[–]OPPRESSED_REPTILIANIntersex male | GNC | Don't call me "a gay", "twink" or "queen" 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

No, never. I've never known a homosexual "public figure" who wasn't a narcissist or otherwise toxic. I mean, let's see, what are my choices? Drag queens? "Beauty gurus" or "influences" like Jeffree Star and James Charles? Woke "activists" who preach about how we all need to suck the dead dicks of stonewall rioters and/or that getting AIDS was brave and stunning?

Neither of those are good role models.

I don't really look up to anyone. I used to, until I met those people and always found out they were actually assholes. But if I had to pick a role model it would be a straight one.

In general, there seems to be a major generational disconnect among LGB people.

Finally, someone is starting to get it. Now, can I exist for a minute as an unhappy homosexual in my 20s without hearing some boomer have a tantrum about how I need to "remember and support my gay elders" and be thankful for Stonewall, an event which happened before I was born in an entirely different country? To be blunt I don't care about the "activism" of the past or "gay culture." I can barely keep up with the present.

Maybe if there were people like me being public with their life then they'd be a kind of "role model" to me. But do you know what happens to everyone who publicly admits "being homosexual sucks, I'm in pain, and here's how I'm trying to change it so I can live a happy life"? They get censored, silenced, and "canceled" by BOTH "sides" (Meaning both "LGB" and "TQ")

So... good luck with that

This is getting somewhat off-topic, but can I ask you a dumb question? By what means do you think you can change your sexual orientation? Like, do you believe that conversion therapy works?
