Gross. Homosexuals don't benefit from being told their sexual orientation isn't real. It's quite offensive actually.

    I was just thinking the same thing. It’s never, “Well, Ted, you might find yourself wanting to suck a dick later. Don’t limit yourself.” It’s only every directed at gays and lesbians.

    It might sound crazy, but among people my age in IRL conversations, I actually have heard that message directed at straight people! A few times, I heard the straight person state clearly that they know what they like and just aren't interested in the same sex like that, but support those who do. Other times, I heard the straight person express that they are "openminded" and seem open to the sexual fluidity idea, despite having no same-sex interest.

    I don't think it's even remotely as common as TQ-identified people trying to shame and pressure gay people into saying our sexuality is "fluid," but... I really do think that in gen Z and younger, this actually is happening. Then you end up with confused straight people like Helena who think they're bi/gay but aren't. LGB people don't have a monopoly on questioning their sexualities, but many people in gen Z seem to think that if you question you might be X, then you must be X.

    They never, ever bring it up with straight people.

    They're slowly trying to get straight people to "accept girldick/manpussy", but most straight people just laugh at them. They have power over the LGB because of the "umbrella", "you're comrades in our struggle too see same acronym" bullshit.
