WTF, why is everyone telling him to be considerate and think about her feelings?!?! She's a fag hag, her feelings don't matter, she's using you.

Are you a gay man and independent, or are you her boyfriend?

Older/experienced gay men who are here ... you need to help your younglings. Baby gays are getting all fucked up in the head and thinking they need to act like straight dudes.

As a gay man in his mid 30s, I'm not sure if I qualify as an older gay man, but I'll respond nonetheless haha.

Two sayings come to mind, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink," and, "there are none so blind as those who refuse to see." At some point the younger gay guys and the woke gay guys have to see for themselves that they are chasing clouds, that their ideas for how the world works, or how they think it should work, are wrong. Until they are at least open to that possibility, that they could be wrong about some really big and important things, they will only hear their own voices. It would be quixotic for me to attempt to change their minds.

I absolutely agree with you and understand what you're saying. We can only teach and tell and share so much, it ultimately up to individual people to learn and grow and be better on their own.

Until they are at least open to that possibility

They will not be open to that possibility unless we show them that it exists. THAT'S what I'm talking about. It's not about us changing their minds, it's about us showing them that something else is real so they can decide for themselves.
