It's gay to walk quickly. It's gay to take your own bags to the shops. It's gay to have empathy.

Holy shit there are a lot of people out there who are very insecure with themselves.

    things people have took me I'm gay for:

    reading
    cooking
    cleaning
    being decently dressed (not even well-dressed)
    having skin care products
    using conditioner on my hair
    driving a sedan/compact car
    playing nintendo or jrpg games
    enjoying classic music/opera/theater/ art & foreign films owning a cat
    drinking cocktails/lattes/milkshakes
    riding/racing bicycles
    not playing team ballsports

    the definition of straight man is very very narrow for some folks, basically drive a giant truck, be unable to take care of yourself, and be into sports and action pop cuture, rock and roll/rap, and only ever do 'basic' things.

    if you do anything outside of the box, you're gay. because 'normal straight men' don't do those things, and if they do, they only do it to impress women or something. like I can go to the opera with my girlfriend and hate it, but if i go myself and enjoy it I'm gay.

    I can see how right-wing idiots might call empathy gay, but bags or walking quickly? I really don't get that.

    plenty of left-wing people think it's also gay.

    being a homophobe isn't exclusive to the right-wing.

    Fuck it isn't even exclusive to heterosexuals, I've met some gay men who can't stand "butch" lesbians and lots of queer people who hate bisexuality.

    I guess that's fair, but thinking that empathy is weakness (or something bad in general) is a predominantly right-wing idea. In fact, that's one of the main problems. The right has a severe lack of empathy.

    right, tell that to all the progressives in my state who are 'the left' who basically think if you weren't born rich you should fuck off and die. SUCH EMPATHY they have.

    but sure, they pretend to love the gays and trans and they love their pride flags on their porches... as long as they don't have to see any non-white gays or trans people...

    just like they love BLM, but they systematically freak out and oppose any development of public or low income housing....
