Some gay people at my school constantly brag about how gay they are (mostly to eachother), and it’s extremely annoying. It’s like they think people like me actually care that they’re gay.

If I were gay and I heard someone talking like this, I’d certainly brag more, because I’d find it extremely annoying to listen to how annoyed that person was that I was talking about being gay.

It comes off as “you can be gay, just don’t bother me with your gayness.” Similar to how chyron is bothered by “flamboyant men.”

So I’m unreasonable for being annoyed by people ramble on with eachother about “I’m more gay than you” “No I’m more gay because this” “No I’m so gay I did this.” Okay.

I’m not going to be rude to these people and tell them to shut up, but I won’t start caring about how gay they are. Because I honestly don’t care.

They aren’t talking out of liberation. They just think they’re funny/interesting, but they’re not.

Did they ask you to care?

Isn’t that what attention-seeking behavior is at its core?

Isn’t it hard for you to make that judgement solely based on the reporting of one person who may or may not be biased?

One of my best friends growing up was a 50-year-old lesbian. It’s all good with me.

I really don’t think you have to say this in order to make your point. You sound like one of those white dudes who says “I have lots of black friends!”

I knew I’d get this response from someone; figures that it’s you. I don’t really care what you think I sound like.

That’s fine. I’m not saying you’re a homophobe, I’m saying there was zero reason to throw that sentence in.

My reasoning was to add a bit more depth to my own story and experiences with gay people, particularly since a young male preteen hanging out with a 50-year-old lesbian in the 80s goes beyond the typical “some of my best friends are [whatever]” statement.

I tire of the virtue signaling performed by whites being offended on behalf of their minority friends. It’s another form of “some of my best friends are [whatever]” and I’m always surprised when the hypocrisy escapes them.

That’s an interesting interpretation of it.

Artists aren’t obligated to do anything. If it’s an obligation then it isn’t art.

They aren’t obligated, but many leave out diversity almost by accident or out of habit. I think we should be careful about forcing an artist to do something they don’t feel is right for their story, but there should be someone there to check and ask the questions that need asking. Does this character really need to be a white man? Is there a good reason why 90% of the speaker characters are dudes?

Again, it’s not a matter of forcing, it’s a matter of looking long and hard at the work and asking why it isn’t diverse. The truth is, most of the time, there isn’t a good reason.

I suspect the reason is that people write about what they know and most writers old and experienced enough to be writing big movies or TV shows probably don’t “know” diversity so they don’t naturally write about it. Since most writers are men, they write men more. That’s my assumption.

If it’s a story about being black for example, I’d get why a white writer might not want to go there. But if they’re skin color isn’t that important to their story, there’s not a great reason why not.

Because you might get an army of SJWs

Geez man.

I agree with you but for some reason I can empathize because I get annoyed and even hate people for far more arbitrary things so I shouldn’t be talking.

Lol, you always get points in my book for honesty at least.
