Flamboyant ones are the minority

but they're the ones out their at the parade

@MountainMan I live in SF 2.0

that everyone sees

The minority affects the view of the majority.

When they're what they see.

@Fitzydog oof

big oof

Because only the idealogues show up to the pride parades

And being gay and disagreeing with ltbt ideology will get you excommunicated

I was never part of it, and refused to be part of it.

Like me for instance

I could see it was toxic from the get-go.

Pride in US isnt just a festivale-ish thing? Where people sell stuff and play music? Maybe have a parade with people with flags?

Remember the good ol days in the 1800s, when homosexuality was on a don't ask don't tell policy, agreed upon by everyone?

It's super-gay virtue signalling, @MountainMan

We had a gay president lol

@Maw oOF

I'm gay but keep your fucking clothes on, there are only two genders so pick one, and I would never ask for special privileges for my sexuality, only equal treatment

You get equal treatment if you don't like... go around telling people that don't need to know that you're gay.

That's... always been the way I've seen it.

question to yall americans

"Who, that guy? Yeah, he's a bit strange and has a male room mate. But he's alright."

As long as I'm not in fear of being thrown off a rooftop for my sexuality, I'm fine.

is homophobia rampant in some communities?

I'm not out to make people uncomfortable.

hmm

thats it?

Well, look at the Top Gear episode where the gang drive through Alabama

People naturally fear those who are different, especially when there's religion involved

I can guarantee you though, talking about being gay does make people uncomfortable.

Military is alright with gay people. Just don't be effeminate

What does "effeminate" mean? Feminine?

Yea.

Twinks and the like in the gay community.

@Maw I don't tell anyone I'm gay unless I know them pretty well, none of my co-workers know

It should be, and likely will be.

there is massive homoeroticism in the military though

You'd be dumb to tell your battalion you're gay.

at least from what ive heard
