      Conservatives: “They’re trying to cram gAy AgEnDa down our throats.”

      My Gay Friend: Works in an office. Pretty good with Excel. Plays golf on Saturdays. Likes cats. Has a boyfriend but still trying to decide if he’s ready for a serious commitment. Just wants to be treated like a regular human being.

        One of my gay friends is a Wyoming cowboy so stereotypical he might as well be an extra in the Yellowstone TV show. He brews beer, hunts, etc. The “gayest” thing he does is competitive line dancing which, if we’re being honest, is not “gay” as much as it is dorky as hell.

    And here I am with no desire to display anything on myself, or make any statement with my clothes or behavior.

    I don’t feel the need to tell every stranger my life story. :)

      You know it’s okay to dress brightly, flamboyantly, dazzlingly and even fabulously too, right?

      Yet here you are doing in fact that exactly. What’s that called again?

      Oh yeah, virtue signalling

        Nope. Just want to say that there are many people who don’t have the need to put on a big show about themselves. It’s fine to just exist without broadcasting it to the world.

    Just because you are LGBT doesn’t mean you dress like a clown or speak like a pre teen girl in the 10th grade. I feel like this is what gives the community such hate. The majority of LGBT friends I have look and act completely normal but have different sexual preferences…If you were using the media or pride events as an indicator, you would never know…

            Who cares bro? So worst case scenario they put a penis in each other’s mouth or lick a vagina, as long as they aren’t shooting the school up or overdosing it doesn’t matter. Hell it might be better with the abortion bullshit going on.

              like I said I don’t care but when corporations and politicians are trying to force “fads” and laws on people it’s not ok. what don’t you get about that?
