[–] Kilometers_OBrien@startrek.website 20 points 2 years ago* (4 children) Shame on those damn straights for choosing to be attracted to their opposing sex. Let's disrespect them because of their inferiority. (Can you see how toxic and weird that sounds?) permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* Alternatively: people have gone out of their way to foster a space where LGBTQIA+ people feel comfortable. In a world full of heteronormativity, this is a bubble where they can truly be themselves. It’s one of the few places where a gay dude can flirt with another dude, without the fear of being punched in the mouth just for being gay. And then a straight guy walks into the gay bar, and starts a fight when another dude tries to flirt with him. He starts ranting about how it’s not okay to assume he’s gay, and that he feels oppressed for being straight. He wants the heteronormativity to extend even into LGBTQIA+ spaces, despite the fact that he could go to literally any other bar in town and not have this issue. Instead, he has chosen to make a scene at the gay bar, because he’s upset it’s a gay bar. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Stovetop@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 11 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago How is providing an additional inclusive option disrespectful?
