People From The LGBTQ+ Community Laugh At “Homophobic Culture” By Sharing The Worst Posts They’ve Seen (50 Pics)
The members of LGBTQ+ have to deal with a lot of hate. Whether it's in real life or online, as a group, they're constantly under attack by spiteful people who question their very own existence. So in an attempt to create a safe space for venting, they started a subreddit called "Are the Straights OK?"
Even though the sub is relatively new — its birthday is October 2019 — it already has 329K subscribers, tackling difficult social issues like sexism and homophobia. Here are some of the most-upvoted posts from "Are the Straights OK?"

This Made Me Go Like
Yeah, I noticed that, too. The name of the link is "harmful-gender-stereotypes". Sounds fine, why did they not use it as a headline?
Load More Replies...What about the men that didn't?oh yeah they are the actual cowards..why did they survive if they didn't cower in fear
Probably meant Real Men, those who never complained about how hard life is.
Breeding Culture Is Creepy As Hell
Look at your bodies, people! Mouth, stomach, & intestines. God created you for the magnificent job of eating food & ignoring all other body systems! What can be more important than this?!?!
I don’t believe in gods but definitely eating is one of the best things in life

That was actually a woman, some transformed wife or something.
Load More Replies...Geez, way to totally put down women who don't / can't have biological children. What a nice human
Right? For some reason I find it double-creepy when not only do they want women to be baby-making machines but they also idolise the whole process.
Load More Replies...When I look at a woman, I don't normally see ovaries and a womb. That person must have X-ray vision.
I can't believe "the transformed wife" is still so popular with women, that woman is so brainwashed...
Too bad God didn't create a part of the body that pays for the upbringing of said life.
Bored Panda contacted the moderators of r/AreTheStraightsOK and one of them was kind enough to answer a few questions about the subreddit and what goes on in it. "The most popular theme across this subreddit is the lack of self-awareness when it comes to certain couples and their toxic relationships," the mod said.
"It's like that one guy at work who comes in every day complaining about his wife and you constantly ask yourself 'Why are they even still married?!'"
The mod thinks the community of the subreddit is really great. "We have a bunch of genuine users who share a lot of personal moments as well as laughs and friendly jokes. We do get trolls, and they sometimes are subtle, but for the most part, we really like the community that posts here," they explained.
Props To The Kid Who Filled It Out
YES! we need to stop assigning a gender to things and actions, its pointless and harmful
Well, I hope you only speak English. Most European languages assign gender to absolutely every noun and most past particles.
Load More Replies...I'm thinking the same. It could be a no right/wrong question that is meant for discussing gender issues. It does say share ideas with the class.
Load More Replies...I look better in a suit than by boyfriend. He never tried wearing skirts but I'm sure he would rock them! :D
Suits and tuxedos tend to look great on anyone they are tailored to fit, regardless of gender.
Load More Replies...Wearing a suit won't turn me into a man, and wearing a dress won't turn a man into a woman. Honestly, I always felt bad for men who had to attend a formal event in high summer wearing clothing that covered them from neck to toe, while we women were comfortable in strappy mini-dresses. (This issue reverses somewhat in the dead of winter. It's hard to find formal clothing for women that keeps us warm, but not as hard as finding a suit that keeps you cool.)
my niece says things like, "that's a boy color, and that's a girl color". And I'm like, there are no such things as boy and girl colors, there is just colors.
I´m a gay man and fully agree anyone can and should wear whatever they want. That said I still feel that guys wearing high heels or dresses are kind of doing it more to make a statement or to seek attention.
Where was this? I'm curious because this seems (don't come at me, it's just my observation) to be a cultural/regional thing. I don't want to put my age here so I'll just say I'm about due for a midlife crisis as context. I didn't have this growing up. Kids wore what they wanted, played with what they wanted. Per my mom, that was what all the parenting books etc recommended back then and it makes perfect sense to me. Just let your kids be who they are. (PS my parents were conservative Christians
Im sure someone would ask something like that so I felt the need to clear it up.

