Im wary around everyone especially men. It would put me a little at ease but i will never relax around a stranger

Definitely can be more at ease when I know I’m in an enclosed space with a gay man instead of straight

Personally I feel so much better. I also know most of my friends feel the same way, but be careful bc some girls are toxic especially towards gays. Be safe kings and queens 🙏

i love when i get in elevators & men just ask how’s my day is going and then when the elevator opens he just goes about his business. like it not flirtatious or anything!

Yes 100%

I’m honestly usually totally oblivious instead of nervous (privileges of being a tomboy, absolutely understand why most women feel that anxiety) but if you turn the gayness up and are friendly in the elevator you *will* walk out with a new friend (it’s me)

15

Absolutely

12

Much. I’ve been harassed by countless straight men, but never a gay man. It feels a lot less threatening when I’m stuck in an enclosed space with a gay-appearing man than a straight-appearing man

11

I do the same. I’m straight, but I turn up the gayness to make women feel less uncomfortable.

It would relax me but I’m also a lesbian so I’d relax cause you’re part of the gang

8

Yes 100% even if we’re not comfortable being alone with men in general, it’s 10x less threatening

8

I would definitely feel more comfortable especially cause I’m also queer 😭

Do people actually do this? This is wild

That’s so sweet ☺️. I don’t like elevators in general regardless of people in it plus it is usually a short trip in the elevators. By the way, what do you do to make it known you’re gay? Do you like jump up and down with Jazz hands? 😂

I don’t 🤷‍♀️

3

i trust gays more than women sometimes so yes

3

i thought a lesbian wrote this and i felt so seen

3

It would help for me, but as a lesbian im afraid i do the opposite. I become as Straight as can be

2

I love gay men i genuinely feel so safe around them because I don’t have the eerie feeling that they’re looking at me in a weird way so thank you
