I think the other issue with the "branding" mentality is the idea that homophobia can only come from a right-wing, Christian viewpoint. I got into the worst kind of argument--a facebook argument--with a woman about gay mean needing to stop using their "misogyny" as an excuse for not dating trans men. Her ace in the hole to rebut me was that she was QuEeR, not some Republican Christian, and proceeded to dismiss my talk about conversion therapy as dealing with "a mean camp counselor."

People are not interested in understanding what it means to be a homosexual, just that it is dragglitterkinkyfabulousness, and they are dragglitterkinkyfabulous queers who like makeup and sex.

this whole "gay men are misogynists" thing is turning into a meme because straight women on twitter are engaging in oppression olympics against gay white men because they sort of forgot that theyre literally heterosexuals and spent 2000 years committing murder against gays along with their heterosexual male buddies whom the fuck and have babies with. Gay men ruin their "we're the biggest victims" vibe.
