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.
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.
~ 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.

Isn't being that insecure stereotypically feminine behaviour - ya know... Kinda gay?
If you want to be gay, be gay. If you want to be a bit gay, be a bit gay. if you don't, that's totally fine too - Just stop worrying about crossing some arbitrary line into... what?
If cleaning up after yourself leads to you railing some dude, the cleaning up was never the problem, and maybe you just opened yourself up to something wonderful.
I don't understand your first line at all.
Being so insecure about whether or not you're perceived as feminine/gay is hella gay. As in, super closeted and desperately trying to deny the truth by any means kind of gay.
I'm dating another man. I don't know any gay guys who worry about this.
Does insecurity so crippling it stops you from cleaning up after yourself when camping seem well aligned with the stereotypical ultra-masculine archetype to you?
Of course it's ultimately all nonsense and stereotypes - but that's really the point - this arbitrary "that's gay... and that's a problem" nonsense just draws lines people fear to cross and limits their freedom for no benefit.
Idk anything about that. I was in scouts all the men I know mostly go by the motto leave only footprints.
And I think that's a fine and good principle to live by.
Shhhh, we're trying to convince these guys that it's less gay to save the environment!
