I have the privilege to be in friend groups where being gay is completely normalized so that aspect of me doesn't make me feel odded out but my point wasn't that and LGB person can't be a weirdo or a nerd but that the gay part isn't what makes them weird. I hope you found/find your people.

Most people I'm around don't make me specifically feel weird about being gay, and I'm lucky to be married, but I feel like there are a lot of INSANE LGBT+ (mostly really QT+) types in my small left-leaning city and they consistently communicate that if you aren't an anarchist freak, you're not gay. They make me worry for my future. I feel like I am more likely to be attacked by this group than your traditional homophobic bigot, and It would really give me comfort to find some normal LGB people because with straight allies I feel like 50% of the time in liberal places they are also supporting the radical QT+ over the LGB.
