It's all just stereotypes, of course. Maybe they like theater, Lady Gaga, and going to pride together.

I have a "not like other girls" "queer" friend who is just a straight woman who says she's bi on Facebook, goes to pride, and did drag twice. She only dates and desires men, has rainbow tattoos, blue mohawk, etc. If someone saw the two of us they'd say she was the lesbian and not me.

It’s as if people like your friend see being gay or bisexual as a hobby rather than a possession of a natural characteristic.

I mean this does seem to be how 99% of the nb scene views gay things - as subculture instead of an identity.

And nb people wonder why a lot of gay people don’t like them.

Yup - gay is a funky costume for her.

She's currently interested in performing as a drag queen instead of king. Her friends are all hyping her up because "the point of being LGBTQ+ is the freedom to be who you want."

Want.

Not who you innately are.

Want.

I'm pretty sure the whole point of being LGBTQ+ is being sexually attracted to the same, opposite, both, or neither sex. I swear to god, if tomorrow morning gay rights were reversed back to how it was in the 1950s, these "queers" would become homophobes overnight.

They're homophobes right now.

Yes, but they would become honest homophobes.