I love the fact that my father, regardless of being conservative and "old fashioned" always greets my brothers with kisses on the cheek and hugs, even now that they're adults, just because he loves them. I can't understand why fathers are so apprehensive to show their male offsprings some love
It's an older generation thing still. "Can't show weakness or noone will respect me"
Load More Replies...I often see men in Third World countries holding each other’s hands while they’re walking down the street, or hugging each other, embracing each other!!! I would love to see men of all nations be man enough to do that. Calling each other gay f****t or any other derogatory term is a sign of fear and weakness.
Oh John, I am so sorry.. Maybe if you were loved you wouldn't be such a jackass
Get them dad hugs, damnit! Hug your brother while you're at it!
Why; because it's Biden? I suppose trump saying he'd date his daughter is acceptable?
Some critics of this subreddit can be heard saying it is simply putting labels on people and pitting them against each other which only widens the gap between the LGBTQ+ and straight cisgender folks but the mod of r/AreTheStraightsOK believes they misunderstand what this subreddit is actually about.
"First and foremost, it was created by a straight cis woman, and second, it includes straight people (both cis and trans) within the mod team and the community. Critics seem to be missing the information that's provided right in the sidebar on how this subreddit is not aimed at straight people in particular — it's aimed at bad relationships and sometimes sexist/LGBT+phobic people. Now, if critics fell into one of those areas themselves, I could at least understand why they think it's widening some sort of 'gap.'"
I Am Yet To Invade Poland
I always wondered why bigots think that a gay character in tv or teaching tolerance will turn kids queer while most media is hetero and hasn’t turned anybody
The most vocal protesters are trying to come up with a reason why they feel the way they do, and don't want to acknowledge that they've always had homosexual urges and it had nothing to do with anyone convincing them to "be that way".
Load More Replies...I think the objection comes from the relationships being introduced as normal or desirable. This is the only time in history that humans are normalizing null pairing, as in matches that result in no offspring. While homosexuality in all its fantastic variety has existed as long as recorded history and probably longer, those individuals expected to and often did go on to form heterosexual family units to produce children. Hetero relationships have been viewed as the "gold standard" for a millennia and those attitudes are deeply ingrained in societal structures.
Good point. Which brings us to the topic of infertile heterosexual individuals as well. Or heterosexual couples who can't conceive for whatever medical reason. That's also "null pairing", and, thinking of it - it was indeed deemed undesirable by social standards.
Load More Replies...Russia however has a different history with Poland, and they're banning gay "propaganda", hmmmm.....
They are coming from the same mindset that thinks thorough and comprehensive sex education will make kids have sex more than they already would.
It's all about how you apply what you've learned. My folks teached me how to conduct myself by example. I've also learned how to inflict harm and worse but I've never used that knowledge. Same thing about respect, no matter who/what/how and in wich color you love. Also same about religion. Manners maketh man.
Oh in Poland we have 'LGBT+ free zones', like WHOLE DISTRICTS, where the 'LGBT+ ideology' is banned to protect Polish traditional family values - like domestic violence, economic slavery and child abusing. As communities they lost TONS of money from UE funds because of homophobia, but they don’t want to Change mind.
Can They Stop Hating Each Other For Like.. 10 Minutes?
I can cook. I did so since I was 15, because I wanted to. And, really surprising - my balls did not fall off, nor crimpled into some raisin-like remain of theirselves, nor did any other bad happen. Only effect I'm aware of is that I get decent food whenever I want. Uh, how'd that happen, eh? And I'm straight, even that didn't change.
"crimpled into some raisin-like remain of theirselves" OMG I am cackling!!!
Load More Replies...So... Gordon Ramsay? Jamie Oliver? Just off the top of my head both of these MEN have sired at least 4 children each, and provide the meals. Their wives have their own careers too - amazing!
Ladies, let's get some mascara, cook it up and throw it into this guys face. He'll still be ugly at the inside, but at least it won't be showing through that much anymore.
“What do you expect your man to eat?” Whatever the hell he wants to cook (or buy if he wanna eat out) it’s not my job to feed a grown ass man who is supposed to be able care for him self.
I've been cooking since I was 10. My Mom taught me. I'm 63 now and have cooked for family, friends and even professionally. It's amazing what some people think are gender oriented tasks. I wash, cook, clean, sew and iron!
My sister-in-law can cook very well, but she doesn't enjoy cooking the way my brother does. He's handled the cooking for the family for years, and guess what? His son now loves to cook and impresses his friends at college with the food he makes.
Fellas...is It Gay To Be Able To See?
Oh yes. It is totally gay to SEE. What tf is wrong with people?!
Oh my, hearing aids and insulin pomps are also gay? What about pacemakers? I wear glasses my whole life and I'm still straight, am I doing something wrong?
No everyone knows pacemakers are super manly since you can require them after eating too much bacon, the real man food. I'd suggest maybe wiggling your glasses around a bit or pulling them down slightly so the gay energy can enter your body more easily though, it's concerning that you have been wearing them for so long and haven't gotten the gay yet. /s
Load More Replies...and vaccines are ultra gay , don't you dare try to stop yourself dying a terrible death as you'll look gay
So if I wear glasses AND get the vaccine, will the two gays cancel each other out and keep me straight or will they combine and make me super gay?
Load More Replies...Is she sure that's the real reason she doesn't like men wearing glasses, maybe she looks better blurry
The Great American Sitcom
What is worst than gay tv is the typical sitcom where the father is a lazy sexist who hates his wife. In real life, there are plenty of men who are hard working and loves their wives. Unfortunately this makes for boring TV and are not shown on tv.
