The Next Day Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) First it's not being "hyper-sexual". Then it's "Let's not kiss in public cause some people don't like it". Then it's "We should not be gay in public cause some people don't like that". Assimilation doesn't work. If we do what the conservatives and reactionists tell us to, we'll soon find ourselves in a pre-Stonewall society. And Sam Smith is not "the LGBTQ-community", they're not our spokesperson, neither are the sex-obsessed gays (which isn't even a gay thing, cmon now). Conservatives play the "One bad apple = bad tree" card and you agree with that? Imagine if we swapped "LGBTQ" with "Black", would you be so confident with your argument as well?

velocity Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 It's not just LGBT community though, the hypersexuality is everywhere and tbh it's disgusting and i'm so over it. The watersports scene is nasty tbh
Virgos Groove Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 1960: We CAN'T afford to ask for the legalization of same-sex relationships in this climate anymore. EVERYONE is literally starting to turn their backs on us. 1987: We CAN'T afford to protest the way the AIDS epidemic has been handled in this climate anymore. EVERYONE is literally starting to turn their backs on us. 2004: We CAN'T afford to fight for same-sex marriage in this climate anymore. EVERYONE is literally starting to turn their backs on us. Nobody is "turning their back on us". Homophobia and transphobia never stopped existing, and you don't fight it by trying to please bigots. Most of us don't care what straight people think of us and aren't willing to live our lives in the service of people who hate us. If queer people being as "hyper-sexual" as they are (and, yes, straight people can be very hyper-sexual) makes them unconfortable, then they'll have to deal with it. Plus, we already have "modest representation", and straight people protest that too (see: the ridiculous The Last of Us backlash). It's time for some of you to understand that homophobes won't like us regardless of how we present ourselves. It doesn't matter if you're "masc", "discreet" or "modest". At best, in the eyes of homophobes, you're just second-in-line for extermination.
Rev8 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I mean..it's all about freedom and we should be able to express that! BUT I really do agree with what u say, because we can't grow to that point, without getting the full support and waiting for the communities to evolve their thinking more (since if they dont, it will just play a bad role on us. they will get too scared out of all this and just go against it) it's like this in my country It's an eastern european country which says it all..some ppl (who have lived in rich countries that are super open to sexualities,races and equality of the sexes) want to push some beliefs really sudden and hard on everyone else..and that is good, but it's too quick for a community who has grown up in such enviornment. You can't just push them out of their comfort zone without them having to adapt first - they will RIOT!> And that is what they do. We literally look like clowns when someone "bright" tries something like that, and pushes our whole movement down.. It should be easy and slow..that way the chances of it succeeding and people getting used to it, are Far bigger. About the Sam thing..they should be able to live their live how they want them getting hated on..tbh is from their own community for probably Half of the part - that's the sad part! Sure, there are right-wingers who also do it..but they always do stuff like that.. Also, they have enough people around them that could tell them that some of the outfits or stuff that they do, Will drive them hate. They have a team that can really do wonders, so I don't understand why it hasn't been used more..It really feels like Sam is just trying to get a reaction out of people at this point.. (sure, these type of provocations can bring change..but it's still comes with a price)
brazil Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 As the legendary Britney Spears once said, "if they don't like it, change the channel"
BletaRexher Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Social media killed off any hope of gays being accepted as normal citizens. You have half of them looking like copy paste Omar Apollo and the other half looks like Euphoria rejects. There’s really nothing wrong with that besides being a reflection of the group-think social media has instilled in us. The main problem is attention will always be paid to the flamboyant gays. There’s no representation for more traditionally “normal GP” appearing gays. The thought that a gay could just blend into straights is something the GP never wants to accept. They will always only focus on flamboyant ones which makes them take all the heat while also getting all the praise. I really doubt being “normal” will ever be accepted by a majority of the gay community sadly. We all have to be in circuit parties snorting poppers or else we have no identity. Just like the Chris guy on Meghan’s TikToks, at first he seemed like a really traditional man who’s gay. Now he’s wearing maid outfits in heels holding kids. Nothing wrong with that but of course it’s what gets attention. It’s all just adding fuel to the mentally challenged conservatives old attacks of pedophilia that seems to be coming back.

Vroom Vroom Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 This is a stale take. The gays have now infiltrated families all over the world in larger numbers than ever before. Society has even forced conservative families to be more accepting to their gay sons/daughters, in the US at least. Sam Smith having a sexual video doesn’t change that. In fact, the majority of the straights probably don’t even know this video exists. I know I didn’t. I bop to Unholy and ignored the rest of the album like a normal person
cockatoo Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 zzzz gay people are not a monolith. If you don't want to be hypersexual of expressive then you don't have to be. Don't tell other people how to conduct themselves if they're not hurting anyone. Conservatives are always going to hate you regardless of what you do. Hate crime and kill me for all I care, I'd rather that then have to pretend to be someone I'm not and be miserable doing so. Also the whole "there's no moderate gay representation" argument is such nonsense These are people's dads, uncles, brothers, colleagues, friends, nephews, cousins etc. If you live in a fairly well populated area, chances are you know at least one gay person. People's experience of gay people doesn't come solely from social media and the news. Go and touch some grass.

mystery Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Oh my Zeus, this is so horrible and hyper sexual!
Katamari Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 3 hours ago, Istan4R said: It goes both ways. The whole industry and pop culture as a whole is so sexualized. You really can’t watch anything without a random sex scene or reference being somewhere and I’m not even a prude like that. People are just doing it for shock factor to compensate for lackluster music, films, shows, etc. Everything is about what gets the most attention and not quality of a script or lyrics, etc. Agreed
Dr. Alexander Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Serious Question: Is the LGBTQ+ community fine with the way they are being portrayed and represented in the media? The Asian and Jewish communities, for example, are very particular with the way they want to be portrayed in the media. They are extremely vocal of what should be shown in the media, and what not to protect their image.
gatito Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 some of you seem to hate yourselves so much and it’s very sad listen some straight folks are simply homophobic and they will NEVER stop hating on us no matter what, no matter how prudish and well behaved you are, they want us DEAD they want us GONE maybe seek professional help/counseling cause being a pick me gay is only rotting away your soul and keeping you from enjoying life

Asian representation is so rare that we basically have 1 good Asian movie/series per year if we are lucky.

Phonography Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 But have we ever afforded it? Do you think 10 years ago this video would've beeen accepted? Because probably 10 years ago this video wouldn't have been made in the first place, we should stop being so dramatic.
Mobility Mary Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I am so tired of gays who make orgies, STDs, sleeping around, huge age gaps and kinks their whole personality, pretending like you are a pick me for not liking those things. No one cares about your sex life, why do you feel the need to bring it up in inappropriate situations and at pride parades? Being hypersexual is not related to being gay so I don't see how those things belong at pride.

Last big studio project for Asian representation is Crazy Rich Asian and Mulan (Disney). And the latter is terrible in general. Not to mention that not all Asians are in a monolith.
Rotunda Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Eh. If anything, we just need the diversity of experiences reflected to the wider public. Some gays are gonna be having orgies in the club, some gays are gonna spend their weekends playing board games. Some gays are drag queens. Some gays work at the bank. Some gays are polyamorous. Some gays married their college sweetheart. The end goal is to not see ourselves or be seen as a singular entity.
raven Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Hyper sexual or not, we will always be “othered” by conservatives and if it’s not for being hyper sexual, they will find something else to demonize us for. So live your truth whatever that may be
