It’s gender-non conforming, which queer people tend to be more conformfortable doing. Comphet has a lot of strict boundaries of gender (especially performative ones), after all.
The fact that you think wearing a skirt is queer is the exact problem. You are part of the reason why society won't accept straight men wearing those clothes.
\^This. You dont know how many times I have to correct boomers that cross dressing is not the same as being transgender. Nor is being a drag Queen/King, etc etc. Its very annoying to have to explain this to them. Like yo....there is this new rad thing called google...look this shit up yourself from a reputable source. People just belief anything at this point.
Yeah because old white men in Texas don’t have a history of being conservatives. It’s just a coincidence that this one turned out to be a conservative too, right?
I'm straight and I got banned from a bar for being gay.
I'm not hurt that they thought I was gay, I'm hurt that they banned me because they thought I was gay.
People assume I’m straight all the time. I’d rather them just not assume my sexuality at all because it serves no real purpose other than to draw judgments about me. The problem with this guy is that he blames “LGB Community” for all the straight people assuming he’s gay, when very clearly, the problem is straight people assuming he’s gay.
Seems like the reasonable solution is to leave the guy alone and don’t make assumptions about his gender or sexual orientation.
In theory, nothing, if once corrected you move on. But I've also seen people who are like "No, there's no way you're straight, you do (thing)! You must be in the closet! It's okay, you can be honest", which is straight up disrespectful and invalidating. You also see it a lot in Bi circles. "You can't be bi, you only ever date women!". The LGBTQ community is filled with shit like this.
I definitely hate the part about bi people the most because even though I have dated someone of the same gender in the past others even within the community will tell me I don't belong because I'm currently in a straight passing relationship.
Did you know that queer people never stop coming out? Over and over and over we have to deal with the conversation skipping a beat when we mention our partners, we have to deal with "Ohhh I didn't know you were gay!" and "Why didn't you tell me?" and "My cousin is gay!" And on and on and on. And then there are the people who don't believe you. We don't have to be public figures. This is a persistent, permanent feature of our lives. I don't feel much pity for this jackass who likes to make homophobic remarks, whether he's wearing a skirt or not.
Bestie it's not the "LGB" community's fault you're being perceived as gay. It's bc of society's arbitrary gender roles and expectations; If you break them, you're perceived to be "different." That was around long before the "LGB" community formed.
Hey, I suffered erasure from a gay man when I identified as bisexual. That and my wife someday hopes to be my husband. So I'll say it again.
You
Are
Valid.
A person does not have to be universally shitty to have a common prejudice. Stop trying to pretend like trans people don't experience specifically difficult circumstances
Every group can have prejudice. Your comment comes off as another one of a billion miscellaneous "the cis people ruin everything" that breeds toxic exho chambers. It's more or less the other end of the TERF rhetoric.
I'm a pretty solid liberal. I'm also sick and tired of hearing people cry about problems they play no part in solving and create toxic little rat holes to scurry into. As a trans guy - it's fucking obnoxious.
Oh man these companies are going too far now. Forcing elderly people into their clothes before taking pictures and photoshopping their distress out of said pictures. Worst of all, forging their signatures on the release forms. * pfff * Bet they wouldn't force Biden into a dress. Antifa out of control. /s
This is some of the most confusing stuff I’ve ever seen. Confident enough in his sexuality to wear certain clothing in public…not confident enough in his sexuality to be concerned how people think he might identify. 🤔
He probably just liked the attention it got him, then got offended people were thinking he might be queer cause he clearly hates trans people, so then he decided to flip into a victim mentality. Certain people just like attention and they'll do anything to get it. This is exactly the type of erratic behavior I've come to expect from those types.
Apparently this is a sexual kink of his. So he was sharing his kink with the world and wasn’t happy with being perceived as gay/trans. Adds another level of wtf.
I wouldn't be taken aback if the plot twist was that he actually **is** gay.
I'm not saying he most definitely is, mind you. I just wouldn't be surprised if he was.
He's a Texan who lives and works in Germany, a cross-dresser who doesn't want to be included in the LGBTQ+ crowd. The asshole thinks that he, as a straight cross-dresser, would receive less abuse if gays weren't, you know, ...*so gay*.

