Thanks for the input.
I’m late to learning a lot about this, I’m catching up on like 30 years of being whatever the opposite of woke is. Slept? I dunno.
Once someone I was close to came out I’ve been trying to learn a lot about LGBT stuff. I have him to learn a lot of it but he hasn’t really heard of this and I’ve been wondering about it on the back burner. Got another story post just before I posted this, which reminded me to ask a broader audience than one dude.
I grew up(still in actually) a very red town so once I figured out LGBT people weren’t mentally deranged and broke out of the religious bubble I was in (about 9 years ago for the religious breakout coming up on like 12 for figuring gay doesn’t mean “going to hell”.
It’s been eye opening. Me and the guy I mentioned earlier that came out have been having movie day once a week, and I’ve seen a lot of gay and trans movies (recent examples are the birdcage and the Patrick Swayze drag movie that I forgot the name of)now and I just love the people in the rainbow so much.
I’m not switching teams, (sorry guys, I still want the ladies) but I don’t feel gross about the entire concept anymore.
I said and thought a lot of stuff then that I come about now and I’m trying to be better now. If I was missing some context and learned about it here I woulda brought it up just to see if he was proud of the effort. But no dice for me.
Oh for sure. This guy is just flamboyant as hell and it just kinda seemed like this was part of it. No one else I’ve known did that. Again, small sample size bias, but that’s why I thought to ask before assuming. I came here to see if these 2s added up to 4 just based on the vibe I felt.
