The coming backlash against gay men?

My friend predicts that in the next ten years there will be a major backlash in the West against gay men/culture. It’s no secret that mainstream gay culture has always been obnoxious and gross, but without the moderating effect of yesteryear’s rampant homophobia is it becoming too obnoxious and too gross? I suppose this is itself a backlash after millennia of repression, but have we gone too far? Does gay culture need to be taken down a peg? Will it?

It’s already started. We’re too sexualized for their comfort. That’s why they’re pushing this “queer” stuff to neuter us.

You're pathetic. Fuck right off, troll. Die in a greasefire.

Hmm...

This sounds like a right-wing baiting troll thread, but giving it the benefit of the doubt...

We are still despised by a large swath of the public and they would kill us if they thought they could get away it.

Are you over 50 OP? The reality, specially in the west is that the newer generations are more integrated and couldn't care less about sexual orientation. You sound out of touch. If anything, gay spaces may dwindle and disappear because people don't need ghettos to feel safe and accepted, as a matter of fact that is currently happening already.

Ooh, OP, you can lash MY back anytime!

In 5 years, morbidly obese people will face much more backlash than any other groups of people, there I predict it for fat ho OP and her fat chum.

I’m a non-troll left wing 20-something who’s curious to hear people’s speculative thoughts on a friend’s claim. But it’s cute that people are so troll-aware, I guess.

My friend told me Zayn is great but I dunno I think he's finished but I like Harry whuddabout u do u think Harry is gay not that I care and do I look gay in this?

OP you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Gays have never been more mainstream than we are now. Straight people have become desensitized to our presence. They know were here, we're queer, and we're not going anywhere. And frankly many straights have come to realize that when the homos move in everything gets fixed up and the property values start to soar.

My friend predicts we will be banned in the world because of coronavirus he says Biden can't do anything better than Trump and Germany and China already have the technology to identify Americans even if we travel in secret so we won't be able to go anywhere. What do u think? My friend says they will sell us stuff but we will run out of money and we will sell our weapons and also there will be a civil war in the US but not between Republicans and Dems but between rich people and poor people. Well?

OP is a lousy lame troll who trips over himself at being 20. hahahahahaha. You geriatric fat ass with micro peen!!

God Almighty, OP / R11, your friend sounds exhausting.

I predict that the rift between gay/bi people who assimilate/integrate into mainstream society and follow traditional societal norms and the whole queer/genderqueer/trans faction is going to widen. I expect that there will be more push-back against the latter group, especially against trans activism, non-binaries, and other groups strongly based on identity politics and grievances (as opposed more classical liberation movements). I also suspect that the push-back will result in some of the assimilated/integrated gay/bi people growing more conservative with time.

Hopefully, it will happen in shithole Muricah only.

My friend told me I should get a job at Zara but I like my manager at HomeGoods and my room looks really cool but my friend said I am ringard thats a French word he's sophisticated my friend. I was like sorry I studied Spanish. Anyway my friend said all the stores are going to close because of the civil war and were going to get mind-control with the corona vaccine. Bill Gates is behind all this and my friend says hes really Jewish and Facebook and Microsoft are going to fire all the gays.

OP, you and your friend are both homophobic, self-loathing pieces of trash.

OP, You shouldn’t be playing on the internet right now. Your mother needs your help.

She is in the backyard and she is all knotted up with the Doberman again. It’s the third time this month.

No, they're just triggered. Never mistake those who are depressed, borderline psychotic, and heavily on meds for the insightful.

I agree with the poster upthread: there seems to have been a trend to neuter gay men, and make homosexuality more tasteful and acceptable, and more like - God help us - heterosexuality. This domestication of homosexuality has included making cruising and outdoor sex seem 'peculiar', etc etc. One of the very worst manifestations was asexual flat-fronted trousers. Which prissy queen invented those?!!!! They deserve to be dragged from their sleigh bed and shot in the street.

OMFG!! Has the beast mounted her in lust again! The howls must be keeping the neighbors up.

I think most self-aware gay men are used to people hating them, OP. This isn't a "new thing".

by Anonymousreply 23November 11, 2020 12:03 PM

When I said self-aware I meant perceptive.

Mainstream society is going to begin associating gays with the sexual predators in the trans movement, if LGB doesn’t formally break with the T.

The Twitter-Gestapo chip on your shoulder, YASSS KWEEN!!! RPDR fan-clacking attitude is what mainstream people will become sick of; we fought for years to be considered normal, taken seriously and then reality TV & social media came along and all the young Queens turned into cartoon characters, reinforcing the Shop Bottom stereotype. There are plenty of Gay Attorneys & Doctors, but they don’t get the spotlight.

by Anonymousreply 28November 11, 2020 1:45 PM

If there is a backlash coming, it will be backlash against sensitivity and things like #metoo. Things have gotten progressively better for gays and people are more accepting with each year. Gay aren't the problem. In fact, I bet you will see more gays become republican as previous barriers begin to fall.

by Anonymousreply 29November 11, 2020 1:58 PM

We need some really evil gays in the spotlight to shake things up.

That Republican Senator has been a bitter disappointment: trading it all in to be just another aging circuit-party daddy with dead tits, when, with a few years of concentrated smarming, he could have been another Roy Cohn! Just think of it: right now he could have been working the Trump 2024 campaign!

Like 99% of gays as portrayed by Hollywood?

No we don't. We need more gays in STEM fields and less who are employed as "women's assistants".