Honestly, except The Simpsons (okay... not sitcom) and Married with Children, I remember more "dad works and mom works". Malcolm in the Middle, Full House, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Family Matters, Home Improvement (arguments could be made about the intelligence ;-) ), King of Queens, The Nanny, Roseanne - I might have missed some since I'm not in the US, but honestly... I only remember "Married... with children" of the dad-hates-mom-and-is-lazy trope.
Load More Replies...The only possible problem I have with "the gays" being on shows is they only seem to show the same gay stereotype. Not all gay people are interested in fashion, talk with a lilt, and make snarky and/or condescending remarks at every opportunity.
Lazy, sexist and FAT husband. Usually with a shapely wife. If only women ran Hollywood
Homophobes be so f*****g worried that tv turning their kids gay but don’t give a s**t if it’s turning their kids sexist.
Yes!!!! I hate that men and dads are always portrayed as idiotic fat slobs! I have an MBA I worked hard for, have a good job so my wife was able to make a choice if she wanted to stay home; and even though she does, I still changed dippers, cook, do a lot of cleaning and still do guy stuff too like screen in my patio and paint the house.
I have never wanted to be gay as much as when I watched an episode of the het couple on Everybody Loves Raymond.
A Man's Razor Will Cut A Woman's Skin Clean Off
Ever laughed so hard, your cheeks started to hurt because you just couldn't stop? Me right now. XD
Ditto that. Shampoo for Women gave me a 2m ponytail. It was luxurious, to say the least.
Load More Replies...I accidentally used the dog shampoo and now my hair is super shiny… But I just took a s**t on my neighbor’s lawn… It made my wife bark!
Uh ... I use a soap advertised for female private parts for my private parts, happening to be male ones. I see a slow transition, something has turned inwards, something else fell off and got flushed away in the shower, and my boobs started looking really sexy just last week...
But it is hilarious how much sexist people believe in gendering products. I recommend you all the Reddit sub “pointlessly gendered” is really funny
Load More Replies...Thats funny, cause I've been stealing my Dads and now my Husband's razors my whole life!!
My wife says my razors work better than hers, so I got her one. AND... you pay more for the pink.
Load More Replies...Skin works differently?? Um... I am very curious to hear IN WHAT WAY this man thinks women's skin works differently?? Skin keeps inside-stuff in and outside-stuff out... For men AND for women...
Yes and women cannot ride bicycles because they may injure themselves inappropriately, We shouldn’t be riding on trains because our uteruses will literally fly out of our bodies. History is full of misinformation and misconceptions about a woman’s body. The shocking thing is that so many of them have such staying power you’ve been around for decades, some hundreds of years.
Better To Be Silent And Assumed A Fool Than To Speak Up And Remove All Doubt
...with him, he means. He has no idea how enthusiastic they are with others.
But I'm sure he claims that no woman ever faked an orgasm with him
Load More Replies...This...
I never quite understood the english "girlfriend". Can't boys have normal friends that are girls? The norwegian word for it, "kjæreste", leaves the gender out. It simply means "dearest".
Oh it gets better, this is a recent development in English. Not even a hundred years ago, "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" just referred to friends who were female or male respectively in most parts of the US. The shift didn't start happening until cinema started becoming prevalent and presenting the idea that these terms should have special meaning reserved only for one's premarital significant other.
Load More Replies...All sex education is appropriate! If we don't teach our children about their bodies, who will?
Always comes up at family get togethers. Some uncle, grandpa, aunt will ask a young kid if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend. It's meant to be funny but it's one of those awkward, uncomfortable attempt at humor. It gives the impression that the kids are old enough to start dating at, like, 6.
My brother freaked out when I came out, he said "have you told you niece and nephews. I turned to them and said "I like boys". They said "Ok, can we have toasted sandwiches?"
This Tho
Again. More posts spreading the idea that straight people are all sexist bigots. Let’s not turn things into a way. It’s not “us against them” is “all against bigots”
Again. Bit of a #notallstraights. If it doesn't apply to you, we're not talking about you
Load More Replies...I am straight and do most of the cooking and the housework to help my wife out.
I think it'd make more sense to say "not all of us live in 1940s rural America", because that's basically the social norm that's being called out here...
Load More Replies...In my household, my husband does most of the daily cooking and cleaning, and he stays home with our son. I go out and work. It's not about gender. It's simply about what works best for YOUR family/home/situation. Period.
As soon as these are jobs on a professional level a woman can't tell a banana from a potroast and will plant a flower roots upwards. Oh how the turntables.
That Ratio Tho
Either that god is omnipotent and created queer people (so they are fine) or they didn’t created them so it’s not a god or does not exist. Either way it’s pointless to worship a hateful divinity (like most are)
Or “god” just isn’t really a micromanager and when ‘s/he’ said free will ‘s/he’ meant it?
Load More Replies...If god hates homosexuals, why are they around since the dawn of mankind? Seems like he doesn't have a problem with them, eh?
If God hates homosexuals, then why do so many priests suck so much d**k?
Load More Replies...Difference here is that being LGBTQ+ is not a choice while being religious is.
To be fair, some people are very strongly indoctrinated with religion as children, which can make it difficult to see reason...
Load More Replies...I just want to say, not all Christians are like this. I am a Christian. And I don't believe that any LGBTQIA+ lifestyle is a sin, or even a "choice". You are what you are. And I love you just that way. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that. Leave the judgement to God. Or, if you don't believe, which I also respect, just don't judge. Period. Live and let live. Love and let love.
God created us just the way he wanted us to be, so he wanted that person to be stupid and narrow-minded. No big deal.
I'm on a Facebook page called "why are Christians" and its full of cringy stuff like this.

