Lit...after dark

don't quit your day job.

He got freaked out of me too, thinking that I'm a gay man who's making a pass at him.

I was amused, but I assume it's no picnic for those who encounter judgmental attitudes on a regular basis.
 
Looks like a slow night on the GB. I still have the fixin's for Long Islands. And a handbuild za in the oven. Maybe a binge of Queen of the South, season dos, as I sink slowly into the sofa. :)
 
At least you knew an attempt at humor. The other is always a victim.

You're probably right, but not this time. Your reaction to me was harmless, and it made me laugh.

But you gotta admit: you and half of the Liberal dudes who post on GB are homophobes and transphobes.

And not in a benign way either,
It gets quite nasty at times, the "how dare they travel in the same buses with us" (aka post on the GB) kind.

I don't know what it's all about, but homophobia/transphobia -not racism, as the memes go- are the ugly side of the GB.

It's all good.

I think you are A-OK for a homo.

The other alternative wouldn't make any difference.
An ageing, plain fat woman like me would disgust the men even more.

It boils down to the fact that half of you GB boys and girls
think that posters of both genders are here because they are trying to steal your cherry. :D

But seriously. Speaking about general trends.
I'm just stunned by the GB level of hostility towards posters in that spectrum. And it's mainly coming from GB Liberals, which is even more surprising.

And you lump me in with GB libs.

And you wonder why people make fun of you.

I'm not lumping you with them.
I'm just saying that I've seen you display similar transphobic /homophobic attitudes.
Forget about me, my interaction with you was benign and made me laugh. The other ones.

For many on the GB, the GB is all about racists hunting. But in my view, 1:1 homophobic/transphobic attacks on fellow posters are much more damaging than racist generalizations.

But you did. Mainly because you just rant, react, don't pay attention.

It's not all about your view.

Not really wanting a reply. We've been down this road before. It's better for both of us when you put me on iggy. And if you do, which I really hope you do, don't turn around and create a thread about. That was pretty dumb.

I'm not the only one who commented on the homophobia/transphobia from this forum.

Coming together in labeling it, as opposed to pretending it's about something else,
is the first step in supporting future posters who might find Themselves to be a target.
