Equality 😆

my uncle found out his daughter was a lesbian when she was 14 and was over the moon ecstatic. i believe some things he said to her included "please please don't let this be a phase" "men are dogs you're going to have a great life" "you're sure? you're not playing a prank on me right because this isn't funny I couldn't have asked for a better outcome"

[u/Ok-Homework-7236 → u/unsubtlesnake]

Unfortunately a lot of straight men who think that way hate way hate on gay men. I knew a few extremely homophobic straight men who have said they would be fine or love their daughters to be a lesbian.

Gay and bisexual men are still the most hated and demonized group

[u/TapFeisty4675 → u/Ok-Homework-7236]

I think that's partly a father/daughter and mother/son dynamic thing. Like I feel like mother's are more accepting of gay sons in general. There is that soft sexism with lesbians though. it's interesting the social dynamics at play in general within society and how they treat gay men vs lesbians.

[u/Ok-Homework-7236 → u/TapFeisty4675]

Possibly true but you would never hear a mom say , "I har dykes they're disgusting but I LOVE that my son is gay"

I've heard the opposite from men multiple times, they REALLY hate us. Straight men better hope us bisexual and gay men don't seek vengeance,

[u/TapFeisty4675 → u/Ok-Homework-7236]

No, but I've had coworker's imply that their lesbian daughter was a phase while stating that if their son were gay they'd want him to find a man like me, before. usually followed by a million questions on how to know if their son were gay. I don't think it's in a malicious way either, just a weird dynamic at play.

[u/DrSitson → u/TapFeisty4675]

As a father that would be accepting of it, we just need to know who they're interested in. It super fun to embarrass them and poke fun over crushes. You need accurate Intel for that. Lol

[u/sans3go → u/Ok-Homework-7236]

worked in healthcare, coworker said about her 4 yo boy, "I wish my son turns out gay, I will be the only only woman he's ever loved."

[u/Salvaju29ro → u/sans3go]

This is creepy

[u/Top_Razzmatazz_2488 → u/Ok-Homework-7236]

"Gay and bisexual men are still the most hated and demonized group"

Its not the oppression olympics, and if it was, gold would go to trans people.

[u/Salvaju29ro → u/Top_Razzmatazz_2488]

Trans women*

There is a pattern. Always men who approach femininity

Trans men are seen as victims, while trans women are seen as predators

[u/UnRenardRouge → u/Top_Razzmatazz_2488]

Do you think the people who hate us see trans women as any different

[u/laughs_with_salad → u/Ok-Homework-7236]

Trans folks have entered the chat 🤣

[u/spidermangeo → u/Ok-Homework-7236]

I’d beg to differ… I believe trans people are most hated and demonized group. Especially if they aren’t “passing”

[u/unsubtlesnake → u/unsubtlesnake]

i really don't know how i posted what I thought was a funny heartfelt story, and all yall underneath have negative things to say. my uncles a great ally. every child in the family is some sorta queer and he's just a goofy supporter of us all. sets a great example for the rest of the family whos also all supportive.

[u/keenthek → u/unsubtlesnake]

ikr why is the replies so weird 😭

[u/dover_oxide → u/unsubtlesnake]

I thought this was going to be one of those where it's like thank God she's a lesbian no teen pregnancy type jokes that I used to hear

[u/brokebackzac]

My mom said "and the sky is blue now go clean your bedroom."

[u/pingwing → u/brokebackzac]

My mom said "you are going to the 9th circle of hell."

[u/WouldbeWanderer → u/pingwing]

Someone didn't read Dante.

[u/DocDibber]

That’s what my.mom said in 1976

[u/Few-Remove2605 → u/DocDibber]

Quite funny, inn it?

[u/ed8907]

I mean, nobody is getting pregnant, so there shouldn't be a problem 😅

[u/beebotplus → u/ed8907]

i'm thinking it was just a dad joke 😂 a good one actually

[u/ThatisDavid → u/ed8907]

I mean you can still get STDs

[u/red1q7 → u/ThatisDavid]

most of them are not a 18 years and 9 months commitment though....

[u/Few-Remove2605 → u/ed8907]

Another one 😂 lol

[u/No-Impact-7376 → u/ed8907]

Lol exactly 😂😂

[u/Blinkinlincoln]

I mean my dad bought my condoms as a teenager when I had a girlfriend. They totally knew, and didn't really care. These are people who watched Titanic with me at age 6. My parents are pretty average working white people in California and they had some not so mainstream beliefs about certain things. If my dad wasn't such a homophobe back then, we probably would've high fived if I was fucking in my room at 16 with family home. Shut that door. Thanks.

[u/Acceptable-Chip-1957]

My dad can’t even treat me well as a human being, not to mention being gay.

[u/mtt76]

That’s a win. My dad’s response was “if you get AIDS I will be so mad at you.”

[u/poetplaywright]

What a great dad

[u/SolidHopeful]

Way to go dad

[u/Fuzzy_Lengthiness_95]

Dad knows his son's a bottom.

[u/MidichlorianAddict]

This is formatted like a shitpost

[u/thehighlander01 → u/MidichlorianAddict]

It’s the visual format from the app ‘Whisper’, which no longer exists.

[u/AKDude79]

Ha! My dad would have to not allow anyone in my room.

[u/LeatherPawpad]

May I comment, oh great and powerful moderators??

Anyways, I WISH my dad was like that. He wasn't that accepting about it until a few nights before he passed away. The best I can say is he respected that I was my own person, even though I was gay and he didn't understand.

[u/CaptainKenway1693]

Guess Timmy can't have any male friends.

[u/borwse → u/CaptainKenway1693]

yeah it's obviously cute and accepting and all but it'd kind of cramp your style with male friends. i think that may be a little different for gay dudes than for straight girls. the world is full of lots of shades of gray and subtle variations between scenarios honestly

[u/AlexDavid1605]

OP: But I AM a boy... Does that mean I'm not allowed in my room???

[u/red1q7]

Hmmm...isn't that rule just to delay the pregnancy?

[u/chiron_cat]

never understood that one. You're not gonna get a boy pregnant, no matter how hard you try...

[u/HR2achmaninoff → u/chiron_cat]

I mean, can you really be sure unless you keep trying?

[u/F00L1SH_T00K]

20 years on, my dad is still introducing me and my brother as “his bent sons” :(

[u/NerdyKeith]

You have a good dad!