Lol! I've had to explain to people that my wife and I can BOTH change light bulbs, kill spiders and somehow function daily without a man.
Don't kill spiders. They keep the other bugs under control. If you don't want them in the house, catch them and put them outside.
Load More Replies...Definitely. I know this because I am the spider disposal technician in our house, while he goes into another room
Load More Replies...Turn the jar upside down and spank it firmly once or twice. Works like a charm. I have arthritis (ex-mechanic) and not doing that means going hungry. Or just jamless.
I have this nifty little jar opener on the bottom of one of my kitchen cabinets. Just stick the top up in it and twist. You can get one for a couple bucks on Amazon. I have found it to be a much more cost effective way to open my jars than needing a "man" around to do it for me.

Miss My Masculine Ass With That Feminine Hygiene Sh*t
LMAO! Wuss. I learned early not to embarrassed by this. It shows others you are in a relationship woman. Because why would the guy need them? Now, I have a wife and 3 daughters. I have carried arm loads of these out of a store. This is the dumbest s**t to be embarrassed of.
I have bought female hygiene stuff for female friends when they were having pains and couldn't go to the store themselves. I really don't see the big deal.
Load More Replies...A Mom (who was an OB/GYN), 2 sisters, married twice and 4 daughters... yeah, tampons and other feminine products are not something I'm shy about buying as I had to raise 4 girls as a single dad for a few years so you kinda get that out of your fool head real quick!
This is like being embarrassed about buying condoms! Like, it means you're getting laid! Pass on the bag and just carry the box out, lol!
Some of my friends/family who have come to Norway to visit get shocked that there are condoms at the check out counter at the grocery stores here, right next to the gum and candy bars. It's so fun to watch their faces. One friend's husband was so weirded out by naked statues in a museum, we made it a point to take him to Frogner Park. I think it was a successful exposure-therapy outing.
Load More Replies...So a couple years ago I destroyed my leg, It was a mess involving years of surgeries and lots of home nursing and bloody gauze. etc. At home, I went to go throw the bloody gauze in the trash and the nurse said you probably need to put that in the container for human biohazards…I turned to her and asked how come I did not get that container once a month for my used tampons or pads??? She just stared at me with the weirdest look on her face. We are weird people
What's embarrassing about it? Seriously, bleeding happens. Get over it!
I was speaking to someone about someone having a baby and they didnt know they were pregnant. Them; 'how can women possibly not know, you have things that happen every month and it stops'. Me: '🙄 well some women don't get a regular period-' Them: 'eurgh end of conversation. I don't need to hear that' This was a male in their 50s who had kids...
Not sure what this has to do with homophobia, but, meh, I'll weigh in. I feel like this subject is another worthless male device used to shame women. Menses happens, fucktards, get over it.
I also hate it when males force females not to talk about their periods. 😤Ugh.
I think it is funny men find menstrual hygiene products embarrassing... when I was married I would go in to the store and buy them for my wife myself... Honestly, no one batted an eye... and even if they had... like what I am supposed to be embarrassed that I have a woman in my life?
Lol
If we aren't we should be. Treating ourselves with the kindness and respect we show to our loved ones would be an amazing standard to hold ourselves to.
Load More Replies...What exactly do they mean by "pro-gay propaganda?" Homophobes will simultaneously argue that sexuality is a choice AND that they never chose "straight." But, apparently, they also believe that being exposed to media depicting gay people will, what exactly, make them regret their choice to be straight? Change their minds so they "decide" to be gay? They're quite confused, aren't they?
Yeah, that's a damn good point! It's an obvious one, once you think about it( now why didn't I see that contradiction before?!) Why are people always so scared of things they don't know about/understand? I guess it would make too much sense, to at least try to learn about something first, before automatically thumpin a Bible at it with your eyes and ears closed.."..........

