#my gay straight boyfriend

[fifth-dimensional-furby]

I'm pretty secrue in my relationship, so I never thought it would happen but I finally had a dream about my boyfriend cheating on me. EXCEPT HE WAS SLEEPING WITH ANOTHER MAN??

His only response was if he was cute or not.

the “are bi women with boyfriends allowed at pride?” discussion is so stupid because it is a public event. straight couples are welcome at pride, so why tf would bi women not be allowed to bring their bf. its fine. the thing is i have never seen anyone argue to the contrary, and i surround myself with certified manhaters. it kind of feels like everyone is making up a guy (or lbr in this case woman) to be mad at. or at least being mad at a small amount of people. its like saying “the moon is NOT made of cheese!” like yeah thats true but you’re wasting you’re breath on an argument with an imaginary opponent

EVERYONE at my job is gay this is genuinely so awesome....

[crazylittlejester]

my hot take for the day is that I trust the average straight man more than straight women who romance astarion with their twink elf male tav who’s been modded to the extreme

[cowboy-caboodles]

listen… i’m not saying it’s gay but… calling a fella jackie? when their name is jack? suspicious…

People on this website don't get how little conservatives know about queer labels.

My parents still flinch when I say "queer" and assumed I would be blacklisted if I worked for an organization with "queer" in the title

When I came out as bisexual, they thought I meant poly with two partners (ironically, I am also poly with two partners. Surprise 2 for 1 coming out special!)

Two years later (I'm a cis woman): "You know, if you're dating a guy and a girl to keep us happy, you don't have to. We've made up our minds. We're okay with you picking the girl." That's not how poly works, but thanks? For accepting her? "Yes, she said she wants children." I see, gender is irrelevant compared to grandchildren

They thought trans woman meant someone AFAB who wants to be a man. "Why did someone say I was using the wrong pronouns? I wasn't this time, I was being very careful." oof.

Then they got suspicious of how many times I casually brought up trans friends in conversation to help them understand. Rightly so, because one of my partners is trans and isn't out yet. Unfortunately, they guessed this. Fortunately, they guessed the wrong partner. Why? "Because isn't she bisexual? Doesn't that mean she's trans? Because you're a woman, and one of you has to be the man in the relationship."

Someday, they will figure out what bisexual means. After all, they may be closer than they think. My mom told me that of course all people are attracted to men and women, being straight is a choice.

I love reading essays about bisexuality but it is crazy how we’ve been have the same conversations for over thirty years. Bisexuals have been critiquing the ‘straight passing’ narrative since the 90s (and I’m sure longer) and yet I still have to see it any time bisexuals are mentioned in queer spaces. Like.

(From ‘Challenging the Stereotypes’ by Amanda Udis-Kessler, Bisexual Horizons 1996)

I find it really striking that she says that biphobia from within the community ‘gets in the way of bisexuals working for lesbian/gay rights and dignity’ because I see a lot of people talking about how biphobia from within the community isn’t oppression and I’m not gonna argue about whether it is or not but it absolutely does deny us our dignity.

People constantly make fun of the way that bi people are desperate to affirm their queerness like mocking bi girls who talk about liking women and being bisexual while having a boyfriend with no mention of the fact that that insecurity is based in the constant belittling and ridiculing of bisexual people within the community.

Bisexuals are always always seen as traitors or tryhards or both. We cannot win we can’t do anything right. (Except decide that we’re actually gay or straight)

alex is so real for not realizing he was bi despite the amount of times he was clearly checking out and appreciating other men. it really do be like that.

aurghhh ok still rewatching '97 and the way guts and casca only have the room to breathe and really come to understand and care for each other in griffith's absence because he has such a strong hold over them both.... and the way their mutual dedication to him is what causes them to bicker for years (casca thinks he's not serving him well enough, guts thinks she doesn't get that he cares/how much he cares, casca's jealousy over griffith's feelings for guts, how he won his heart without even trying or being aware of it or doing anything with it) and is also a big part of what brings them together (earlier when guts deviates from the plan to save griffith and she commends him, in the cave casca opening up about griffith and her's past, showing that vulnerability, while it's mostly confrontational, leads to guts kinda getting her better, and his efforts to save and protect her (falling off the cliff with her, taking on the 100 men so she can escape, encouraging her to return to griffith so she can help him because it's what she feels she's meant to do (her dream, the direction in life guts shares and yet is questioning because of griffith's speech at the fountain, whether or not it's enough to serve him if it means he'll never be a true friend in griffith's eyes because he's not an equal), supporting the idea of her being with griffith/being his most important person like he won't because he doesn't view it as a competition like she has been since day one) leading to her realizing that he's kind of not that bad a guy and they have a lot more in common that she thought. and how the bonfire of dreams conversation is guts opening up to her in kind, the answer to her talking about how griffith saved her, how she feels. how neither of them ever call it love but it's something they know they both have for griffith. how it's something they're beginning to have for each other, different in ways they couldn't put a word to. because they're equals this time. the way griffith kind of becomes less and less important as they find other reasons to live and fight, as they become less singularly obsessed with him. how griffith is unable to stand it, guts' personhood, that agency and peer-to-peer equality he claimed to want (and perhaps truly did) that disappeared guts from his life, his plans, his side. how it barely even matters to griffith how casca changes because he never wanted her like she wanted him. god i can't fucking stand their shakespearean nonsense drama (<- hopelessly in love with their interpersonal dynamics)

I am so tired of how Quotev/Wattpad level fanfiction, written by what reads as a 15 year old getting into their first fandom, gets pushed up the book ratings in the gay romance genre (m/m). Why is Red White and Royal Blue always at the top. Why is Boyfriend Material. Why must I suffer. Where are the standards. Why is a 30/40 year old recommending me, a grown adult man, stories that feel like they were written for highschoolers who don't like to read so they pick up the trashiest, most easily digestible shit in order to have the bare minimum of fun while doing their reading interpretation project for class.

This is coming from someone who had fun reading goddamn Twilight by the way. I'm not a book snob. I can enjoy objectively bad media if it's fun. My favourite book series with LGBT main characters is All For The Game, and that's a shitshow! But at least there's passion in it! There's fun!

I am going insane!!!!!

Yes I know they're all bisexual but just for fun <3

Was talking with my dad about how he’s the only family member I can really crack my gay jokes with and he starts telling me how important it is that I have non-family friends to be my unfiltered self around (in far less articulate words). It made me think of one of his friends, which he enthusiastically confirmed that I needed someone just like that and.

Father are you telling me I need someone to have homoerotic tension with to the point of distressing both our heterosexual partners?

it's time for everybody's favorite pride month tradition: the stupidest fucking discourse you've ever seen in your life about who is and is not capable of understanding the lived experience of gay and trans people

Going to visit the more conservative side of my gf's family who she's 0% out to sucks but it's also kinda funny bc like. I only have three presentation modes I can possibly pass as: turbodyke, genderfucker, or cis man. I can't look like the first one around that side of her family since she's not out as a woman to them so my presentation automatically loops back around to one of the other two in trying to avoid it, and since I'm specifically trying to NOT look queer it usually means I get read as a cis man—which completely defeats the purpose bc then I get people asking if I'm her gay boyfriend. Last time we were preparing to visit them I put on an unassuming T-shirt and jeans, looked in the mirror, and just told her "I don't think I'm beating the gay boyfriend allegations"
