What is your opinion on straights co-opting gay culture?


Recommended Posts

Like when they go to the gay clubs and then get offended if you hit on them.

i do not waste my time caring about stuff like this personally

It's annoying tbh. More straight girls keep bringing their straight boyfriends/guy friends to gay areas. They're taking over :deadbanana2:

I don’t see the issue with it. Especially when AAVE and black culture in general is being appropriated by the masses. 
 

Straight people saying “yassss gawd slay sis!” isn’t doing any harm. 
 

And straight people going to gay clubs isn’t either. Sure, they could be kinder when they reject you but who cares. On to the next. It’s nothing world stopping.

And when straight people don’t want us in their clubs, then what? You’ll cry homophobia. 
 

Just find another guy to hook up with. It’s really a non-issue. Stop thinking with your dicks.

It doesn’t matter to me.

Be serious, a straight couple in a gay space isn’t doing any inherent harm to the community. Straight people are giving these gay establishments money, drag bunches especially. One less guy you have a chance of going home with isn’t harmful to the community. 
 

You basically want gay and straight establishments to be segregated for that reason? It’s petty. It’s a nonissue. They aren’t coming into the space to hurt anyone, they’re just trying to enjoy their night as you are. Surely there isn’t a shortage of gay men frequenting those places either.

 

Be careful what you wish for. Then when straight people don’t want gays in, that opens the flood gates for race segregated establishments. Is that really the road we should go down because you couldn’t hook up with that straight girls boyfriend? Please.

Them being there and enjoying their time isn't the problem. Them taking over and being annoying in our spaces is the problem. It's our space to feel comfortable not being judged or looked at weird. And yes I know it's not all of them but it's getting more common.

 

And when did I mention hooking up with them lol

you're focusing on this one point when the issue is more so straight girls bringing their homophobic boyfriends to these places or straight girls that love their gay best friends but are disgusted by the thought of lesbians hitting on them

But that’s anywhere you go. Gay people can be just as judgmental if not worse to their own. I’ve personally met quite a few straight people in gay clubs that I ended up becoming friends with outside of there. Some are genuine allies. A few bad apples shouldn’t ruin it for the ones that genuinely support us.

Saying "And when straight people don’t want us in their clubs, then what?" when that already happens anyway is just :skull: most clubs are straight ones and most lgbt people don't feel safe going to those. I don't think that straight people shouldn't go to gay clubs at all, but I do see where some of the concerns come from and it's not at all comparable to the idea of straight people not allowing us entry into their clubs which, again, are the majority.

its been a while since ive been to a club lol but I havent seen this as an issue in the past

I just dislike when they use slang but hate the group they use it from. This happens too much and its tiring. :doc:

It's ok if they are respectful and understand they should NOT invade those safe spaces with their negativity and ignorance. Otherwise, get the f out

The first thing i straight guy do at a gay club is tell everyone around him he is not guy and the get pissed if someone flirts with him.

then the girlfriend starts touching your "cute" butt

I don’t really think about it. The GSM community annoys me as much as cishet people these days.

It’s a lot more complicated than that unfortunately.

 

Time and time again when I see lots of cis/het folk going to gay clubs the club itself changes. The atmosphere/music/clientele looses its queer identity over time and then it just becomes yet another club.

 

It’s important that we have safe spaces for queer people, especially in regards to nightlife…

I don't care.

 

If the alternative is homophobia, this is a non-issue.

Sis, it's not heterophobia to say people should expect to be hit on by people of the same gender if they go to a space that is dedicated and organized around people attracted to the same gender hitting on one another. :toofunny3:

 

Of course people have the right to politely decline, but the OP's point is when people enter that space and then have often extremely negative or even violent reactions to such expected behaviors.
