They made their goals straight people's goals

This comment sounds like some genderist's interpretation of heteronormality. Basically: You should only have the lifestyle I want to have. No, don't get married. Don't start a family. Those are straight people goals. Eventually it'll be- No, don't create a business. Don't own a house. Those are straight people goals. Embrace your servitude queerness by being a lifelong activist for our ideological aims. You don't need marriage rights, money and property. They're just patriarchal institutions of oppression. You'd be a traitor to us and not a true gay if you don't donate everything you own to our causes and have to live on the street like some drifter. But at least you would've embraced your destiny as a token minority by rejecting those terrible hetero-themed life goals.

Lol omg you're so right, hahaha. You know, I swear, I knew LGBTQ-identified people (not same sex attracted people) in college who legit had this mentality.