Yeah, but CLEARLY in a gay couple ONE is secretly a WOMAN and the other is a MAN /s
Load More Replies...Funny, I've always found that gay men get very few abortions. In fact, I've never heard of any of them having one.
I've seen a little stageplay where a gay guy played a girl who got an abortion some years back ... not sure if this counts, the same guy had played a fire spitting dragon the year after, and so far, no knight has shown up to behead him in reality, nor has he a basement jail to keep a princess in ... but then, again, his basement is such a mess ...
Load More Replies...I've searched far and wide but there is no part of me that can compute this. Even the dumb bit that enjoys blowing bubbles through a drinks straw isn't stupid enough. I give up.
Don't worry, other countries have their share of similar "thinkers". Greetings from Poland.
Load More Replies...Logic plays zero role in the lives of conservatives. Remember when marriage equality was going to entirely destroy heterosexual marriage? And people would immediately move to marrying animals of all kinds? Why do they never realize that their constant doomsday and slippery slope scenarios never, ever, ever, ever come to pass.
That makes no sense considering there are a good percentage of gay couples that tend to adopt children.

Honestly if i ever do a gender reveal the colors are going to be Black and White. Im not telling any mfs what gender is what.
I'd do a gender conceal. What's the gender? We don't know. You won't know either. But there will be cake.
Load More Replies...So good that gender reveal isn't a thing in my country, it sounds really stupid. Having 3 children I can honestly say that gender doesn't matter. All that matters is if the child is healthy.
I just invite folks over for cake. When I cut into the cake, nothing happens and I say, "F**k if I know the gender; I'm not even pregnant." C'mon, do I need a reason to eat yummy cake??
Not that I'm likely to have kids but if I ever had kids I'd have rainbow colours in a gender reveal as my kids can be anyone they want to be.
Please explain to me why a gender reveal is such a big thing? Are they doing it mostly to recieve gifts?
Hmm
Fair enough, but I think there’s a difference between supporting people and carrying out a religious ceremony to your god. I think it’s totally reasonable to expect total support and respect of the LGBTQIA+ community from religious leaders, but to effectively go to their god and perform a ceremony that in their religion undermines their god isn’t necessary. If there are priests that believe that that is ok in their beliefs then all power to them to perform the marriages, but expecting it of someone I think is not necessary. Just my opinion btw, and I 100% support the LGBTQIA+ community

