"100% queer as f4gs"?

[SlowLoris 1,064]

I hate this

[Ladle Ghoulash 23,542]

I get what he means, but ofc this is not going to be received well lmao

Nothing wrong. The gays hate having this conversation. There's not one way to be gay/straight/whatever that you are.

[HelloHangoverz 17,450]

Knee jerk reaction was to think wtf is this however I read what he said, and it makes sense, and it's actually quite touching. We should focus on the substance and not the headline w this one

lol new sexual orientation dropped!

 

jk if the boy wants to identify as culturally queer let him.

as they say "cultural love is cultural love"

[LaFama 4,643]

Just say you're a theatre kid 

[Gohan 16,396]

I thought I read somewhere before that he was involved with men, wtf. Manuela effect I guess

... growing up around & appreciating queer culture doesn't make you queer any more than growing up around the culture of a specific race makes you a part of that race

sounds like some rachel dolezal for gays kinda crap

[Modern Ecstasy2 2,202]

Queer is definitely something that is described and understood very differently from person to person. I don’t see the issue.

Cultural appreciation 

[DrKindnessKunt1999 6,062]

I feel like he phrased it badly. He could have said, “I’ve surrounded myself around queer people and learned a lot from them and I enjoy a lot from queer culture.” 

It’ll be the equivalent of me calling myself “culturally Jewish, Mexican, Korean, Persian, and Russian” just because I grew up around Jewish, Mexican, Korean, Persian, and Russian people.
