This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They're people, just like everyone else, and I'm sure there's some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they're just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.

I consider myself an ally, and I'll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats... It doesn't matter.

IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.

My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

I don't care whether this story is true or not but I can absolutely confirm that lesbian friends fucking rock

My friends have reciprocated every ounce of support I've given, have helped be to better myself, boosted my confidence, have given me perspectives on life and interpersonal interaction that I otherwise may have been blind to, and are generally wonderful to be around.

Sorry to rant just really love my friends and wanted to tell people they are missing out although of course your experience may vary

I do not care how true or untrue this may be.

Upvote for wholesome.

Lesbian friends are eternal

Isn't that the new My Little Pony movie?

Ahahahahahaha. Well, not the new one:

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

They are still after me, generations have passed and those lesbian friends of my great great great great father do not how to quit

I tried stabbing, burning, decapitation, even slicing them up in little pieces using a blender. They always return

I do not know how much longer I can take it, this bloodline needs to end with me, it is the only way for the curse to end. The curse of the eternal lesbians

.* becomes gay .*

I had a girlfriend in my 20s that used to hook up with other girls. For some reason I never considered that cheating and never cared. No idea why it never bothered me.

Even in cases where it ends a relationship, there's something slightly less bad about a partner cheating on you with a gender different than your own. "What do they have that I don't have?? Oh, right, a vagina and boobs/a dick."

Relationships are all different and unique. Something that's cheating to you may not be to this relationship, or vice versa. I'm a proponent of open relationships, with good communication - if we discuss it and there's no deception, it's not cheating.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I totally hear you there. No problem with whatever people want to do. Everyone should be able to pursuit their happiness if it isn’t causing others harm or distress. Live and let live.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Traditional relationship models are so weird.

Making up all these different definitions of “cheating” vs “emotional cheating” and distinguishing them from other instances of hurtfully not honoring agreements.

It's just that: people have an agreement with each other and one of them expressed that it's very important for them emotionally for the other to honor it. Then the other didn't. That expectedly hurts.

Why is there a special word when the agreement is about sex?

Should it bother you? Was your girlfriend being dishonest to you, or mistreating you? In the end, if you're fine with it, then its fine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I’ve seen more often than not (like this post) that other guys are uncomfortable and consider their girlfriend with another girl a deal breaker. To me it makes no sense.

My girlfriend never really talked to me about it, just kinda found out or she might mention something here or there. Didn’t really matter.

This was also back in the day - raves, bars, drinking, drugs, sex. The good old days lol.

Maybe polyamory is something for you

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

My thoughts exactly. My wife loves being with other women, and we both like mff relationships, so we just got a girlfriend. Solves so many problems and makes raising a kid together so much easier with an extra set of hands. Makes the various medical issues between all of us easier to deal with.

Way to break serial monogamy cycle

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’m in my early 40s with four kids now and that seems like way too much work lol. To be clear though, I definitely would have considered it cheating if she was with another dude. It was just with other women it wasn’t an issue at all for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

in that case you may have some unrealized homophobia, causing you to not view queer interactions as fully valid compared to straight interactions

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

lol what? Not sure what you read but I said I had no problem with my girlfriend with other girls.

Furthermore I’ve hung out with tons of gay people. My brother was gay (died of fentanyl). Zero issues with whatever people want to do in their bedroom. None of my business anyway.

I’m with you on this. It doesn’t feel like cheating at all unless it’s with a man

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Might even get a threesome out of it!

I've always loved that the dickhead king is the same actor as the goofy boss from Super Troopers.
