the actual news footage is offensive. not the guy commenting.
but yeah uh... oh my god...
"you have a bunch of gay men together, hanging out. this is like a pressure cooker."
gay people can hang around each other without fucking like wild animals, can have straight or gay friends for that matter- hang out with them for years- consecutively, and never once bang a single one of them. gay or straight.
same thing with straight on straight friends.
*facepalm* it's just an equality issue because it's once again showing the confusion that "straight people" have about gay people, in assuming we aren't just like them. when we are.
we're capable of having an entire group of friends- and not fucking any of them. not being attracted to them. gay or straight. because that isn't how love and attraction works- you don't want to just fuck every piece of flesh standing around you simply because you can. you want to be with someone when they are someone special to you that you have a genuine connection with and you fall in love with, and want to be with. romantically, sexually, and yeah.
that connection, physical attraction, etc, doesn't happen between just anyone you fucking meet. gay or straight. gay on gay. straight on straight. people are capable of being friends, just because they're both gay women or gay men doesn't mean shit all.
*face palm face palm face palm*
and also-
when the reporter was like, "well you don't just turn a switch!"
inferring that he can't possibly love his wife because of the fact he's gay.
yes she's correct, you can't just turn a switch, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of loving a woman. he may not have feelings for her in the same way he has feelings for a man- but that doesn't mean he's incapable of a romantic connection with this woman.
I think this is society trying to understand when someone's sexual identity is very "mix-matched" and mis-matching of strange qualities- like for example, being romantically capable of having connection that is deep and meaningful with both genders, and then more of a 75% attraction to one gender sexually and a 25% attraction to another gender sexuality, and those scales can tip back and forth, waxing and waning from time to time. or it may stay the same for someone who knows and stay at that 75 25 ratio most all of the time.
but it doesn't make one connection any less meaningful, important, than the other. because love and attraction doesn't truly exist on a number scale, and when someone is "it" they are *it* you know what I mean?
gay people aren't incapable of being in straight relationships, it just means how they will be in those relationships will be different from a heterosexual, because they're over all a different kind of person.
but to avoid stereotyping- like this news commercial thing did a very poor job of staying away from-
they tried to make fun of the fact they were making cookies together- as if that's something a heterosexual male would *never* do.
I think this notion is ridiculous and archaic, and just flat out stupid and immature. men can bake cookies with their wife. gay men, can like wrestling, and sports, and be very macho.
gay people can do whatever they want, just because they look or act a certain way doesn't mean someone is gay, it doesn't mean someone isn't gay. please stop stereotyping so much we really don't like it!!
