    It’s gay to walk quickly. It’s gay to take your own bags to the shops. It’s gay to have empathy.

    Holy shit there are a lot of people out there who are very insecure with themselves.

      things people have took me I’m gay for:

      reading
      cooking
      cleaning
      being decently dressed (not even well-dressed)
      having skin care products
      using conditioner on my hair
      driving a sedan/compact car
      playing nintendo or jrpg games
      enjoying classic music/opera/theater/ art & foreign films owning a cat
      drinking cocktails/lattes/milkshakes
      riding/racing bicycles
      not playing team ballsports

      the definition of straight man is very very narrow for some folks, basically drive a giant truck, be unable to take care of yourself, and be into sports and action pop cuture, rock and roll/rap, and only ever do ‘basic’ things.

      if you do anything outside of the box, you’re gay. because ‘normal straight men’ don’t do those things, and if they do, they only do it to impress women or something. like I can go to the opera with my girlfriend and hate it, but if i go myself and enjoy it I’m gay.

        Funnily enough, people who have such narrow definition of manliness usually refuse to acknowledge gender identity as a concept. It honestly baffles me sometimes.

      I can see how right-wing idiots might call empathy gay, but bags or walking quickly? I really don’t get that.

        Your own bags = reusable = eco-sustainability = weak.

        I hae neer heard associating reusing bags to gay, but I can see how it may work “logically”.
