they’re not queer they’re gay. there’s lots of gay people who are just not very queer because they’re not involved in the community or the culture and don’t internalize the rejection of heteronormative ideas

There are people on here like that. A lot of people are only progressive about themselves. It’s really unfortunate and imo we should make people who only care about issues that directly affect them feel very very bad for their selfishness.

good point! it's just so baffling to me that they don't perceive themselves and the world in a more holistic way and refuse to make those connections. I guess they see it in the "it's not who I am, it's what I DO" kinda way

i also believe you can be fully cisgender and heterosexual and still be queer if you’re queering your relationship to sex and gender and are deeply involved in queer culture. i live in boston which is a huge queer cultural hub and definitely have cishet friends who are a lot more queer than 90% of transphobic gay people

yeah I can see that, especially for gay people who compartmentalize that part of themselves and intentionally divorce themselves from the culture. it took me a while to understand what queerness actually means and im a lot more open to all the different ways someone can be queer. I think it's all so fascinating

I’m someone who only self identifies as gay not queer because to me it’s really just a part of my identity that I see as normal and so I don’t really have any need to outwardly express it because it’s not any more important than other facets of my identity. Kind of like I wouldn’t like outwardly say I’m gay and instead just say “this is my girlfriend”, because it just feels better to me, with an added bonus of a positive reaction from more conservative people since my job requires me to be wor-

Working with more conservative people and if I just say I have a girlfriend instead of saying that I’m gay, they are usually way more receptive. Idk now I’m off point and just blabbering. No hate just my own way of life as food for thought
