Anyone else think that many people are trying to be LGBTQ because it is cool?

[Dušan]

Guy from my island who studies on Art Academy to become an actor came out as gay and bring a guy to his parents house. They were shocked.

I know for certain he showed no homo tendencies before, as he liked me and was a normal boy. Most people think, he was brainwashed by woke climate in such art schools and that becoming gay can tremendously help his career.

You can be only attracted to men romantically but find women sexually attractive

Not always. I mean, I don't walk in the street, see a woman and think, "I'd love a piece of that pussy". I do think that of men, though. It's very circumstantial. The situation has to be 100% right for me to wander into those waters.

I try to imagine myself in such a scenario and the first thought I have is that it will likely be one of those individuals that their whole life is centered around their sexual orientation, which for some reason they need to tell everyone about.

Those types are like vegans who feel they have to tell everyone about their dietary habits, unsolicited. Their whole life circulates around their sexual orientation/dietary habits/drugs.

I don't perceive that people are identifying with the LGBT movement in order to be seen as "cool". Who exactly thinks that someone's sexual orientation can be "cool"? In Portugal this brings more stigma than any form of popularity and I believe it's the same in other countries, no matter how inclusive or open to these issues some countries may be. It's an issue that polarizes public opinion and the topic has been so worn down (not to say gotten out of hand) that I think we're going through a turning point, in which this type of LGBT movements are progressively and increasingly being seen in a negative light. If you live in a pink bubble like rajputprincess, surrounded by people who are unconventional, quasi belonging to a sub-culture, then you might be seen as "cool" for identifying with one of the 72 made up genders or coming out as gay but, outside the bubble, you will have a reality check.

I also don't agree with the idea that all men like the concept of seeing two women together because I am a man and it doesn't thrill me personally. I wouldn't be turned on by a woman telling me she's bisexual, it might even be a red flag, but that's because of my "boring" way of being in life and perhaps because I personally always leaned towards the conventional over the deviant. I would also add that there's no reason for anyone to tell me they're bisexual or lesbian either, because as far as I can remember I've never seen myself in any real life scenario where I'd ask a woman what her sexual orientation is, and so if she were to tell me it would be unsolicited, which is strange in itself. I try to imagine myself in such a scenario and the first thought I have is that it will likely be one of those individuals that their whole life is centered around their sexual orientation, which for some reason they need to tell everyone about.

People do crimes to be cool

Seriously commit crimes because want to be seen as cool thug.

I never understood this behavior and I probaby will never will. Let's just switch It around.

Will you get turn on by seeing two guys who seem very attractive to you If they started kissing passionately?

just curious though.

Yes. I'm weird that way.

Now he is one of the most popular hip hop artist
