Exact same behaviour with a partner in public completely different reactions depending if it's a same sex or hetero partnership. I'm no more throwing sex in people's face when I put my arm around a woman than I am when I put it around a man, but only one of those scenarios gets me shouted at by strangers. And it's significantly safer for two women to do that than two men. I didn't imagine those people shouting at me, I didn't misunderstand the people who thought I was straight and felt safe to call LGBT people unnatural and disgusting in my presence.

To think straight pride is to just rub the gays nose in it, is one hell of a persecution complex you've got going on. There's no such thing as straight pride just for the record, we've got the AVN awards that'll do us.

What else could straight pride possibly be? It serves no purpose. Every single day of the year is straight pride ffs, no one ever tries to tell straight people there's anything bad about being straight, it's a total farce and would absolutely not exist if gay pride didn't, but the reverse is not true.

Pride and all these LGBT group etc focus on your sexual orientation like it's what defines you, it's not but if pigeon hole yourself as it seems you have you'll end up feeling like you do. Society isn't trying to change you and most people don't care what sex you are, start throwing your sex in their face and you'll get a reaction but just act like the ordinary man in the street and nobody will bat an eyelid at you.

A gay friend of mine outright refuses to go to any of the Pride marches/events, says they're beyond cringe-worthy and re-enforce stereotypes. Which I totally agree with tbh. I can imagine thinking the same in his shoes of some hypothetical Hetro-pride parade and the types that that would attract.

beach_walker wrote: » Well... at a stab in the dark, I'd say it's because the FBI are investigating the shooter, his background, movements etc. They didn't say he definitely wasn't gay. Just that a lot of what was initially reported hasn't stood up so far, and there's no indication that he was. I mean I'd put more stock in them than random Tweets/soundbites in the immediate aftermath from random people.

Lt Dan wrote: » Eh, it was announced by reliable sources that he was gay. He knew the layout of the club pretty well as well Why are the gay community so desperate to deny it? Either way, it was a terrorist attack, it was targeted at people because they were gay. It is irrelevant that the culprit was gay himself.
Canard wrote: » I don't think it was? He had a wife and I think a kid. And as said above, he could easily have been visiting it to know the layout. I don't care if he was gay or not, it changes nothing about the attack, what I didn't like was the way so many people were just dying for him to be gay and the idea that homophobic people in general are gay, as if it all comes from gay people like. But yeah, it's irrelevant really.
Lt Dan wrote: » Yes, because been married and having children is loike, so clear that one is not , like, gay. Martial status proves little. I think you will find that it is the gay community and their supporters who are "dying" for the story to be rubbish.Read the comment sections from the attached articles. It suits the agenda that a person wasn't killing , as other poster pointed out, "one of their own". The milisecond that his sexuality was called into question the Gay Community went into over drive to deny the possibility.
