LGBT News The Eurovision winner Netta claims that she is a straight girl with a "gay story"

Uh, who said straight girls didn’t get bullied?
Maybe she was trying to relate to gay fans by connecting with the shared experiences of being bullied / feeling ashamed. Mamamoo, a kpop girl group, had a band member relate to her experience (as an Asian) being bullied for her darker skin color as being black. Obviously, people didn’t take that well.
Probably had no bad intentions, but her words lacked tact

 

This. Bullying is a human story, it's only a gay story if you mix in homophobia.

 

Netta has become a bit of a gay icon in Israel. She’s probably trying to relate to her newly-found fans.

 

Her strife, despite the torment is may have brought her, does not correlate with how a gay person could be treated. She was bullied, yes. She may have been talked about, laughed at, maybe hit around. However, in many places in the world, being gay is what will get you killed. Even in places where there are laws against such a thing, you can still be disowned by your own family and friends.

In my opinion, comparing her own struggle to the hardship of a lgbt person is slightly irresponsible of her and just does not add up.

 

She's a fat girl with a fat girl story. There are not people saying fat people will convert people in to being fat and you won't be killed or jailed in some countries for being fat. So she was bullied so were a lot of people I was bullied unrelated to being gay and their experiences werent at the forefront of my mind. Then again I never saw gay people being bullied because no one was out in my school including me. I can't have been the only lesbian in an all girls school even if there was only 200 students total from ages 12 to 18. In the same town there was also the all boys school and the co ed school but all class sizes were small.
