You know, stuff like this makes me feel like maybe same-sex attraction wasn't meant to be compatible with humans

I'm sorry, but this statement makes no sense. Same-sex attraction is literally built in to humanity. It's highly, though not entirely, genetic. If every LGB person alive today suddenly died, there would still be gay and bisexual kids born tomorrow. And there would still be gay sheep (lol).

Maybe we just aren't meant to be.

Some idiot "queer cis gay boy" spicy straight making a homophobic comment on Twitter does not constitute proof that the entire phenomenon of same-sex attraction isn't "meant to be."

You doing okay, dude? This stuff can get depressing.

I really appreciate the link to that other comment. Do you by any chance remember who posted it? I see that they have since deleted their account.

Edit: Bless everyone who archives. It was u/GatitoMalo.

Yup, was gonna say it was him! I miss him... didn't get an opportunity to say goodbye before he left :(

He has a lot of other knowledge-dense comments that I've saved over the months, if you're interested I can link some. Was even considering making an informal "LGB resources" sub or something to post content like this in.

He was one of my favorite contributors as well. I'd love to see your curated list, whether here or in a separate sub.

Yeah? All right, when not if I make it, I'll ping you :) it's been on my list for a while.

If you are really interested in reading, I had some massively long debates with him... great stuff. Well, his comments were anyway, lol. Here's a comment of his on a dumpster fire of an argument over paraphilias I had with a user who doesn't come here so often anymore. I am still honestly on the fence as to whether I'd call AGP/GAMP a subset of bisexuality or something entirely separate from bisexuality.

Here's a comment he wrote about this on FBOE, the fraternal birth order effect found among gay men-- Q-Continuum-Kin referenced this in this comment.

Thank you! I might have to save these for the weekend but I skimmed and they look very tasty.

No problemo :) I appreciate your voracity for reading, it's always fun when I find other people on this sub who are as interested in stuff like this as I am.
