I know that there are a lot of negative stereotypes about gay people…

and I want you all to know that… I’m here to confirm them all.

As a member of the LGBTTQQIAPLMNOPRSTUVWXYZ community…

I want you to know that I think our acronyms are so fucking confusing. I’m so sorry. I wish that we could make things so much easier for you. I wish you didn’t have to google all of our acronyms to know what the fuck we’re talking about. I think we, as a community, forget how fucking confusing it is to straight people who don’t know our acronyms.

I can only speak as a gay man — dating is really hard. Dating is really hard for everyone, don’t get me wrong I know that I have friends who are women. We hear you loud and clear about how terrible straight men are. We know.

Imagine if you were a man dating another man. Because even though we are different in a lot of ways…we ARE THE SAME IN A LLLOOOTTT of ways.

But I feel like dating for gay men is a liiiitle bit harder. Like if dating were like dance dance revolution straight people would be the medium setting.

For me it’s like expert level.

Another stereotype of gay people is that we’re weak. We’re all sissies.

But it’s not true. Just last week I got in a fight…

or flight situation.

And I ran away from that shit so fast.

AHHHHHHHH.

I think young gay kids have it much better than even I did in high school 4 years ago. I wasn’t out of the closet until I was 17 but I think a lot of people knew I was gay. Especially all of the bullies. But the bullies at my school weren’t very creative. Like, they would just repeat what you were back to you.