It shows just how idiotic these bigots can be - he has views which differ from mine, therefore he's not a true [religious denomination to which I personally subscribe]. Man made god in his own image, because everyone has a different opinion of what god really wants and - coincidentally, or not - it fully aligns with *their* personal beliefs.
I guess the phrase “is the Pope Catholic“ doesn’t just mean it’s something obvious but it’s an actual question.
Does using literally make it MORE true? He is the Pope. Sigh, crazy kids. LLAP
Thats The Whole Point
That's so not true. A man will try even harder to get a lesbian into bed so that he can say he was such a sexy lover that he turned her straight.
Generally speaking, those men with a Neanderthal brain would only be like that with lesbians who they don't think are attractive, but they'd be begging for the chance to date an "attractive" lesbian. That's due to the fantasy scenarios they've watched constantly on porn over the years.... ;-)

Load More Replies...How are they showing this to kids, you ask? Television, sometimes shortened to TV or telly, is a telecommunication medium used for transmitting moving images in monochrome (black and white), or in color, and in two or three dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a television set, a television show, or the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports. Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s, but it would still be several years before the new technology would be marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the United Kingdom and United States, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion. In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introd- *thy cane yoinketh away*
When cartoons were first introduced, they were intended for adult audiences and filled with adult topics, adult themes and sexual innuendo. The Hayes Code put a stop to much of that. Fleischer Studios transformed its most famous character Betty Boop from sexy flapper to pretty school teacher. In the 1950s and 1960s, television became mainstream and the resulting demand for content brought many of these old cartoon shorts to children's programming, pre-Hayes Code versions included. Even today, animations intended for children often include adult topics. Whether these topics are appropriate for their children is up to the parents to decide.

gender reveals are bad anyway, you're pressing your idea of your kids identity on them before they're even born! sex does not equal gender and gender in of itself is a social construct
I agree, I've always thought that they're either highlighting the fact they don't view the genders equally, or if they believe in equality, then they're essentially celebrating genitals.

Put very simply: sex is the biological stuff, like genitals, hormones, and chromosomes. Gender is a wider spectrum that has to do with expression and presentation, like pronouns, names, and style of dress.
Load More Replies...or maybe just stop trying to force your beliefs regarding gender onto a child whether they are born biologically male or female is the point if they later on in life realise they are a different gender thats their to discover for themself. people should stop focusing so much on this and let people live their lives and stop trying to force others to believe the same thing they do
The Perfect Gender Reveal is..... When the Doctor who delivers the baby, announces if it is a Girl baby or a Boy baby. What ever. It is still a baby.

I would imagine that a straight person's motivation for telling a gay person that it's okay to be gay is to let them know that the straight person is an ally. Probably not the most effective way of communicating that fact, but it sounds like a straight person who is trying.
And force the bigots to confront their latent homosexual desires and possibly have a life-changing epiphany that will lead them to greater happiness? The audacity! We might even remind them that the term "gay" actually means "joyful" if we did that!
No, not everybody who's gay knows that it's okay to be gay. Some of the most vocal, bigoted, vicious homophobes are self-hating closeted homosexuals. We need to get the message to *everybody* that it's okay to be gay.
Maybe it should be 'I am okay with you being gay', just said in a clumsy way. (Poem was not intended)
lots of people feel like they will be judged if they come out.... so this lacks logic.
No it doesn’t. If straight people were ok with people being gay there would be no judgement and nobody would be afraid of coming out.

The Biggest Hetero Lie
What makes this specifically a "hetero" lie? Is there some misconception going around that same-sex relationships are healthier?
One myth that needs to be dispelled is that gay relationships are always functional and healthy. I came across a guy on the bus who was upset. He was open to tell people his boyfriend beats on him and is trying to get him to lose his job. Apparently this guy just got out of jail from a domestic, physical fight. So... yeah, there's unhealthy relationships no matter what the orientation is.
Indeed and I worked with a homosexual male who went from unhealthy to gym rat, suddenly decided he was better than his partner, and started cheating left and right. Human relationships can be messy, being LGBTQ+ doesn't automatically make you superior in a relationship. However they're probably way better in one than I am. I will fully cop to that

Seriously Help Yourself Before Committing To A Relationship
No. Nonononono. I hate this saying, I find ot extremely dangerous.

