Maybe one should start a r/homosexualmen sub.

[–]lazy-summer-godSuper Gay[S] 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Or maybe bi men should start a sub for themselves.

[–]usehername 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

There already are several.

[–]lazy-summer-godSuper Gay[S] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why occupy gay and lesbian spaces, then?

[–]usehername 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I guess they just want to feel included and discuss MLM (cringe term, ik) related topics and don't know how much damage they're doing. This is why I also support a mixed space.

It will be b& within minutes.

Hey,give it a shot.

You could say that transmen are welcome as long as they are attracted to their own sex (female).They are men but this sub is for homosexual men.There.

A sub full of gay men and butch lesbians sounds like my kinda sub, if ya do make the sub I'd give it a follow 😂

You mistakenly assume that they really care about being included into this space. Nope, that's not the case at all. They want to be the ones in control of it, of any LGBT space, really. That's the only thing that matters to them.

So you would have to invite trans mods for it to be untouchable.

The word "gay" describes homosexual males, so they already have one.

[–]MyLongestJourney 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

It is not as accurate as homosexual.

[–]usehername 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

They're synonyms, so it is.

[–]reluctant_commenter 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Unfortunately I've seen some people use "gay" synonymously with "LGBTQ+".

[–]lovelyspearmintLesbeing a lesbian 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I had a friend who used called herself 'gay' around her parents because she said it was easier than to explain to them that she identifies as one of the flavours of LGBTQ+++++.

Cringe. Appropriation.

Huh? Sorry, did I miss something?

[–]MyLongestJourney 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Some lesbian women use the word gay to describe their sexuality despite not being male.A very famous example is Ellen Degeneres

[–]usehername 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

True, but to me it just seems like they're uncomfortable with the word "lesbian".

[–]MyLongestJourney 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Oh they are.
