Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Our Partnered Discord Server: GayWave

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

"But you're gay... why do you like sailing and WWE?"

"Well, I feel like both of those are pretty gay considering the reputation the Navy has and WWE being all sweaty men."

"EXPLAIN FIREARMS THEN."

"Shooty go pew."

"WHAT ARE YOU?!"

"Hungry."

Based off of a real conversation I've had.

Sailing and WWE are pretty famously gay

I vastly prefer OP's type. Flamboyant gay people are too high maintenance.

Too high maintenance

I was considering dating a dude once who fit that bracket perfectly. I buy multiple copies of the same sweatpants. I have 40 of the same socks. 15 of the same underwear. I don't give a tittering fuck about clothes. He wanted to spend 4 hours at the mall just looking at clothes. For a second date.

I almost killed myself and then him.

Femme lesbians confuse these dorks but we can identify each other easily enough. I say this as if my fashion choices, as a femme lesbian, don't get me called a dyke on the street fairly often.

"Are you sure you are gay?"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Have been asked that so many times oh my godddddd.

"Yes. I suck dick and I'm damn good at it, Tiffany. Fuck off."

My late brother used to love to bust my balls, so him being the person he was, would introduce me (us) as "he's the gayest straight man you'll ever meet, and I'm the straightest gay man you'll ever meet". He wasn't flamboyant or anything, and I do enjoy antiques and musicals. He also threatened to haunt my left testicle if I kept having raucous sex without bringing someone home for him. Anyway, thanks for reading. I miss that big, proud asshole.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Now I miss him too <3 I'm sorry buddy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

I feel like you and I would probably have a lot of good conversations. I don't say that to many people. Thank you for everything you post here, it's part of what keeps me going buddy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sorry bro. But I must ask. If he haunting your left ball now?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

No, thankfully I could see where his humor was coming from. He was quite lonely after we moved to a rural republican area. So I made it a point to not bring girls home for noisy one night stands, and to spend more time with him and our mutual friends. Getting married and having kids probably helped me settle down. I'm very sad he doesn't get to meet his youngest nephew.

Eta: I did laugh at the question, that's why I like to tell these stories.

"I like you. You're gay, but you're normal"

🫠 I always feel like my non flamboyant ass is a betrayal to all gays everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

No my friend, we are not betrayers, we are ambassadors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How? In queer unfriendly environments I feel like I pass the idea that "it's possible to be gay but look normal" and I hate it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

We're a lot of close-minded folks' first real interaction with a gay person. Some will never change, but a lot of people have their eyes opened when they realize the person they've been working with or talking to is queer. There's this sudden rush of realization many of them get, where they suddenly understand that gay people are just... well... people. Regular people. People with many of the same interests, struggles, and experiences as themselves.

I'm not pretending to be straight or hiding who I am. I'm literally just being myself. I openly talk about my boyfriend the same way anyone talks about their SO.

Honestly, I've gotten many more "You don't seem bi" from gay men than any other demographic.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'm not surprised but like... I don't even know what bi is supposed to seem like in the first place? Like okay. Us gays have a stereotype. But like what are y'all expected ot show up like? Hands shoved inside of a woman and a dude at the same time like a pair of kinky oven mitts? The fuck were they expecting lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

IDK but that "oven mitt" visual is making me horny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

From my experience: they expect us to be over sexual pests with attachment issues and a constant need for mfm threesomes, sadly enough

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Well since the only two real sexual orientations are straight and political, they expect the political types to be just as annoying and pushy as the last ones.

…but note that to these people, when something catches their attention and they think about it a bit because it’s different than what they’re used to, they have had your political nature ShOvEd DoWn ThEiR tHrOaTs!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well that's the dumbest thing in the world. Especially when us gays have over sexual pests down pretty good. Same with the attachment issues to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Seems like sex pest and flighty relationship accusations/reactions are common against anyone with a "different" sexuality, no matter if the observer is hetero or homo :P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I lost my virginity to 30+ men by having my legs up in a sling at a bathhouse.

Sex pest might be accurate for me lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The will smith meme fits I guess :P

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (5 children)

You mean you, a gay man, like things that men like?? Next youll tell me everything you own is NOT pink???????

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Being bi blew my mind when I finally came out. Dating women is really fun, but then I met a guy who is like...my best friend and crush? Best of both worlds! We share the same hobbies! And hold hands :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Very happy to hear that for you :)

What about WWE wouldn't a gay man love?

The women, but we don't talk about those.

I had been told I am straight passing so I started wearing the gayest clothing I could find so people would never confuse me for being straight again.

Shout out to Hyena Agenda and Nomad Complex for making the best and gayest shirts.