But some people arr still spilling bulls**t things like this and believe it being "romantic".
The dangerous part isn't that we believe we CAN change them, it's that we feel we are SUPPOSED to. Like, it's our job to take these broken @$$ men and fix them. And then we're left to feel like failures when we can't fix what's happy to stay broken. The entire belief is set up only to make women fail and keep the idea that men should be above us going.

It's like the whole Beauty and The Beast thing. You're not so special that you happen to be the one that breaks down the toxic personality of an abuser. As another analogy or example, the same trope is applied in equestrian movies with the one horse that ranch handlers are trying to "break" (tame/domesticate) but are unsuccessful, until a new visitor comes along (usually a soft spoken, angelic pretty girl) that seems to also be able to calm the horse and ride on it in no time.

Where? In my country you cannot ask a person their sexuality before donating blood. My best friend is a gay male and he never had issues. I hope that it changes in other countries.
This is true in the U.S. They don't ask sexuality, but they do ask if you're a man who has had sex with men. It is discriminatory, proliferates the idea of sex between men as unsafe/dirty, anti-science, and bars a lot of people from blood donation.
Load More Replies...In the UK the rule is "Men who have sex with men and who have had the same partner for 3 months or more are able to give blood. Anyone who has had a**l sex with a new partner or multiple partners in the last three months, regardless of their gender or their partner’s gender, must wait 3 months before donating."
Thank you Amy S. for sharing the information. To be clear, I don't agree with the rule (as I suspect you don't either) but I was curious where it came from. Since donor blood is tested for everything (even a cholesterol check in my area of the States:-) I don't think this rule is necessary and is discriminatory. However, I'm not a doctor. Maybe another Bored Panda who is knowledgeable about why this is still a rule would be kind enough to let us know?
Load More Replies...Truth. It's f****d up. Also, donated blood is tested for lots of things, include HIV. Most gay people don't have HIV, just like most straight people don't have HIV. Ditto for all other sexualities that men who have sex with men may identify with. To bar all sexually active men who sleep with men from donating blood is discrimination.
In Spain they test the donated blood. Donors may be sick without knowing.
A gay in a stable relationship for years isn't allowed to give blood but it's okay for the local whore to give blood. Even in Quebec, Canada gays cannot give blood. I thought we evolved beyond that.

Because honestly, I wouldn't mind getting some pics of pretty men kissing each other's butt whereas some heavy bondage-pics would be a bit much.

It honestly looks like a joke between a wife and husband. Humor and spontinatity.
I would laugh so hard though 🤣🤣🤣 I'm even thinking of making one for myself now. You can't judge this if you do not know the background
She should wash his undies with tons of soap and put them to dry without rincing them.
She hates your guts cuz you believe this is her place of work. I take a bit of pleasure in washing my own clothes, it's a sense of personal responsibility for my daily wearings.
Half of these are just sexist comments (which are terrible but not necessarily LGBTphobic) or gross generalisations about straight people. Bigotry needs to be fought but generalising all straights are sexist homophobes is contra producent. Also fails to acknowledge the extended biphobia in the gay world (I can’t tell my best friend that I am bi despite him being gay ).
Yes! Biphobia is a thing, and it get completely ignored. So many people just don't get that there are unique issues when it comes to discrimination against bisexual people. I'm sorry you cant talk to your friend, Burs. Maybe if you told them their reaction would be different than you are expecting? And, if not, is that really the kind of friendship you want to hang on to? I realize that's over simplifying things but, maybe something to consider. I hope things work out for you.

I´m gay and really dislike the LGBTQIA+ movement. As a teenager I did tons of volunteer works for WJNH the leading gay rights organisation in Belgium but I seriously got turned off of all of it. The zealotry of the current movement is more harmful than helpful.
I feel that its a small minority that isnthis extremist but sadly the loud hateful people is heard more than the reasonable ones
Load More Replies...I really did NOT think that by now we'd still have so many bigots against LGBTQ+ and people of non-European descent in my country (the US). I was a teenager in the 80s and although we didn't hear much about trans people, I had gay friends and we had pride parades. I never met a racist person. I was so naive to think only the oldest generation and a couple of quacks would have any lingering bigotry. It's also true about workplace sexual harassment. Young women think that raising awareness and fighting against it is new, which is really sad, because we were all aware of it 20 years ago. We thought THAT was the moment we would put an end to it.
