You know, I'm starting to notice a weird thing in their descriptions of lesbianism recently, notice how they say that lesbianism is "non-men loving non-men"? The hell is that?

They use the word "men" but they can't bring themselves to use the word "women" so they are defining women now as "non-men"

It honestly feels like misogyny at this point, misandry too if they define gay as "non-women loving non-women"

On a side note, this comment was the dumbest thing I ever read today:

"I think the issue is a lot of lgbt+ people have a negative view on "straightness" and they escape that label.

Because traditional unhealthy relationships that we see in the media are almost always straight (because almost all relationships we see are straight), so we kinda unconsciously associate straight = bad

There's not a "gay love" and a "straight love", there's healthy love and there's toxic relationships in both sides of the spectrum."

The media doesn't show homosexual relationships as being toxic, not because "straight = bad" or anything, it's because the media can't afford to paint a homosexual relationship as toxic, or else there will be a huge backlash. Imagine if a TV series had their only LGBTQ+ relationship be toxic, that can't happen in any case whatsoever, I can't even imagine it. There are many toxic and unhealthy homosexual relationships in real life but they can't show that because we are still a minority.
