Gay MenSome of you may believe I’m being overdramatic here, but it really sucks having to wake up to everyday and be reminded that my sexuality that I’ve fought to no end to get my family and friends to accept is being actively appropriated by straight women who fetishise gay men.

Yeah, when trans people are forever whining about "chasers", why should they think that gay MEN wanna be fetishized, either? It's insulting and demoralizing.

This is so obvious yet I never realized it. But you're right. We're being fetishized for our ability of validating them.

So well-put! Yes: that's it exactly. Gay men are being used as props in the service of these fetishists' creepy delusion. That you guys couldn't be less interested in them if you tried is irrelevant. It's all about THEIR precious fee-fees... and, in particular, their demand for a guy who's exclusively male-attracted, so if he fucks 'em if MUST mean they're 100% Real ManTM ! Yeah, no way is it because their harassment and guilt-tripping and hordes of flying-monkey wokesters FORCED him or anything! Who even cares about stuff like being canceled and death threats, right?

I wish there was some way these horrid women could be convinced that, if their rapist ambitions are realized... HE'S NO LONGER GAY. She de-gayed him! Well, what self-respecting Gayden wants that? Defeats the whole purpose! So better leave the gay men alone, then. Wouldn't wanna make their fantasy-fodder go extinct, now would they?

Of course, they should REALLY stop this shit just cuz it's, yanno, evil... but that's probably too much to ask :(

It must not be that obvious because your way of putting it helped me realize it! Thank you.

Ugh. Yet another reason why I don't want come out.

Cheering for you, hope you manage to come out eventually. The LGBT community might be full of TRAs, but there are still plenty of actual LGB people out there. Feel free to send a message if you need someone to talk!

Thank you, I appreciate it. And I might take you up on that later today if you don't mind.

Yep they’re not claiming to be attracted to men generally but gay men specifically. It’s the gay aspect they’re fetishizing. Whereas we actually gay and bisexual people are attracted to members of the same sex regardless of their sexual orientation, though obviously we’re not creepy, fetishizing, and entitled enough to pursue heterosexual members of the same sex.

And it’s so backwards because it’s their fetish for gay men that they think is a sign they’re gay men, when gay men don’t work like that at all.
