Why are straight men so threatened by the LGBT community🏳️‍🌈🤔?

Question

Why do straight men always feel the need to challenge or be rude towards gay men? It's like they have there guard up as soon as you meet them as if you're some kind of weirdo. Personally I believe it's fed by the media and the need to blame others for there own short comings and unhappiness which makes us such easy targets, I've lost count on a daily how many offensive comments I recieve either about my tan, being LGBT, my voice, its something I truly believe is socially conditioned but needs to change.

“Personally I believe it's fed by the media and the need to blame others for there own short comings and unhappiness which makes us such easy targets,”

Let’s take a look at the calendar. It’s 2023 not 1985. Gay marriage is legal in all 50 states and the alphabet people (who consist of A LOT more than gay people) are literally getting a new letter or symbol added to their long identity list now.

Truth is most straight guys do NOT care about your lifestyle. It was supposedly all about government and society staying out of business of what two consenting adults do in the bedroom, right?

But now:

You got CEO of Disney saying that 50% of all Disney movie characters need to represent LGBTQI*#~. Other then “teaching” young prepubescent children about “sexual identity” is that 50% even realistic?
You have not a day. Not a week. But entire month to celebrate “pride”.
Gay identity is used a token of value for job hiring and political representation. Pete Buttigieg has absolutely zero qualifications to be the head of the department of transportation (and it shows). But he’s special since he’s gay though. Very special.
If a celebrity or athlete chooses not to wear a pride night jersey (Ivan Provolov) because of spiritual beliefs he’s automatically a so horrible and cruel and vicious homophobe. Not because he ever said or did anything. No it’s because he declined to participate in what you fucking people try to go around FORCING other people to do.

So I call bullshit on your assumption that straight guys in mass go around acting homophobic and discriminatory towards gay people every day. The vast majority of just want to keep to ourselves. You do your thing and I’ll do mine.

But that’s not enough for you people now. For the longest time you complained about society forcing you to conform. Now you think it’s okay trying to go around forcing other people to openly support and conform to your ideology.

I don't know I think there are straight guys are afraid of being called gay. there afraid of being pick on. it kind like how girls are afraid of being called a slut. most straight guys call other straight guys gay but that not what they are saying what they mean is they trying to call the other guy a weak guy. like being gay is weak some how it not. so guy do not want do any thing gay out of fear of this. No gay guy ever call a straight guy straight and started laughing when they make out with a girl in the hall way at school. it they did the guy be like who care she hot. But if someone said they to straight guy that be afraid of being called gay. any way if you are gay who care. other guy are just trying say that to make other straight guy feel bad. most guy do not understand what gay men are that why they fine it weirdo. why do gay men have strange voice I don't know I fine it weirdo. . I am ok with it. I think the media (like movie put gay people in there it) like they push it to had just say look we have gay people in the movie gay people agree with me on that. the media need stop pushing people who are not gay to try be gay. also some gay people need take a joke better like jokes are ok some gay people are ok with jokes

Because the homos are advertising their fetishes to everyone, and no one gives a fxck

and tbh, it only matters when someone straight would be trying to find an “original model” of the opposite sex and they encounter a replica.. and that replica hides their originating genitalia or genitalia identity to that other person until something much later. I thankfully never had to encounter something as shxtty as that, but if I did, I’d punch somebody for sure and call it defense

because in my defense no one should be lied to. Not even in “serious lgbtq relationships.”

Anyways I knew people who identified as that and I just left them be. Thankfully they didn’t bother me.

I don’t mind them kissing walls. I will be HIGHLY HIGHLY BOTHERED if they make moves on me.

They can ask… and I’ll say no..

Just don’t try to paint a pretty picture or make me seem like a bad person if I refuse to partake in any form of that.

No I will not wave a flag. No one waves a flag with my face on it.

Adults people. Be adults.

What’s next BDSM people are going to wave bdsm flags on chain poles or something?

Just get a room!

Straight men I've know who had a problem, stated the main reason is

The whole coming out thing

They claim that they come out, to be accepted but straight people don't come out as straight, that is strictly a LGBT thing. They don't CARE if someone is that, they just don't need to co me out.

They got hit on by a gay man and that makes them think others think they are gay and it really ticks them off, that some other guy thought they were gay and hit on them.

That's what they've told me when I say, why you hating so much.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Perhaps they are fighting their inner repressed homosexual desires?

Gay men often say people who are obsessed or theathen by homosexuals and LGBT are probably gay themselves in denial.

I personally think there's some truth to that.

