YES. It definitely bothers me. Heard a straight acquaintance make a comment recently about how "gays are so FUN" and I was like... dude, relax...

On the other hand, anything involving trans, non-binary, asexual, queers is handled with kid gloves.

Okay, wait I have noticed this too. People I know seem very casual about making broad generalizations about gay/lesbian people (bisexuals ignored), yet no one would dare mention anything trans-related unless to seem overtly positive (often in a virtue-signalling way)... Why is there such a double standard? I mean, obviously there is a ton of censorship in the media and socially around trans topics-- you can only say the "right" things or you'll be lambasted and socially shunned. But how the fuck do so many people mentally justify talking up all kids of stereotypes about gay/lesbian people at the same time?

Sorry, I didn't really answer your question. But I would also like to know. It's starting to get on my nerves.