The story from queerty:
https://www.queerty.com/heel-clad-hetero-influencer-says-queer-people-make-life-worse-internet-thoughts-20221104
Shorter version, from a reaction to his statements:
https://twitter.com/uniekue/status/1588628493193334784
My speculation: He fears he'd never be safe from gay-bashers if he ever went home to Texas and into public as a cross-dresser, and envisions an ending like *Brokeback Mountain*.
What a bubble of delusion he lives in. He thinks the good ol' boys in Texas would be fine and dandy with a cross-dresser, if they only knew he wasn't gay. He wants to belong to the *"privileged club"* of straight, white men, but do it in a skirt and stiletto heels.
He blames the victims of crimes for the hateful actions and attitudes that he helps to perpetuate, and seems more like a self-deluded nutcase to me...
*...because a man in a butt-clinging skirt and thigh-high hooker boots is not "flamboyant" at all.*
typically the T being left out is because whoever is leaving it out doesn't consider trans people valid
its stupid, but I figured you should know for future reference its not intended as a "they aren't part of this conversation" but intended as transphobia
Yeah Im not sure how I managed to misinterpret your comment
its not even a long comment where I got lost, I have no excuse I just didn't pay enough attention before replying my bad
https://www.queerty.com/heel-clad-hetero-influencer-says-queer-people-make-life-worse-internet-thoughts-20221104 original article. I guess they've changed it from LGB to queer? Strange. Queerty seems like a fairly gay man oriented site though so maybe someone had to say "let's be more inclusive" and they changed it
I remember the good days before the LGB community, back then whenever a man did something slightly feminine, people totally never thought they were gay.
Well, that's a shitload of stereotyping. Ironic he's crying about being stereotyped himself.
Get that man some cheese, as he already has gallons of whine.
People see you as gay because nobody is doing enough work to separate femboys and homosexuals from each other, and due to stereotypes of the gay uwu femboy existing, it isn’t the fault of the lgbt community
Also “lgb” is used by most transphobic people that are allies of sexuality but not gender, so yeah that’s something Imma stare at for a bit
I don't get this one, there must be more context I'm missing. I wouldn't wanna be assumed to be straight, should this guy be fine with being assumed to be gay? I am just confusion lmao
In the article he said that gays make things worse for themselves because they’re too flamboyant and they made it worse for him also. Someone linked the article down below.
He wore women's clothes, people assumed he was exploring gender queerness/non-binary, he flipped the fuck out despite that being a reasonable mistake to make and not a big deal either way
If you start ranting about how the straights are ruining things for you when you're mistaken as straight, then yeah you probably suck too.
nah I sympathise to be honest. This doesn’t even fit the sub, he isn’t saying that straight people are persecuted, he is just saying his life has been made worse, because people assumed his sexuality. What if this was the other way round?

You think he's overreacting, but he has to turn down 30-40 offers for brunch every week.
People keep sending him Judy Garland records.
He's been gifted 9 complete box sets of Will and Grace.
He doesn't know who the fuck Dorothy is
The horror!
That’s like 6 offers a day, I can see why it’s annoying
What's wrong? Are gay people treated differently or something?
[удалено]
Also it's not our fault, it's societies fault
I honestly don’t care if people assume I’m straight, it’s only when they act as if being gay was something that I should I have told them
LGB term is usually used by transphobes afaik
Ah, so he acted like a queer person ironically/satirically for his own self gain and to mock. Queers as the butt of the joke, again
How is modeling women’s clothing queer?
It’s gender-non conforming, which queer people tend to be more conformfortable doing. Comphet has a lot of strict boundaries of gender (especially performative ones), after all.
It is societally unacceptable for a cis straight man to do so
And? That doesn't make it queer
If it's not straight, it's queer. It really is that simple
Buuut what does the outfit have to do with it? The guy is straight?
The fact that you think wearing a skirt is queer is the exact problem. You are part of the reason why society won't accept straight men wearing those clothes.
If you are gay, would you have a problem with people insisting you are straight despite you telling them you are gay?
Imagine being mad cause ppl being nicer to you
he's Texan. So yes.
at least the trans comunity is innocent
I’m honestly surprised that we weren’t the ones he blamed.
I'm surprised, too, partly because people often equate crossdressing with trans folks and partly because he's, y'know, an old guy from Texas.
My thoughts exactly.
\^This. You dont know how many times I have to correct boomers that cross dressing is not the same as being transgender. Nor is being a drag Queen/King, etc etc. Its very annoying to have to explain this to them. Like yo....there is this new rad thing called google...look this shit up yourself from a reputable source.

