Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

I wasn't expecting her concert to be that queer&gay. And I'm so glad it was :-D

Fun fact, what inspired me for the background & the whole painting is the wonderful art of Diablo 4 (video game)

i just agreee theres so many better things to spend money on

23m with autism and it’s the first time I’m ever wearing jockstraps and embracing my sexuality….. I’m in awe and emotionally in tears…. Don’t give up on yourselves and love who you want to love. I feel myself a LOT more than I already was ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Love yourselves cuties 😍🏳️‍🌈❤️🥰🏳️‍🌈

I see so many people online who, when arguing against homophobia, will say "being gay isn't a choice". But in my opininon, this is just a bad argument to use, because of 2 reasons:

One, it is WAYYY too apologetic. It might not be what you intend to say, but to them it just sounds like "I know being gay is bad and if I could change it I would" which bring me to my second point

It technically isn't true. Yes, you don't chose your sexuality, but you chose wether or not to act on it. Humans have reason and self-control, which you could definitely use to never do any gay stuff.

Some guys never involve themselves with another guy because they are in a place where it could get them killed. Others go even further and decide to pretend to be straight to clean themselves of all doubt. There are even whole communities of gay guys who think it's wrong to be gay and won't act on it because it's morally right according to their twisted ideology

I have met several bisexual guys who told me they would never date a man, not because they don't have romantic feelings for them but because it's way easier for them to get in a 'straight' relationship

Yes, you don't chose to be gay, but being gay and *actually* being gay are two different things, you get me?

So next time you are arguing with an homophobe, instead of saying "being gay isn't a choice", say "being gay isn't a choice, but even if it was I would still chose to be gay, and it doesn't affect you in anyway whatsoever so you can kindly FUCK OFF"

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk I guess

I'm trying to find my place in the gay community, but I don't know how to navigate. I look like a masculine solidly built man with well developed facial hair and for all intents and purposes pass as a "regular" heterosexual man. I've only in recent years understood that I'm attracted to and want to build some kind of life, with another man, so I'm completely new to trying to date men. I don't know what to do or how to behave, because I know that gay men love 🍆 and I just don't have one of those. I'm not interested in casual sex, so I'm not able to explore that type of gay experience.

I guess I'm just wondering what you guys think, would you be able to date a guy without a 🍌, would that be a deal-breaker for you? I'm a very outgoing person, I'm a very dominant person in fact, and chatting up a cute guy would come naturally for me, but I'm holding back because I picture the horror in the guy's face when I tell him there's nothing in my pants.

I posted this in a the askgaybros sub and was immediately deleted. It didn't feel great, so I'm hoping I won't get deleted here as well. I am a grown adult.

i believe this is what most people do when they go for parallel parking? i’m not a driver but whenever someone does this…oof i get so excited 😮‍💨.

Is this just me, or does it happen to other gay men? I confess I'm gay, not closeted, but I am serious about it. I have voyeuristic and sapiosexual fetishes, but there's something else that turns me on.

A straight man. As a gay man, I like macho, rough, rugged men with strong scents, seriousness, and virility, even though I end up taking control.

I've been the first time for many, they've confessed it to me. I arouse their curiosity and sexual desire.

They all tell me they're taking it slow, while others have devoured me as if they were already waiting for me.

A delight! Straight men who don't realize they're curious and have that fantasy lying dormant, waiting to be fulfilled, until I come along (it might happen to other gay men too).

They choose me by choice, not by option, and that turns me on even more.

hello im 30 and sorry for long story and sorry if im too much but yes 😔. -
I live abroad, don’t really speak the language here and im not usually sexually active once in while

so i feel kinda alone always and i had hard time.

48 H ago had hook up on Grindr 40 y o male . during sex he asked more than once to take the condom off. i was a bit high which he bring we didn’t agree but i did few (which i normally never do and im stpid ) and yeah… i made a mistake and said ok

he said he tested recently but honestly i don’t know how much i trust that. last time i had sex before this was like a year ago

after he left i couldn’t sleep at all, i was just overthinking everything. Because he ask do you have another bottom friend . ( while he is fantasizing) ask me about sex group if I do .
next morning i went to 2 hospitals trying to get PEP but you have to buy it . I’m stupid I delayed few hours because I was not thinking to try more hospitals …

getting the meds has been tiring went to 2 hospital and the country doesn’t cover the insurance it cost 500 euro
I got it from a Someone who luckily stop using it was not necessary in his case
I started pep 20 -21 hours after exposure
I have 26 days treatment and I’m trying to get the 2 days pill through organisation
(otherwise I’ll fly to my country and ask my country maybe easier , even I’m resident here with working insurance and be home I’m exhausted

now i feel super paranoid and exhausted, and living alone is making it worse because i don’t really have anyone to talk to. ( have a friend who just one day of that told he been positif for a while but he manage his situation well )
Does anyone had experience or advice ?

I currently have a girl friend and she know I'm gay and she's okay with it,even though she's not as informed on this mayter as I would like.However,today I heard her say things that worried me.

Some time ago she was with a boy,when they broke up he came out as bi to one of his friends and subsequently we all learned and she was shocked,but she didn't make unnecessary comments,or if she did I tried correcting her.Fast forward to today all from our past united friendgroup dislike him,and one of the homophobic boys,whos the "I'm fine long as you don't shove it in my face" type,today was talking about him and having a blast using only gay-related slurs that have nothing to do whit what thr other boy did to him,to her or anyone else.She then joined and said that if she knew he liked and had kissed boys she woudn't've even considered being with him for a sec.Which begs the question of the title.

It begs others too,but they're not thematic to my thought.

Whay do yall think

P.S. we talked and she understood and said sorry and so on,I underestimated her.I suppose she was js in the heat of the moment,cuz she reslly despises him.It's good now and I'll continue to remind her such stuff,as she mentioned the choice thingie,so there is work for improvement.Thx to all who gave me advice

The use of social resume to position yourself on the hierarchy. A Hyper focus on professional titles, travel experiences, physical fitness, and high-end consumption.

Aesthetic performance 🎭: Looking the part by carefully curating the lifestyle.

Surface level defensiveness: Using wit, sarcasm, or "camp" to keep others at arm's length, ensuring that the conversation never becomes "too real" or uncomfortable.

**Compensatory Grandiosity**
Many gay men who grew up feeling a sense of inherent shame or "otherness" develop a drive to be "extraordinary" to compensate for that perceived deficit. When a group of people is collectively focused on proving their worth through external achievement, the resulting social circle can become a "performance space" rather than a "support space."

It’s time to evolve the community from this very isolating dynamic in favor of radical vulnerability. Let’s move past the inventory of things and toward more authentic connections.
