when i was being stalked & harassed (ended up being physically assaulted) by a man who was gay, it was INCREDIBLY hard to get help either from Title 9 or domestic violence/women’s safety places because it wasn’t dating related or an intimate partner. and i realized there was a huge gap in resources for women being abused in non-intimate circumstances.
bisexual girly here. when i was in theatre in high school, there was a gay guy who would try and get into the girls dressing room… where girls would be naked… and backed it up with “but im gay i dont want yall like that” and i pulled him aside one night and explained why it was weird, and he called me homophobic and tried to turn everyone against me. (they all realized quickly he was a weirdo using his sexuality to get away with shit).
i was out with my coworker and some of her friends at this event we were “working” at, and there was an after party and there was a band so we were dancing. at some point this gay guy starts dancing with me which i was fine with at first but i kept trying to break away and be with my coworker (1/2)
and he keeps talking to me and i just kept listening and agreeing with him to be nice, but at some point he kept dancing with me and i kept trying to say no but he wouldn’t let me and out of nowhere he starts ASKING ME ABOUT MY SEX LIFE, completely unprovoked and it literally made me so uncomfortable
