Like I’m new to this area and I’m just trying to find new friends it is so fucking disrespectful to go into an environment marketed as a way to make friends and find ppl to attend pride with. Its so predatory and selfish to take that safe space and turn it sexual (we had 5 minutes with each person)

Unicorn hunters are a couple where one person is typically bi/pan and the other can be bi/pan but is normally a straight person. In my experience it’s normally a bi/pan woman dating a straight man and they go to queer events together. This sadly isn’t the first time I have run into unicorn hunters at a queer event but this is the first time the queer event was centered around building friendship

I personally think couples like them are part of the reason why the straight boyfriend at pride discourse is so prominent. Like I know this experience is definitely going to make me more hesitant around straight/straight presenting couples at queer events because it made me so uncomfortable. Like there were other couples at this event but the other couples were sapphic relationships and not straight/straight presenting

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with straight presenting couples going to an event like this to make friends if they are queer. However, it’s extremely rude and disrespectful to look for a hookup for your relationship at an event like this. I’m sorry that happened to you :(

I don’t disagree that there is anything wrong with them going, I’m just saying in the future I feel like I’m going to have to be more hesitant around straight/straight presenting couples going it’s just about respecting the space
