      51. We really don’t mind straight people at gay bars if you respect the space and behave yourself. I’ve seen screaming bachelorette parties do tourist runs through gay bars though and that’s just not ok

      52. Old Town Road is a goddamned country song and it’s hilarious//depressing that the world had a conniption fit when a gay black man almost had the number one charting country hit

      53. Openly queer people who aren’t white have Been Through Some Shit to get where they are and you’ll probably never fully appreciate how rough it was

      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

      55. The best queer coming out scene in all of cinema is the Blue Raja coming out as a superhero to his mom in Mystery Men. It’s coded very generally so it works for everybody, and Mom navigates it beautifully and supportively

      56. As a species we have let tons of people in Africa die of AIDS because Republicans decided that HIV is the plague God made to kill all the gays, let them die, who cares about trying to cure it lol

      57. Horny gay men behave just as callously towards potential sex targets as horny straight men, and often worse because fairly often they find another horny bad actor and get rewarded instead of being consistently slapped in the face every time

      58. Gay dating apps are a hellscape and make everyone who uses them look at sex transactionally instead of connectively

      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

          By queer SF standards, yes :)
