    This is one of the things that pisses me off. A cis/straight person complaining about a gay relationship in a movie. “They keep trying to force it down our throats” while there are literally thousands of CIS/Straight relationships flaunted everywhere every day in everything everywhere. Fucking hypocrisies.

    Had a group of Christians approach me while i was looking at nail polish in an Ulta. Even after i said no thank you as politely as an angel they still insisted on letting me now their imaginary friend loved me. If anyone in the lgbt+ community acted like that in public Christians would call it grooming.

      Weeeeeelllll

      When I was a kid (12-13, in middle school) we shared a school bus with a local high school. One of the fellows on the bus was indeed a gay “man” (16-17 maybe), who was real good with computers, introduced me to Linux (though I wouldn’t run it myself for about 10yr.) Well, I was interested in computers, and he used this to become friends with me. Over the year-or-so we hung out some outside of school, but he kept showing me (straight) porn and we’d watch it together (mind you I’m 12-13 and he’s 16-17), and trying to get me to engage sexually with him, lines like “how do you know you’re not gay if you never tried it” and stuff like that. If that ain’t grooming idk what is, it didn’t take on me but he tried so hard. Btw, this 16-17yo kept telling me about a 30ish-yo that was doing the same to him (plus feeding him alcohol and gaining access to gay clubs in town underage,) so there’s an element of passing it on.

      I’m just saying, male on young male grooming isn’t not a thing…

        What was the point of you posting an anecdote like this

        Are you trying to suggest that your anecdote is indicative of other’s reality?

        Or are you just trying to tell us about that time you watched porn with a dude

          But I can’t call literal actual grooming “grooming?” Why not? What if I was 16 showing porn to and trying to fuck a 12yo girl, would it be grooming then, Greg?

          Like it or not, gay people can do bad things too, just because I’m not The Truman Show™ doesn’t mean that something similar hasn’t happened to countless kids. Funny how so many people care about child molestation when they picture a straight guy doing it but the second it gets a little intersectional everyone gets uncomfortable.

          Fuck you for trying to minimize my experiences btw.

          It is a data point though, and really is anecdotes because there have been multiple pushy gay men I’ve met.

          But like, really? Woman says “men can be pushy” “yeah for sure,” man says “men can be pushy” “anecdotes are not data?” Then the women’s anecdotes aren’t either, we sure we wanna play this game?

    When I was 19yo, we saw a couple of mormon fellows making the rounds. My gf suggested we get ready to answer the door naked as though they interrupted us having sex. I can’t remember what happened, so that probably means they didn’t knock on our door. My memory is also shit due to years of drugs and alcohol plus ADHD. It would have been funny, though.

    Religious knockers get an automatic, “Get fucked,” from me today. The fucking arrogance of coming to my home to tell me that I’m wrong and you’re right is baffling.

    The saddest part of all of it is that it affected transphobia a lot, since trans women were painted as gay men tricking straight men in order to convert them to homosexuality. Bigots just realized they can divide the conquer the queer community once enough of the gays started to forget some of the details of the past.

    Has a gay person ever knocked on your door to convert you?

    No, but I imagine it would make a whole lot of Republican secret wishes come true.

    Sidebar, I had a friend who specifically went after straight guys, double points if they had a girlfriend or wife. Strange fetish and a little unethical but to each their own. But to the point, he didn’t go door to door knocking. Club to club maybe.

        Pro tip: tell Jehovah’s Witness that you used to be a Witness, but you quit. They will 180 super fast as those who quit are ostracized for life

        Oh no they do not lmao. Y’know how women always complain about men not taking no for an answer? You think that’s only “the straights?” There’s for sure pushy gay men that will bother you all night (or for 3mo if you’re 12 and he’s 16). Pushy women exist too, one literally told me “no you don’t understand, this is going to happen” and like, could I have physically stopped her? Yes, but you try explaining a physical altercation with your roommates girlfriend to the police and see how that goes, eh? Easier to let her have her way with me I guess. Men at least you can fight if they do touch you.

        Now, pushy gays are less common than JW and Mormon door knockers combined of course, so the religious are more frequent, but the biggest reason IME that gays may persist where the religious fear to tread is when the religious come to my door I can either politely give them SubGenius pamphlets and that freaks 'em out but good, or I can be an absolute dickhead and say edgy shit like Hail Satan, or otherwise mock their religion like “Joseph Smith is a liar yadda yadda,” BUT for the gays you can only be polite when declining, if you’re a dick about it you get called homophobic by people who didn’t hear the other 7 times tonight that Mike has tried to peer pressure my dick into his mouth.

    They probably mean in the media portraying lgbt relationships. A lot of right wingers think it’s too much. Imagine saying that to on-screen interracial relationships…
