WHEN GAY MEN (MIS)MARRY STRAIGHT WOMEN: BONNIE KAYE'S STORY

#patriarchy #toxicmasculy #femism #misogynistic♬ origal sound – Kc DavisHere’s another vio where the TikToker elaborat that homophobia is actually hatred of women too@domticblistersReply to @lady14bug dg dg dg. This is the systematic opprsn of women, an jtice we ntribute to every time we ll women “bch” and thk ’s OK — bee we’re gay.

On the eve of a polil admistratn that is cidly antiwomen, wh a print-elect who has eely bragged about sexual asslt, we n no longer s idly by and allow this behavr among gay men to ntue. Blanket refals to a certa mographic of gay men — black, Asian, HIV-posive, kky — dite that you’re the sort of person who ref to see people beyond their membership said mographic. If you thk all fem guys are unattractive and refe to see them as more than their femy, you’re a gay misogynist.

When I was a baby gay (high school, llege), I ed to make gaggg nois when people talked about vagas. Some women have appropriated slurs like “bch” and “cunt” as power terms, jt as many gay men (not me) ll themselv “faggots. For example, I eely e “queer” spe s history as a slur, and I love llg myself and other gay men “homos, ” even though some nsir this word a slur also ( my fense, “homo” is more basely factual than any other term: I am, after all, a homosexual).

'THEY JT WANTED TO SILENCE HER': THE DARK SI OF GAY STAN CULTURE

You thk promiscuy is a basic part of gay male culture, but a promiscuo woman is “slutty.

When a fellow homo gets too dnk at the bar and gets horny or touchy, or do somethg embarrassg, you say, “Girl’s tanked.

WHY IS THAT SOME GAY MEN EMPLOY AN EFFEMATE VOICE?

Sure, I ll fellow homos “girl” sometim, particularly at the gay gym, when ma egos are flarg. Callg other gay men “girl” or “girliend” om a long-held tradn that go as far back as Harry Hay and the Gay Liberatn Front.

More and more gay bars are beg queer havens as our muny wak up to the fact that there are others the acronym bis gay men. If you’re perturbed at the number of queer women at your next Pri para, you’re a gay misogynist. I don’t have much to say about the “gay bros, ” the Redd group of masc-only homos who enjoy hunt’ and fish’ and sportsball and all that ddy stuff.

I see a group of boys wh massive ternalized homophobia latchg on to everythg they nsir “straight” an attempt to be ls gay.

WHY GAY MEN AND TRANS HATE WOMENTHEY'RE PETN

I take a very oppose approach, believg gay and queer culture is very different om the world of our hetero unterparts — a wonrland of circu parti and glory hol and fabulo terr sign.

LBIANS MORE ACCEPTED THAN GAY MEN AROUND THE WORLD, STUDY FDS

I’ve met so many gay bros who hate women, hate femy, and don’t want anythg to do wh guys who “act gay” (when they say this, they mean “act feme”).

THE FACT NO ONE LIK TO ADM: MANY GAY MEN ULD JT HAVE EASILY BEEN STRAIGHT

I’ve heard gay guys say that their masculy needs fendg bee ’s the way thgs are, the “right way, ” the “rrect way” for men, gay or straight, to behave.

DO GAY MEN HATE WOMEN?

If somethg is “right, ” “stctive, ” and “te, ” why n’t we s back, lete the gay bros Redd, and allow nature to do s thg? This means you hold a stance that women don’t have tonomy over their bodi — a bizarre stance nsirg the fact that, as a gay man, you are not a woman and nnot speak to female inty. But jt as people regnize the wrongns of their racist upbrggs, and change om homophob to queer alli, you n start upliftg women the way they serve to be uplifted.
