The loudest people criticizing queer people are always the ones who seem totally unsure of their own supposed straightness, or maybe the ones who consume the lesbian/gay porn. Seems like proving you arent gay requires screaming really loud.

(This is not about anything in this thread that I’ve read specifically, just something I’ve experienced myself)
It’s also really annoying when you point this out and someone comes to champion the good name of all the other queer folk, as if you meant to imply that a person’s queerness, rather than their internal powerstruggle to remain closeted, was the reason for whatever slight they’re performing against the community.
It’s like, no, did you even read what was written? It’s such a weak argument and thought-terminating cliche, and it denies that part of the human condition is that one can try to suppress a part of themselves so ferociously that they externalize it onto everyone else.

The lyrics are so much better in Russian. They are very tender and heartfelt and really do a good job showcasing what it’s like being a gay teenager in love.

It is also more pleasant hearing them smoothly singing in their native language versus dealing with English.

Nah, you don’t understand!
It’s gays everyone’s so concerned about. Lesbians were always the exception, for obvious reasons (fulfilling predominantly male fantasies of two sexy girls playing with each other, while not being off-putting to most women)

The men that have “concern” for the sexuality of others, for the most part, already don’t think women should have that choice to begin with, and are therefore unconcerned about Lesbians. (No need for prosecution or persecution, when you already think of them as objects)

I always thought that was such a boneheaded take for a straight man. You want to encourage the mangays and discourage the ladygays. Let the men knock eachother out of the dating pool and let simple supply and demand increase your value without you having to do a single sit-up.

The loudest anti gay people seems to be gay people with severe issues with their own sexuality

I knew a lesbian who lived in Russia during my BBS days. I think about her sometimes wondering either how she’s coping there or where she eventually moved to

The Bolshevik decriminalised homosexuality, and then Stalin came along and fucked it all up.

stalin fucks everything up (lenin was that good either tho, way better than stalin tbh, tho in our hearts the Spartacus League succeeded and couped stalin)

Allegedly this is somewhat of a misnomer. Not writing it into the first version of a penal code doesn’t mean acceptance

Not just the queers, but also Putin and his Black Hundreds decided a rock band is also classed as a “terrorist” group.

One actually supports the LGBTQ community, the other one is homophobic as fuck and member of Putin’s party. None is lesbian though, and just used the male fantasy to sell more albums.

weren’t they like forced into it?

I mean, they were 14 when the band was created by a Russian producer who had a fetish for lesbian schoolgirls so no, they did not have a lot of choice.
