Why are they so obsessed with being us when they clearly hate us?

Because under queer theory, we’re supposed to be the vanguard of subversion and deconstruction, but when push came to shove, most homosexuals said “no, my attraction is objective and immutable.”

They don't get that what makes "gay culture" is the fact that we all experience same-sex attraction and how that reality shapes our lives. The "gay stereotypes" that they co-opt like drag and lesbian fashion' are things that we created to find each other in a heterosexist world NOT the things that define our group. Straight people larping as their drag version of the worst stereotypes straight people have of gay culture.
