I've been on the other end of that, and the gay guys accept a "no" thrice as fast as the Jehovahs do.
Pro tip: tell Jehovah's Witness that you used to be a Witness, but you quit. They will 180 super fast as those who quit are ostracized for life
Very true.
Oh no they do not lmao. Y'know how women always complain about men not taking no for an answer? You think that's only "the straights?" There's for sure pushy gay men that will bother you all night (or for 3mo if you're 12 and he's 16). Pushy women exist too, one literally told me "no you don't understand, this is going to happen" and like, could I have physically stopped her? Yes, but you try explaining a physical altercation with your roommates girlfriend to the police and see how that goes, eh? Easier to let her have her way with me I guess. Men at least you can fight if they do touch you.
Now, pushy gays are less common than JW and Mormon door knockers combined of course, so the religious are more frequent, but the biggest reason IME that gays may persist where the religious fear to tread is when the religious come to my door I can either politely give them SubGenius pamphlets and that freaks 'em out but good, or I can be an absolute dickhead and say edgy shit like Hail Satan, or otherwise mock their religion like "Joseph Smith is a liar yadda yadda," BUT for the gays you can only be polite when declining, if you're a dick about it you get called homophobic by people who didn't hear the other 7 times tonight that Mike has tried to peer pressure my dick into his mouth.