I however am not threaten by LGBT, I just think it's disgusting and unnatural sexual desires.

Moreover, the LGBT has become to damn demanding on having things their way and often trying to target little kids with homosexual propaganda and to me that's 100% unacceptable.

JamesDiaz11 · Answer

Men have always been perturbed by effeminate/ gay men, it's not social programming. There is a certain way men expect other men to act, there are understandings among us, and when someone doesn't follow those universal parallels they face social repercussions.

When I was a kid we played smear the queer, barely knowing what a gay person was (if at all), but we just knew that it wasn't something that sat well with us. We weren't insecure, it's just gross to us.

Furthermore, the rainbow mafia is all powerful now across media, and is promoted by nearly every big brand that I hardly believe they have social conditioning against them- if people still feel the same way despite the constant bombardment of fags on TV/ social media, then there is something intrinsic about the disgust.

Guy13 · Answer

What bothers about LGBT lifestyle is that it logically, both theoretically and fundamentally, is nonsensical.

What I mean as related LG part, is “dudes look at your parts as nothing fits together as One ☝️ in communion”whether practically or theoretically.

And within that design ladies and men, Purpose, Form, and Function are without application as Union is purposefully defined as natural Reproduction, spread, and take dominion over the earth.

Two of same-biological sex anatomical features does not meet the test of Purpose which is the Standard of judgment. And, therefore, designed Function is and impossibility.

The whole thing, logically, implodes on its own. The only conclusion is given over to their Lusts.

godfatherfan · Answer

I don't think the majority of straight guys are 'threatened'. I am not speaking for the backward hicks down the in deep south of course. I am all for people doing their own thing as long as it isn't being pushed on me, whatever that "thing" is.

The only issue I have is that every single show on TV and every movie now has to have the mixed couple, the gay guy, the lesbian, etc. So you are taking a small portion of the total population, and putting it into everything. All of that doesn't need to be in every freaking show. Make it equal to the percentage of the population.

Kinkyhubby · Answer

I don't care what people do with the lives, and do it behind close doors. I don't talk about my sex life with anyone when it comes to my wife. I About past experiences but never My current.

I am tired of it being shoved down our throats. Most TV shows have gay and lesbian couples, but half those show have married people sleeping around, getting g divorce or they are just single heterosexual. It starts being an attack on majority of the population.

I get it they are trying to show younger people they aren't alone. The problem is when their is a movie or TV show, they ask where is the LGBT person, or why didn't they lick an LGBT person. That is my problem with it.

RobEdelman · Answer

I don’t dislike LBGTQ people. In fact I’ve worked with a couple of gay men who are cool people. I just dislike how LBGTQ culture is constantly shoved down our throats. Every day I read emails with that acronym in it from our diversity equity and inclusion department. I don’t care about anyone’s sexual orientation, and frankly it shouldn’t be a topic in the workplace. I’m not telling everyone how straight I am, or that I’m proud that I like women, because that’s incredibly dumb. We should accept everyone for who they are, and move on with our lives, and not stay fixated on the idea of LBGTQ and how it needs to be praised.

David_Kek · Answer

I've met and been friends with a number of gay men, and had no issue, including when they've flirted with me either playfully or before they realized I'm as straight as they come.
Those that identify with the LGBT community however, those that i have come across are ideological weirdos that don't seem to understand boundaries or privacy. The last LGBT march i saw online included a selection of gay men wearing BDSM gear in public; gimps suits with dog masks and collars, etc, in full view of children. That is too far, and not civil. In the modern age no one expects you to stay in the closet, yet they least expect you to keep some degree of privacy and keep it in the bedroom like everyone else does.
Do you understand that? It's not gay men people have a problem with, it's just people like you that don't see the issue.

RingOfFire · Answer

Not threatened, grossed out and offended. I don't care what you do in private, that's your business. But keep your sexuality to yourself. I don't want to hear about it.

I think a lot of the animosity towards this community is the fault of the community itself. All the in your face sexually explicit demonstrations, parades and activism is crass, disrespectful and leads to the opposite effect that it claims to support... that is tolerance.

The ones you should aim your anger at are those people who do these things, not the people who are rightfully offended by it.

Valso · Answer

Because they're not straight and they have their own sexual attractions to other men but they're ashamed of that. And that shame comes from their environment. I know of only one thing that can make you ashamed of who you are and that's religion. Religion is the most homophobic thing in existence and it can make you ashamed and even guilty for who you are. Let's don't forget what this "saint" has said:

Why are straight men so threatened by the LGBT community🏳️‍🌈🤔?

