Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Our Partnered Discord Server: GayWave

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

To quote someone who put it far better than I could ever have.

See, getting a compliment from someone of the same sex is like getting a huge bag of money from a foreign country. You can't use it in your day to day life. You don't even consider ever visiting it. But sure is a good thing to know that if you ever go there, you'll be a highly prized individual.

Getting a compliment is always good.

I am just happy to know when someone finds me attractive, straight, gay or other.

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That surprised me the first time I (cishet, a teenager at the time) was hit on by another guy. I was flattered much more than I was weirded out. I wouldn’t have expected that reaction.

He was a nice guy. I hope he found someone.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This.

I was flattered...as well as glad that at least once that night, even if the guy was gonna get shot down, he wouldn't be given a rough time about it.

It hadn't occurred to me until then what a minefield the single bar scene must be for a gay person, and of course right on the heels of that, my sudden understanding of why gay bars were such a big thing.

I'm not very bright, but I am very oblivious!

I'd warn any galpals I've got to stay away from this guy who just admitted he thinks it's normal for men to automatically begin harassing people of the gender(s) they are attracted to.

[–] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd love for anyone to hit on me. I'm not picky.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hey there wondercock, how's those handsome testicles?

[–] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

I'm glad you noticed. I just had them polished.

[–] Axiochus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

To be faiiiir, his human form is super sexy imo.

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

I don't know, I always like being flirted with for long enough that any sex realizes I'm a walking disaster. Makes the suffering special.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Weird, literally watching this show for the first time today

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're in for a treat. Aubrey Plaza deserved an Emmy.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She's great so far. The blonde girl who plays Syd is pretty terrible though, hope her character/acting gets better.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

She's a little stiff but I think that's part of her character. How far in are you?

Fantastic is still an understatement.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I like to compliment nice not good looking straight men, I love to see them smiling.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I don't care if you're gay, please hit on me.

[–] 108@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

As a straight dude I always feel flattered

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I didn't give you permission to use my pictures! But fr I'd just be happy someone hit on me.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This guy will hit on you, if you promise to wipe his ass for him.

[–] joshfaulkner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Nosey, have I ever told you what a talented musician you are?"

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

"Twelve milkmen is theoretically possible."

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I am not gay, but hey a compliment is a compliment

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Depends on the situation of course, but I’d likely not be able to tell I was being hit on to begin with.

[–] Ratulf@feddit.de -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's no straight dude, that's a homophobic dude if it happens unprompted.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're not mutually exclusive.

[–] Ratulf@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

True, not exclusive at all.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then whats the point of your comment, exactly?

[–] Ratulf@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

What it says. If someone tells you unprompted not to hit on them, they assume gay men jump on everyone else unless they opt out first, which is homophobic.
