I deal with homophobia every day, while basically everything aligns with straight ppl's sexual orientation. If they get offended by ppl joking about losing our gay kween to the straights on a predominately gay forum, then they can honestly **** off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's pretty understandable. The thing is Gaga loves everybody. She's herself is bisexual so I think she just felt a lil more comfortable in the LGBT crowd. It's not so much that she "forgot" about the gays. It's just that she realizes that other "groups" need love too. She still goes to Dinah Shore every year (which is a lesbian/bisexual themed event) and she still fights for equality so it's not like she totally forgot about "the gays". I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it "sounds stupid" because it's a very rare situation. Straight people also don't have to deal with what the LGBT community goes through - and I am very caring towards what the LGBT community has to deal with from cruel unnaccepting people. GGD is the only time I've felt weird about being straight or like I shouldn't talk about it. Yeah, some LGBT people can be straight up ****s. Don't pay them any attention, they're just bored and have a need to be bitchy for some reason. It just goes to show that no group of people is free from rude people.

Adakam 2 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I agree, this attitude is why nóone likes us and we cant have nice things, equality goes both ways and us gays often forget that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 17,101 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't think it's all that serious, I think it's said in jest, but I wouldn't classify it as hetero-phobia. If someone is seriously concerned that she is trying to capture a 'straight audience' I don't think it's because they don't like straight people, it's because they don't want to be abandoned. Gaga is a gay icon, she has openly supported the LGBT community, she has always presented herself in a very queer way. We don't often get catered too. We don't often have the gay-friendly blockbuster movies or the singer that's as openly and almost exclusively targeted to LGBT people. Straights have a lot, most things are advertised to them, most things are created for them. I could see it being legitimately disappointing to some that one of the only real mainstream LGBT focused artists is focusing on a different demographic completely. I'm loving Gaga's new direction, I'm more excited about Joanne than probably any other album before, so this isn't my opinion. It's just a defence of those who might hold that opinion.

Borislshere 53,084 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 is this really classified as heterophobia? Because you get referred to as "the straights" the same way we talk about "the gays"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLLGaga 928 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's like saying black ppl shouldn't joke about white ppl because it might offend them. Maybe we can talk when white ppl are enslaved for a few centuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 and yes, this post is a bit "over the top" and "Heterophobia" was just chosen as a counterpoint to Homophobia just to get across that some of you really should think of the entire fanbase before you make snarky comments.

And LGBT folks deal with the same **** as straights PLUS heteronormativity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Do you ever see a gay person complaining about straight relationships on TV, etc? Cuz I see a lot of straight ppl complaining about the "gay agenda" whenever they see gay relationships being represented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak 6,653 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Honestly the nerve to even try to compare jokes made on this site to something like systemic or societal bigotry Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
