"But you're gay... why do you like sailing and WWE?"

"Well, I feel like both of those are pretty gay considering the reputation the Navy has and WWE being all sweaty men."

"EXPLAIN FIREARMS THEN."

"Shooty go pew."

"WHAT ARE YOU?!"

"Hungry."

Based off of a real conversation I've had.

For one of my friends, it was like they were acting all the time as a straight person. When they came out they wanted to express their new self.

One of my friends stayed in the closet for years, even when all his friends knew he was gay, and we kept telling him we didn't care. When he came out of the closet, he was over the top flamboyant. After a couple more years, he really toned back on most of the mannerisms. It was like he tried on the flamboyancy and then decided he just liked men, not the act.

Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Our Partnered Discord Server: GayWave

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
