This is one of the things that pisses me off. A cis/straight person complaining about a gay relationship in a movie. “They keep trying to force it down our throats” while there are literally thousands of CIS/Straight relationships flaunted everywhere every day in everything everywhere. Fucking hypocrisies.
The only “Christians” I know that do this are specifically Mormons and Jehova Witnesses.
I guess all those missionaries who went around the world being cunts were just a figment of everyone’s collective imaginations then?
Since when do missionaries go door to door?
Every day? Have you seriously never had a Jehovah’s witness come to your door?
Please tell me the last time a gay person knocked on your door and tried to convert you to being gay
You serious?
In the United States, the Jehovah Witness does exactly this.
I don’t have a problem with them but you’ve never experienced this?
Had a group of Christians approach me while i was looking at nail polish in an Ulta. Even after i said no thank you as politely as an angel they still insisted on letting me now their imaginary friend loved me. If anyone in the lgbt+ community acted like that in public Christians would call it grooming.
Hell, can you imagine if Muslims did that?
Weeeeeelllll
When I was a kid (12-13, in middle school) we shared a school bus with a local high school. One of the fellows on the bus was indeed a gay “man” (16-17 maybe), who was real good with computers, introduced me to Linux (though I wouldn’t run it myself for about 10yr.) Well, I was interested in computers, and he used this to become friends with me. Over the year-or-so we hung out some outside of school, but he kept showing me (straight) porn and we’d watch it together (mind you I’m 12-13 and he’s 16-17), and trying to get me to engage sexually with him, lines like “how do you know you’re not gay if you never tried it” and stuff like that. If that ain’t grooming idk what is, it didn’t take on me but he tried so hard. Btw, this 16-17yo kept telling me about a 30ish-yo that was doing the same to him (plus feeding him alcohol and gaining access to gay clubs in town underage,) so there’s an element of passing it on.
I’m just saying, male on young male grooming isn’t not a thing…
What was the point of you posting an anecdote like this
Are you trying to suggest that your anecdote is indicative of other’s reality?
Or are you just trying to tell us about that time you watched porn with a dude
And the plural of anecdote is not data
It is a data point though, and really is anecdotes because there have been multiple pushy gay men I’ve met.
But like, really? Woman says “men can be pushy” “yeah for sure,” man says “men can be pushy” “anecdotes are not data?” Then the women’s anecdotes aren’t either, we sure we wanna play this game?
knock knock knock
Hello, have you heard about our lord and savious Luigi Magione?
When I was 19yo, we saw a couple of mormon fellows making the rounds. My gf suggested we get ready to answer the door naked as though they interrupted us having sex. I can’t remember what happened, so that probably means they didn’t knock on our door. My memory is also shit due to years of drugs and alcohol plus ADHD. It would have been funny, though.
Religious knockers get an automatic, “Get fucked,” from me today. The fucking arrogance of coming to my home to tell me that I’m wrong and you’re right is baffling.
Good morning Sir! Do you have a few minutes to talk about show tunes and skin care?
The saddest part of all of it is that it affected transphobia a lot, since trans women were painted as gay men tricking straight men in order to convert them to homosexuality. Bigots just realized they can divide the conquer the queer community once enough of the gays started to forget some of the details of the past.
Maybe the temptation they feel is the gays knocking from inside and that’s why they’re mad
Sidebar, I had a friend who specifically went after straight guys, double points if they had a girlfriend or wife. Strange fetish and a little unethical but to each their own. But to the point, he didn’t go door to door knocking. Club to club maybe.
did he offer top or bottom?
which did the str8 guys prefer?
I’ve been on the other end of that, and the gay guys accept a “no” thrice as fast as the Jehovahs do.
Pro tip: tell Jehovah’s Witness that you used to be a Witness, but you quit. They will 180 super fast as those who quit are ostracized for life
Very true.
Oh no they do not lmao. Y’know how women always complain about men not taking no for an answer? You think that’s only “the straights?” There’s for sure pushy gay men that will bother you all night (or for 3mo if you’re 12 and he’s 16). Pushy women exist too, one literally told me “no you don’t understand, this is going to happen” and like, could I have physically stopped her? Yes, but you try explaining a physical altercation with your roommates girlfriend to the police and see how that goes, eh? Easier to let her have her way with me I guess. Men at least you can fight if they do touch you.
Now, pushy gays are less common than JW and Mormon door knockers combined of course, so the religious are more frequent, but the biggest reason IME that gays may persist where the religious fear to tread is when the religious come to my door I can either politely give them SubGenius pamphlets and that freaks 'em out but good, or I can be an absolute dickhead and say edgy shit like Hail Satan, or otherwise mock their religion like “Joseph Smith is a liar yadda yadda,” BUT for the gays you can only be polite when declining, if you’re a dick about it you get called homophobic by people who didn’t hear the other 7 times tonight that Mike has tried to peer pressure my dick into his mouth.
Has a gay person ever knocked on your door to convert you?
No, but I imagine it would make a whole lot of Republican secret wishes come true.
americans are obsessed with the image of “… being shoved down thoat”
I’m a straight cis het dude. I have never felt oppressed by gay homies. Like how hard is it just not give a fuck?
how hard is it just not give a fuck?
See, that’s why it’s so hard for homophobes to be around gay people. They want to give a fuck, but they can’t handle their own social stigma so they want it outlawed to remove the temptation.
Real.
Like how hard is it just not give a fuck?
OMG you said how hard you are why do you want to fuck me you fag!?
I’m confused and horny. Only if you’re down though. Consent is King.
I’m also horny and confused and my DMs are consensually open
Respectfully watches
😉
😬 Confusion and consent are a tricky combination
Jasmine was an awakening for me.
Same. And Jessica Rabbit. I wasn’t sure what was happening in my trousers but I knew I could ask my mum.
I asked your mum about what was happening in my trousers, too.
Good evening, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, cock?
Our Gaylord.
Can’t decide if that’s David Mitchell or Benny Andersson.
Apparently it’s Robert Redford, a brief scene from this movie
Jerimiah Johnson
Pretty sure there’s a chin under that beard, so David Mitchell’s out. Must be Benny I guess!
Our daddy in Grindr, swallowed be your cock, your manhood come
Reeeeaach, Arrrouund.
Can I get a gayy-menn up in here?
do we gotta talk about it or do you want to just put it in my mouth?
They probably mean in the media portraying lgbt relationships. A lot of right wingers think it’s too much. Imagine saying that to on-screen interracial relationships…
They do say that about interracial relationships…
Nonsense. The real over-representation in media is step-siblings and step-parents, in the last 10 years that’s all you ever see.
I have straight aura, and I 've been in a lot of queer spaces where people think i was the token straight, no one never tried to convert me.
But that one time the charity i was working for found a partnership with a local catholic church, suddenly i have to explain over and over why i don’t need religion in my life.
Ask them about all of the lawsuits involving priests.
I have a cynical scientific aura from before 2000 that thinks talking about auras is fucking stupid. I hope it’s contagious, or that every time you say “aura” unironically a fly finds its way in your mouth.
The majority of our thinking is subconscious and sometimes we use metaphors to explain how it communicates to our conscious.