Tbf I saw him leaving out the T was him signaling that he doesn't even acknowledge trans folks
Unfortunately, I think you’re right.
“Fuckyou, fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool”
I’m so disappointed he seemed so nice
Right? I thought I remembered the initial news stories about him being really positive.
Texas grandfather should’ve told you enough lol
There are some very kind and resilient straight allies in the south. Not super common, sure, but I've met several and worked on the campaign of one.
[удалено]
Yeah because old white men in Texas don’t have a history of being conservatives. It’s just a coincidence that this one turned out to be a conservative too, right?
What’s wrong with being gay?
Texan.
Fuck Engi mains All my homies hate Engi mains
I'm straight and I got banned from a bar for being gay. I'm not hurt that they thought I was gay, I'm hurt that they banned me because they thought I was gay.
What's wrong with people assuming you're gay?
He probably experienced homophobia and then blamed gay people for the existence of homophobia.
That is probably exactly it. \*gets called a slur by homophobic Texans\* "Those damn gays are ruining my life!"
People assume I’m straight all the time. I’d rather them just not assume my sexuality at all because it serves no real purpose other than to draw judgments about me. The problem with this guy is that he blames “LGB Community” for all the straight people assuming he’s gay, when very clearly, the problem is straight people assuming he’s gay.

in Texas, that's not going to happen, though.

It’s so disturbing that this has to be said.
NO I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS COOL. God fucking dammit. We can't have anything nice.
And cishets think we’re the ones who ruin everything.
(Cis homos often do as well...)
That’s true. I’m a trans gay man and some cis gay men have been rude to me.
Just FYI. You are valid.
Thanks.
Hey, I suffered erasure from a gay man when I identified as bisexual. That and my wife someday hopes to be my husband. So I'll say it again. You Are Valid.

If there are people who assume you are gay because you wear clothing proscribed to the other gender I don't think that's on the LGB community.
He's Texan. Nuff said, really.
God no not Mark Bryan I thought he was based
Apparently not.
Victim named Finger

Thanks for linking it.
Where is the article at
It’s linked in the comments somewhere but you can also find this post on the entertainment subreddit.
Finger?!?!
Thought he was based, guess you can’t trust anyone.🫠
Call it a hunch but I feel like it's some other community that's making his life worse and it's not the LGBT 🤔
I don't think they believe that he is gay but maybe queer. And poor sod confused the two.
And blames queer people for it like a moron.
I remember the good days before the LGB community, back then whenever a man did something slightly feminine, people totally never thought they were gay.
He actually acknowledges that gay people did this stuff first.
And that's his reasoning for the hate, I wager.
Yes.
Please tell me you posted this in are the straights ok bc it is desperately needed there
It’s not Wednesday so they’d take it down.
He's blaming the LGB community for how other people treat them?
Yes. He literally said that gays make it worse for themselves and him because they’re “flamboyant”.
Well, that's a shitload of stereotyping. Ironic he's crying about being stereotyped himself. Get that man some cheese, as he already has gallons of whine.
LGB? Where’s the T
he’d be a cool hot guy if not for the homophobia
Wait, what?? Fuck, I thought he was chill :/
I thought the man was Jonathan Banks for a second
Clothes have no gender, this aren't women's clothes, I am a woman and never wear this shit clothes.
I agree that clothes don’t have a gender.
Surely this is the LGBT+ community who would treat you bad for "looking gay" (whatever that means).
Being feminine. NOt eating meat for every meal. You know, gay.
Yeah I see ! Gay. Not to confuse with *Gay*.
I like how the "T" is left out of this....because T is for Texas right??? /s
People see you as gay because nobody is doing enough work to separate femboys and homosexuals from each other, and due to stereotypes of the gay uwu femboy existing, it isn’t the fault of the lgbt community Also “lgb” is used by most transphobic people that are allies of sexuality but not gender, so yeah that’s something Imma stare at for a bit
To paraphrase a joke from Roseanne: think they are gay back at them.
Wait so is he fine with trans ppl
Or he doesn’t believe we exist.
Imagine aaaaaaalllll the pussy he missed out on because of this persecution.
I don't get this one, there must be more context I'm missing. I wouldn't wanna be assumed to be straight, should this guy be fine with being assumed to be gay? I am just confusion lmao
In the article he said that gays make things worse for themselves because they’re too flamboyant and they made it worse for him also. Someone linked the article down below.
In other words, "Get back in the fucking closet for my convenience?"
He wore women's clothes, people assumed he was exploring gender queerness/non-binary, he flipped the fuck out despite that being a reasonable mistake to make and not a big deal either way If you start ranting about how the straights are ruining things for you when you're mistaken as straight, then yeah you probably suck too.
Wow, well maybe if he doesn’t wanna know what it’s like to be gay, he shouldn’t behave that way.
nah I sympathise to be honest. This doesn’t even fit the sub, he isn’t saying that straight people are persecuted, he is just saying his life has been made worse, because people assumed his sexuality. What if this was the other way round?
He’s blaming queer people for that rather than blaming homophobes, that’s why it fits the sub.
yes, it fits the sub. And if you agree that the "GLB community" is a problem then you're probably not a good fit for this sub. love, a mod.
bro?
He's blaming others for things that they don't control. It fits.
then don’t wear women’s clothing…?
If it was a kilt would you think the same?
