Why are the flamboyant gays so hostile to the regular gays?

My partner and I both just act normal and wear normal clothes, and our gay friends are the same way. But damn, I sense a lot of hostility from the effeminate flamboyant gays. I’ve been accused of being a sell out and a pick me gay, and I’m not sure why.

For one thing, I don’t openly bash gays. Two, I don’t talk about my personal life or relationship at work, and maybe coworkers suspect I’m gay and maybe they don’t, I don’t care either way. But I get accused of not being myself, and it pisses me off because I am being myself. I don’t understand why so many gay men think that “being your true self” means being a walking circus act with a bad perm who vomits rainbows.

This was clearly written by a person with little more than a passing familiarity with actual gay people

Short answer: you're a god damned drama queen and it's all your head.

I once saw an Instagram video about a "psychologist" claiming that if I'm gay and I only fall in love with seemingly "straight acting/looking" guys, then I was basically mentally ill and had self-loathing complex. Go figure.

Written by a gay man desperate to be accepted into mainstream society as it is determined and structured by heterosexuals. Tragic.

Didn’t you post this exact same thread a week or so ago?

It’s that or the Queens are now running wild and lots of regular gays like yourself are being attacked verbally by feminine men for being pick me gays.

Op is the kind of guy who spends half his time daydreaming about reasons why people might not like him and the other half the time loudly defending himself against his own imaginary enemies

Of all the fucking problems in the world, OP...

I think it’s brave for the OP to admit that when he bashes gays he does not do so openly.

Smells like trollfish posting.

Shashy, shashy gaysh.

It does smell like trollfish. Because the part where the flamboyant gays are hostile is not my experience. They don't care, because the nonflamboyant gays are usually rather dull and average, and the dramatic gays don't find that appealing. At a prior job, I was mildly accused of being closeted even though I wasn't at all - I was out to coworkers. The implication was that I didn't act very 'gay.' I explained to the coworker that there are middling gay people just like there are average straight people.

"For one thing, I don’t openly bash gays."

What is this thread then?

by Anonymousreply 13June 5, 2025 8:21 PM

Flamers are more often rejected by the average gay guy. "Queens give us a bad name"

I knew a gay guy once who wasn’t effeminate but he was a super woke virtue signaler. He was white but would go on LinkedIn and rant about how black women should be free to wear black hairstyles in the office and post all this anti racism stuff with the black fist emojis. It was ridiculous. Anyway, he ranted one time that I need to be out at work and be “visible” and be proud of who I am.

It just seemed like such an odd thing for him to say and kind of insulting. I am proud of who I am. I started with nothing and completed an associates degree, bachelor’s degree, and master’s degree, all while working full time. I have a successful career and travel the world. That’s way more important to me than performative pride and rainbow apparel.