I'm pretty sure he would have said the same thing about LGBT people.

nitsuj86 · Answer

I think you are trolling. I'm a straight man that has gay, straight, trans friends. Literally have never heard this issue before. Sounds more like you might just be an asshole or a weirdo and people are just searching for things to insult you with.

My guess is it has more to do with YOU, then who you like to fuck lol.

connemara_crocodile · Answer

Because we're tired of having your sexuality and personal preferences constantly rubbed on our faces.

With so many news, and parades, and ads, and stories, and guests on talk shows, and old characters on movies/comics changing their gender or sex preferences, etc etc etc. you're not changing the minds of those who hate lgbt, you're only tiring the people who used to accept you.

I never had a problem with gays, or whatever identity before, but I do now after the past 5 years...

Anonymous · Answer

When people don't like you, it doesn't mean they feel "threatened" by you; that is simply your claim because it makes you feel that they are wrong and, in contrast, you occupy some moral high ground. No, when heterosexual men don't like you, it just means they don't like you. You want us to be tolerant and understanding but you don't want to tolerate people who dislike you. So how tolerant do you think you really are?

LiamJHayden · Answer

Most don't GAF what you do in private, but once you enter the public arena with your world view you will get resistance from those with different ones. I'm a limited government advocate and experience the same thing when I talk publicly about government plunder.

Just like Planned Parent Hood, just like Black Lives Matter. We can be on your side. We will always do the thing. When you get so entrenched, you fail. Get woke, go broke is real. What do you care though? At least real people like you are Conservative. They (we) act out in rebellion. Why does Hollywood continue down this path? It doesn't earn them a dime.

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

Seems to me..

Straight guys are thinking about their current or future offspring, and feel that acceptance means conformity, and that conformity would only put their child at increased risk of indoctrination during stages of child development where they are vulnerable. If the dad is straight, he can't conceive of that lifestyle and is protecting his offspring from it, at least that's my guess on what is a common point of view among straight men.

Just a thought.

Anonymous · Answer

Here is an uncomfortable fact for you:

Because of deeply conservative straight men you have never known what it is like to live in a world where being gay is a crime.

Rest assured that everyone with a tan is getting comments, you could even go as far as to say that getting comments is the reason for getting a tan.

People with funny voices get comments.

These things are nothing to do with your genitals or what you choose to do with them.

I've never felt threatened by the LGBT community, but that may be because I had relatives who were gay, and when I visited if I were flirted with, I'd politely but firmly say I was not interested, and have made some fast friends male and female.

Jay3344 · Answer

Broad generalization that seems to be more subjective than objective. I think if you’re speaking about the US, gay people can get married legally. So compare that to 40 years ago, not sure if it’s a threat as much as steps towards reversing outdated views. If you’re talking about countries in Africa or the Middle East then yea maybe it’s more because of religion.

And keep your sex life out of schools.

Guanfei · Answer

Lol "threatened". You'd do anything to feel powerful. No one is threatened, we're only annoyed to be constantly attacked, demonized, and even our sexuality denied now. All of that by a minority who is attention whoring by oversexualizing themselves everywhere, including to kids, and is a sum of every toxic attitude known to mankind.

snowboarder720 · Answer

It’s because it’s a community that doesn’t involve them. When there’s a rise in a community that does involve them they feel defensive of their own culture so they put down on the LGBTQ+ community because they feel that it empowers them.

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

We aren’t threatened. And we shouldn’t be rude. But it’s natural for us to be disgusted by perversion in public. There’s no sense trying to turn that into you something more sympathetic to the cause.

AviatorTom · Answer

I don't think anyone is threatened by the LGBTQ+ community. Most people get upset when any minority group tries to act like it's a majority, and LGBTQ+ is a minority.

Anonymous · Answer

I’m not threatened. If a straight couple is making out in front of me I wouldn’t like, and same goes for a gay couple. I just feel like the LGBTQ+ views are shoved down people’s throats. I’m not enforcing my religious beliefs on you so i don’t feel like lgbtq+ views should be enforced in school or especially to kids.

they aren't. it's just that the LGBT community demands everyone to "accept" and "respect" not just "tolerates" them while they do neither accept nor tolerate or respect anyone who disagrees with them.

I am a straight guy. I do not have any problem with LGBT people, everyone has the right to express themselves and I support that. However, I don't have very good memories of gay guys. I have been kinda sexually assaulted by gay guys two times in my life, last year in an ally one gay guy groped me. The problem is when you are a straight guy no one takes this situation seriously and tells you to get over it.
