54. I’m super not cool with men who fetishize the idea of “turning” straight men. You getting “have you tried not being gay” for years does not give you a license to “have you tried not being straight” someone else

59. Queer people in San Francisco are hyper-aware that they’re being gentrified out of the city, to the point that you can find “QUEERS HATE TECHIES” stencil-painted onto sidewalks. It makes being a rich queer person kinda weird

60 When non-rich queer people in SF figure out that you’re a rich queer person, they aggressively test you to find out if you are actually weird/subcultural/interesting enough that your presence is net positive. I’m not sure what would have happened to me if I had failed the test
