  • It was more other people being surprised because they had the idea that everyone who was gay was flamboyant, not us thinking it was a bad thing ourselves or wishing we were different. We were both happy with ourselves, just amused about stereotypes persisting.
    I agree, I’m glad that perception is less prevalent now though I did also have an ex manager that was homophobic in that exact way a couple of years ago.


  • I had a conversation with a guy at a gay bar years ago and we chatted about hearing these comments a lot because we didn’t act camp or have “that voice”, and weren’t seen as LGBT at all by a lot of people unless it came up. Turned out he was the owner of the place and had been active in setting up the LGBT+ scene there for decades but still had this happen.













  • King James Bible has a bit in “Acts” about this actually: 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

    (then theres a lot of "Paul made really good arguments for God and some people agreed with him)

    Caveat-I have read most of the Bible in bits and pieces but it’s been a while, I think I got the context though.
