Hey jsyk, your sexuality should not be your personality If it’s relevant bring it up If it’s not don’t And nobodies partner should be their personality either… If it’s relevant bring it up If it’s not don’t

Queer people are tired of hearing this. Straight people do this all the time and no one cares. Trust me gay people are not making their sexuality their personality anyway, at least not in environments where their safety is at risk.

This is pretty disingenuous because you can say the say the same about race and it’s pretty microagressive. Just like a black person cant ignore the fact that they are black because they face hardships in the place of systemic racism. A queer person can face hardships due to heteronormativity and gender essentialism. Just like a women can’t ignore the fact that that they are women because of the hardships she faces often just gender roles and misogyny.

See, it isn’t really about sexuality, now is it? It’s about homosexuality. A straight guy says ‘my girlfriend’ and it doesn’t even register with you. A gay guy says ‘my boyfriend’ and suddenly we’re talking about sexuality. This is the problems with ‘talking about sexuality’. Straight people do it every day, you just don’t realize it. So it’s really only a problem when gay people do it.

This isn’t about ‘making sexuality your personality’ it’s actively raising g awareness and fighting against a system actively attempting to strip the rights of members in the queer community. The fact people like you say this further justifies why awareness is needed.

I can’t look at both sides when blk queer and women have been oppressed and still are few to laws and the correct administration that’s taking precedence rn which affects how people interact with other ppl just because someone has pins of the lgbt flag or say me too. It’s part of their identity just like culture and experience one faces…

i mean, being gay, lesbian, bi, what have you does affect people in life more than just in the bedroom. People’s safety is at risk, and it’s really disheartening to see all the anti LGBTQ policies going into place in the current political climate. Why do people get to regulate our lives and sexualities when people don’t like it when we even talk about it? ultimately it’s a facet of our personality and us as people, but those who hate it boil us down to JUST gay or JUST lesbian, not whole people.

when you say conversations about sexuality and are including straight people, is it like conversations around sex? because normally when people say that without the specification they mean talking about queerness, so i think people might not know what you mean here, like what the problem is

Possibly, though I think in the absence of opposition it will just become a normal thing and people won’t really think about it as a separate concept. A big part of pride is defiance against suppression imo. But yeah it will live a long time because the suppression also lived for a long time lol

I feel like the people who express themselves more are the ones who have felt unable to do so previously. They felt like they can’t be themselves for a long time and it gets pent up, so that when they finally get to be their true selves, it comes out a lot stronger. I don’t blame them for that at all

People cannot be separated from culture. That's a fact of humanity. You should not be upset by someone talking about their culture. If their mannerisms are inconsiderate that's a different story, but if it's just their identity in an applicable context, there is no need to be in a tizzy

Gosh - anyone notice that 4 completely disappeared? I hope I didn’t say anything wrong! He was big on agreeing with OP in that “I think it’s just the constantly talking about it part..they mold it onto themselves and make the community look bad”. I got a little confused/worried, so I brought up how my grandma brings up her Mexican background often…but that to me, it doesn’t mean she has ‘no personality outside of being Mexican’ she’s just sharing about her loved ones, community, culture, etc.

Be real, no gay person brings up their sex out of blue, your issue is seeing a different form of sexuality that doesn’t conform to your world view.

Why do queer people have to have events about who they prefer to sleep with or who they're attracted to?? Straights don't do that- hence the "you make it your personality" accusations

If you’re talking about pride month it’s because they actually had to fight for the right to legally marry their same sex partner and other rights essential for LGBTQ+ people to live normal lives. “Straights” don’t have a pride month to themselves because they’ve never had to fight for these rights obviously, so there was nothing to overcome and thus nothing to celebrate. You are the norm, the status quo. If you’re so pressed about that go make a pride month for yourself and leave us alone.

because being queer is about community not just “who they prefer to sleep with”. god forbid i wanna hang out with people who are like me and share my experience. in my case i run events for trans people cos i often connect with other trans people better than i do with most cis people.

if you’re idea of queer events is narrowed just down to our sexuality then you genuinely have no knowledge on what the queer community is let only minority communities in general
