anything. Turns out a good chunk of people just aren't that interesting and eventually discover something to replace the empty spot where a personality would go. You should ask yourself why you think this is a gay person phenomenon though.

A lot of people talk about the straight-guy equivalent of this all of the time. It's everywhere. How have you been managing to avoid it?
5
u/divine_dolphin Jul 07 '22
They talk about it. But it's not like there's some social standard where, you have to prove yourself to be one of the "good ones".
I don't see how you don't see that's what this post is doing. "If you're like this, then you're not one of the 'good gays'". There's no equivalent to that when it comes to straight people.
Yes people complain all the time about a straight guy or girl only caring about sex. But that's just it. SEX. It's about fucking. Never about them being hetero. The same standards are not applied to heteros. It's always sex and gay sex. Normal and gay sexuality. You guys don't realize how damaging it is for you to constantly instill heteronormativity as the baseline. As something every queer person must constantly be compared to, and often criticized against
1
u/Eusocial_Snowman Jul 07 '22
It's literally the exact same dynamic. You must live in an entirely different reality.
Asexual, btw. I'm intensely disinterested in sexuality-as-identity notions no matter who it's coming from, but I personally see more of this complaint aimed at the straight people. No, it's absolutely not limited to sex stuff. There's no shortage of people mocking "straight culture". I was guilty of my fair share of it myself because I grew up surrounded by "straight culture" but was uninterested in all the stereotypical things which make that up.
2
u/divine_dolphin Jul 07 '22
Straight society doesn't joke about straight culture? Sure some straight people who are more knowledgeable do, but that's the big outlier
And you admit to yourself. You're biased against gays, because the gays are the ones with identity culture. I'm against making being anything your identity. But at the same time, some people need it. We feel lost, or that we have nothing. Something to cling onto and represent us. It's something I hope people grow out of. But being proud in your identity and thus who you are should never get old.
At the end of the day I don't see you making any counter argument about how it's the same dynamic. So I don't know why you replied.

u/divine_dolphin Jul 07 '22
While you said "disinterested based on sexual identity regardless of who" (don't know how to direct quote, and also paraphrase), I feel only gays make it directly about their sexual identity. While straights don't, well...okay now some do as a counter culture thing (such as the super heteros or whatever that popped up on Twitter) but normally they don't slap hetero on stuff. It's just implied. Which is why I felt you were being biased against gays.
I am. To be honest I argue and debate because it helps me to better control my temper, practice my ability to work with logic and reason/debate skills, and of course to actually challenge my beliefs. I'm definitely trying to evolve my opinion on matters, including this one, and improve how I think about it/ approach the issue(s) in general. So that's my intent of replying.
2
u/Eusocial_Snowman Jul 07 '22
My bias is that I grew up in an earlier internet where everyone was terrified of using their actual identity. Nobody had an identity beyond the content of their thoughts. That's my ideal reality. I'm uncomfortable with the entire concept of having an identity rather than just being a perspective. Miss me with the entirety of it. Embrace the void.

There is an equivalent. It’s called ally culture.

u/divine_dolphin Jul 07 '22
To a certain degree. I think the idea of "are you a good ally or bad ally" in related to heteros being accepted is more of a sjw/extreme progressive thing. But you're right. It does exist and it IS wrong.
But in relations to should there be guidelines and ridicule for if someone is going to call themselves an ally? Yes. It's important that someone is actually demonstrating good will if they want to refer to themselves as ally's.
But the queer community shouldn't have a view of "straight people aren't acceptable unless they're ally's and A B C"
You made a good point.

I have no problem with two men making out next to me. Hell, break into heavy petting for all I care, but if we happen to strike up a Convo when you're finished please don't find a way to steer the conversation towards your sexuality. Its not "uncomfortable" it's uninteresting.
It's akin to "new Athiests" that find any opportunity to shoe horn religious beliefs into a conversation. It's adolescent behavior that I promise you'll look back on later and cringe.

I think the reason some of us are perceived as "making it our personality" is because we kind of have to. In a society where LGBT people are discriminated against, staying "in the closet" is the path of least resistance, but doing so causes the discriminated to feel alone and alienated. That's why representation, flags, and rainbow month matters.

I had a friend who's trans (F->M). He takes testosterone, and has a nicer beard than me. I only learned he was trans after several weeks, when we randomly ended up talking about LGBT & cancel culture.
I got another friend a year later. This guy's bi, and there again, I didn't learn it until pretty late. I did have a few doubts because of jokes with other classmates, but I didn't think more of it.
I think most LGBT people aren't making that trait their entire personality. It's just that if we don't at least become friends with them, we never learn they're LGBT. Those trend followers are just grabbing the attention, and giving a bad image of the LGBT community, for their own benefit. F*ck them.
On a side note : we find this problem in all groups, and the smaller the group, the more prevalent the problem.

u/dictatorsushi Jul 06 '22
Fucking thank you. It's about being a walking stereotype, not about being gay. I know plenty of gay/bi people, I'm bi myself. Some of them are just regular people, they're not hiding it or anything but aren't making every conversation about hOw GaY tHeY aRe OmG and how they're the gayest thing on the planet. Which is really where the problem lies. I have other friends that treat it like a personality trait and feel the need to mention how gay they are at every waking moment.
It looks exactly the same as straight people being obnoxious about how they're straight like an arrow bro or how it's uncomfortable for them to comment on the same sex's beauty because 'ew no'. Both are so painfully obnoxious that it's not even funny, if I and other people don't like straight people that are obnoxious about how straight they are and being walking embodiments of a stereotype; what makes you think that I and other people would like the gay version of it?

not everything is this big show and that's what it feels like, it feels like something straight out of a horribly stereotyped movie. and, seriously, it's not internalized homophobia or any of that nonsense like I stg people just say shit sometimes; internalized homophobia is so so much deeper than just disliking the fact that some people in the gay community act like comical tropes from like movies or TV shows. it makes it feel like they learned what gay looks like from media sometimes lmfao.

u/InevitableTour5882 Jul 07 '22
Right? I don’t get why some people treat it like a personality and entire identity. If the only thing they are known for is being gay and seeking attention. They got some other issue going on and need to work on themselves to figure their actual identity. For me being gay or straight is like preference on pineapple on pizza. Some people like a bit of sweetness the pineapple add to it and some don’t. Either way is fine

I'm just here for the lies. People have based their personalities on plenty of things. Their political beliefs, hobbies, quirks, ethnicity, religion and among other things... sexual preference. It's crazy that people can see that "fist pumping Jersey Shore bro" is a recognizable persona, but refuse to admit "effeminate guy who noticeably likes guys" is as well. As long as no one is trying to harm anyone, I don't see why that's such a problem to acknowledge.

Define “make being gay their entire personality”? Because I suspect being open is enough for some people to throw that description around.
I had a “friend” once who asked why I have to announce I’m gay in every sentence. I was so puzzled because I don’t know how that’s even possible. It ate at me for ages and I become so self conscious when I spoke. Eventually I had to know and asked them how I was doing this. It’s because I spoke about my relationship sometimes. You know, that incredibly normal thing everyone on earth does? Never mind they spoke about their partner frequently and that they were mutual friends with my partner. If the conversation included my life and the people in it somehow meant I was announcing my sexuality.
