Honestly, I get the joke, but I think the stereotype that queer relationships are inherently less prone to toxicity than hetero ones is at times a bit harmful.

I've heard plenty of accounts of toxic, if not right downright abusive, gay and lesbian relationships.

no i don’t disagree im just shitpostin’ and been drinkin a little

i think the grain or two or three of truth is that hetero ones tend to have a higher baseline of harmful shit ya gotta unlearn. but the trope can easily veer into model minority type shit and also just like minimize the bad (or even abusive like you said) experiences queer people can have in relationships.
