I’m Sick of Gay Men Blaming Straight Women For Their Problems
“Something inside of my soul will never fully gaf about str8s being mad at DL men for lying. Y’all created that problem lol.”
I sat on my bed and balled my fists in anger once I saw this tweet.
This was from a gay man I’ve followed heavily on YouTube since 2013.
His YouTube channel has over 70k subscribers. He made a living discussing hot topics around pop culture and social justice.
I always thought his videos were funny, informative, and entertaining as hell.
As years went by, I found myself less and less moved by his content and more so angered by his negative undertones towards women.
And that’s when I realized a lot of other people, especially in the comments, agreed with his views.
The main one?
Blaming women for DL or closeted gay men lying to them about being straight.
The gay man I mentioned earlier is conflating 2 different issues together.
- Homophobia
- Being a dishonest asshole
