Things Non-LGBT People Say...

someone i know, but lets not expose them

them: it's really bad that people condemn homosexuality...
me: *aw, they're finally in the 21st century*
them: they can't help catching a disease.

O. K . N I C E. B Y E.

 

Just had this from a (female) neighbour at the shop:

"Must be so easy being married to a woman. Men are just useless. Women are so calm and easy to talk to. I might go gay"

I laughed so hard i had to hold myself up against a fridge. Do they realise the shit they come out with?! I really feel bad for her husband.

 

I wasn't out at the time but I was working on it, I inserted Asexuality into conversations to see how friends would react, one friend said that you just haven't found the right person

Bitch please, I'm asexual, not celibate, needless to say, I'm not out to this friend and haven't spoken to them in months.

 

Earlier tonight, I was in a group, talking to some family-friends. One woman begins to talk about her daughter's lesbian and bi friends. Keep in mind, I am not out to any of tje people that were in the group. These are some of the things she said:

"A lot of the girls in her school are bi because it's trendy. Like it's the thing to be right now. None of them are authentic bisexuals. Her one friend claims to be bi, but how can she be? She's only had boyfriends her whole life."

...And what makes it more upsetting is that she's accepting of LGBT individuals. She, like a lot of people, doesn't seem to fully understand bisexuals.

 

I'm probably naive, but me too lol

 

Homosexuality is a disorder\ disease (<=== doesn't even make since/ wrong use of the word disease)/disability/etc
Your gay so why don't you just change genders
You don't sound or look gay


But seriously I can't comprehend why people say these things. I like to think I have a fairly multi view understanding but this just doesn't work, like why would you ever say that, I hear these on a multiple times on a daily bases

 

If you calmly respond "being straight is a psychological disorder" they will go crazy or say "prove it." And just respond, "but you didn't prove it when you said being gay was the disorder so it's just as valid a statement."

 

Some dudes,
The 1 guy: "... Passive ... Active?"
The 2 guy: "Don't care... passive, you can see it.
Me thinking very annoyed and nervous: "Just cuz I'm skinny?
And why do you guys feel the right to make assumption?"

I don't fully understand the language here but
they stood behind me and i could feel that 1 of them stared at me.

 

'so which of you is the man? '

 

When someone asks me this I just tell them neither of us are, thats kind of the point, and I look at them like they are a real weirdo and dumbass.

 

Oh My Gosh lol.

 

My mother telling me I shouldn't just be reading " those lesbian books". The way she says it makes it sound like erotica. I try to explain the only difference is two females instead of a guy and a girl. Does she really think that reading only lesbian fiction is going to make more gay or something.

 

Has she actually voiced her reason why she keeps saying this to you or is it all implied?

 

It's all implied she doesn't see why I don't want to read about a guy and a girl falling in love. I also won't join some Facebook book club she's in because I don't want to read any deep meaningful book. She seems to think lesbian fiction is all one genre rather than all genres but with two girls. I don't get her problem with it, it's not going to turn me gay since I'm already gay.

 

If I were you I would just call her out on it. Just ask her for her actually reason why you shouldnt be reading lesbian books specifically.

Some people only realise how silly they are being until they are forced to think about what they are actually saying. And if she does have a homophobic reason for not wanting you to read lesbian books then tell her she is being close minded and be angry.

Thats what I would do anyway. But I have always had a argumentative but loving relationship with my mum.

 

Oh no! You gave the poor girl....the gay....

*Ghost sounds* spoooooky!

 

"Wait so you don't like men now?" - Mum's response to me being Bisexual and dating a girl.
"Is this because (insert name of exboyfriend) cheated on you?"

 

I once read an article where a minister compared the natural factor of being gay to the natural factor of animals eating their own poop... yeah, loving someone and eating your shit is tooootally comparable

 

I get it, and I'm so so sorry that you had to lose your friend. It's the absolute worst, but hey, if they don't like you for you, that is their problem to handle and their burden that they lost such a wonderful person. Losing friends is sad and gut wrenching, but it sucks that it hurts your self confidence because I think you're brave for telling them and you don't need to handle their homophobia anymore.

 

"I'm sorry but this is what pisses me off about trans people
I'll happily call her (name) and say she's a she etc
But at the end of the day she's a guy who wants to be a girl"
