I love that explanation that goes "homophobic men are worried that gay men will treat them like homophobic men treat women."

An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.
Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.
Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.
Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.
Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

i prefer the explanation that goes men have been in locker rooms and heard what shit other men said in grade school. i'd choose the bear too.
I actually never heard that kind of talk in grade school, or rather it was already getting pushback 🤷♂️
i'm older xenniel, so like i heard it from the lads born in the 70s but didn't repeat it. telling them to knock it off just made you a target so after the first few times you keep your head down.
kind of like here, now that i notice.
Hetero myself, but hung around lots of gay dudes for a few years. Them hitting on me all the time. I realized its not that different from a woman you are not interested in hitting on you. Just politely turn them down and move on.
I've been propositioned by gay men more times than I can remember. Literally every single cruise I've been on. Vegas, bars, house parties, and barbeques. I realize I give off the impression that I myself, might be gay, but I've been married for almost 20 years to a woman. I do not find any men sexually attractive.
Guess what? It's always a huge fucking compliment. I take it as I'm fit enough, dress well, and I'm seen as non-threatening. I always like to joke that I wish I were gay though, lol.
you must live near a gaydar jammer.
Also, married to a woman means not gay....LOL.
I think it's more the, I don't find men attractive than that, lol. I do understand many men hide in hetero marriages 😀.
Or if you are bad at social queues, yousimply, don't notice like you don't notice the women hitting on you.
That show was awesome.
What show?
It was called Legion.
My favorite Audrey Plaza role of all time. No I will not be answering any questions
Legion. Its a Marvel show but not cnnected to anything else, its weird as fuck but also amazing if you like weird as fuck things.
Essentially, a super powerful psychic mutant is maybe schizophrenic and/or actually psychotic, as the core plot. Half the show literally takesplace inside people's heads, which is part of what makes it so trippy.
Damn those yellow piss eyes are so sexy... too bad.
Then they get pissed off when you tell them not to flatter themselves
Im the opposite of this meme. Im a "hetro" who tried desperately to hit on and hook up with every gay person I've known in my life, but they all turn me down . l dont do this anymore im old and broke now lol
