I never understood what any moral crusader would have against gay or bi people being as happily or miserably married as anyone else.

Happiness is a finite resource and what you need to do is sit on your pile of happiness and point a gun at anyone who tries to take some of the happiness

The universe is finite. It's happiness finite. If joy is left unchecked, joy will cease to exist. It needs correction.

I remember when my sister came out.

She brought me, my mom, my brother out to lunch and after a while was like "I have something to tell you" "I'm gay" My immediate response was "No poo poo, we had that figured out years ago" which I guess in hindsight wasn't the most eloquent way of handling it.

I got to walk her down the aisle to "give her away" to her new wife a couple years ago. Number 1 in life experiences. :3

This actually owns as a way to handle it

You're literally saying, well no duh, and also I don't care it ain't no thing

Like it's pretty explicitly showing support in that you knew and you didn't make a thing out of it cause she's still your sister, y'know?

It's way better than OMG I STILL LOVE YOU

Like, for sure the "duh" angle can feel pretty dismissive of how important it can be to people. But the "we still love you" makes it sound like you caught something terminal and they're willing to stick it out with you.

My primary role model in high school came out as trans a couple of years later (which rules and I think helped me realize how not into stereotypical masculinity I was), which she did by showing up at my house wearing women's clothing to hang out. I was like "oh hey, wearing a dress is cool, wanna help me reformat my old computer?" and that was pretty much the most we talked about it until she later told me I was the first person she had presented as female to.

Recently I was telling that story for the first time since it happened, and I broke down crying, because it actually hit me how hard it undoubtedly was for her to build up the nerve to do that, and I have likely never for a moment experienced that kind of stress. It absolutely sucks that it is surely harder to come out now than it was four years ago.

When I was small (and before I'd even considered that I might be bi) I was on the receiving end of homophobic bullying at school because I liked reading and wasn't good at sports and I'm so proud of my dad for sitting me down and explaining that even if I was gay that'd be all right too. And then clarifying the situation with my aunt and her best friend that I hadn't figured out on my own.

I have so much respect for that man: he helped and supported her when the rest of his family wanted to wash their hands of her -- and this was the 1970s when national media was pushing the "Gays want to molest your children" narrative, so he and my mum can't have come to that decision out of anything other than the basic compassion of his hearts.

My aunt is now happily married and thanks to a lifetime of my dad keeping the olive branch persistently held out, my ukip-voting uncle and his wife came to my aunt's wedding and shared the day with them.

That being said, I completely support anyone and everyone's sexuality. Happy coming out day :toot:

I always thought the meaning of the word gay was “without care”. Anybody who can respect someone else’s personhood has my vote, but my life experience tells me that even gay male culture is far from immune to toxic masculinity and the false sense of superiority it cultivates. Some polite version of “Dude I’m not into you” is a fair answer coming from anyone, and I’ve met far too many men who just don’t or won’t get that. If it’s enough to make a woman dislike being hit on, it seems fair to say that sexual aggression as a classically male trait would feel even stranger to someone who’s not classically its target.

It would seem that my operational understanding of feminism being that of desired equality would be pretty much the gay agenda.

Seems pretty similar to racism or classism too from this vantage. It seems that an interracial relationship is still not acceptable in many places a same sex relationship isn’t.

Perhaps it’s that finite nature of happiness, but I don’t make the bed every day and neither does my wife. We don’t really have the money to pay someone else to do it either, if we lacked the ability to control when we had kids, we’d have even less money, time and energy to do it.

It seems like there’s still a lot of happiness a minority of people are withholding for themselves.

I wonder if sometimes those people can even be some spectrum of gay.

It seems nice to think we’re all not so different I guess, but maybe that’s the straight white male in me talking. Maybe we’re all more different than I could ever know.

Sorry if I watered anything down in a thread that’s remarkably in earnest. Finding a good line of what’s acceptable is a pretty slippery slope already.

I spend too much time in the r/relationships thread. One of my favorite story types that comes up every once in a while is where a teen worriedly comes out to their parents who respond with something low key like "Oh that's nice. What do you want for dinner?" Trying to play it cool so their kid feels accepted but the kid gets all upset because they expected more drama and fanfare.

Anyway it's okay to be gay. Get outa that closet friends.

Pretty sure it is mandatory gay marriages for everybody. It sure is taking a long time to get done though. I am just hoping my new husband has a higher net worth than me so I come out ahead in the deal.

Yeah but that expectation comes from it being extremely difficult to come out, because it's a thing that could get you discriminated against. You're taking this huge step because you're scared of that, and you build it up in your head, and even if it goes well you come to expect it to be A Thing and then it isn't and It's Weird

Having it not be a big deal is how it should be, just like being straight is. Culture shifting towards treating it like any other Tuesday when someone comes out, overall, is good. I expect those teens to appreciate it was just a small thing in a few years, when they look back on it.

I don't know if you've ever experienced it but the super loud performative show of support just gets loving tiresome after a while too. It stops feeling about you and starts feeling about them.

I'm out at work and to newer friends, but not old friends I haven't seen in a while. I'm half-out to my dad but not to my mum or any other older relatives, or my siblings. Not really sure why.

I was honestly a bit disappointed by being gay married, like, I thought it was going to be a ~thing~ but yeah, turns out it is just paperwork saying each other's poo poo is now our poo poo. It really hit me for the first time when I traded cars with my husband because he had a flat tire and the Discount Tire guy was going on about how the tires were fine but we should think about replacing them and I was like, this isn't even my car, go bug my husband and then I was like, poo poo, yeah, I guess this is technically my car, still, shut up. Also my dad is a racist rich old guy so I had already made my peace about it.

And yes, we leave the toilet seat down because we aren't tacky monsters. We even make the bed every day.
woah your parents are rich?
