"gay" is not a personality

I tend to agree, but it isn't limited to being gay, it's really multiple things. Some people become so wrapped up in one trait they have that they make it their whole identity, and I don't think that's healthy. There is more about people than just one thing.

I know people like this when it comes to being a gamer, being a parent, certain hobbies they have, etc. Also with their sexuality.

I agree and this extends to the whole LGBTQ+ stuff in general. It's like hey, buddy, if you're so bare minimum that you need to feel special by placing your identity into what you are rather than what you accomplish then maybe, just maybe, you aren't that special.

As for two men on TV, I know what you mean and I entirely blame Tumblr. I swear it seems like two male characters can't just love one another without certain groups thinking they wanna trade dicks. Like no, two attractive men loving one another and caring for one another doesn't give them "the big gey", stfu. I'm looking at you, Supernatural.

You right, but I think everyone does this, it’s just more noticeable when it’s gay. Plenty of straight people’s whole personality is “I have sex” / “I watch porn” (There are guys obsessed with female porn stars for example). They try to turn everything into sex jokes even if it’s just a cute / wholesome moment, and if they see a even slightly attractive woman doing anything they will start babbling about “muh penis”.

Don’t know, maybe it prevents them from having to develop one or something.

Netflix has massively encouraged this problem.

It never was to begin with.

Yeah I can see your point and it's not homophobic. I haven't noticed too much of it but maybe that's just cos I haven't been to the same places as you. I might find it a bit irritating too though to be around someone for too long if they're always talking about the same stuff that I'm not interested in, but otherwise I'm happy for them if it makes them happy and if they talk about it with other like-minded people.

I have noticed comedians before where one of the very first things they'll bring up is that they're gay and where all they'll talk about is things to do with being gay. I don't care that they're gay but it just gets old.

And it is weird alright how people will ship characters who have barely interacted at all and interpret anything as evidence for them being gay. But I find that more funny than irritating really.

It's almost like some people think that gay is an charicter trait from a cartoon or something. To be interesting is what you do rather than the small little boxes you can associate yourself with.

Gay is not a personality, but the stereotypes we attribute to gay people probably make up this “personality” you are against.

Okay, yes you have a piont of people making that their personality but shippers are a different story entirely So do not get it confused. Shippers often have an addiction to romance for some reason or another. I think mainly unfulfilled sex drive. Shipping has nothing to do with gay either, as some people are addicted to shipping in general.

I'm gonna be honest as a bisexual person I agree. I don't think me being bi is such an important feat that everyone should know, and often times people forget about it because I never bring it up unless it's relevant. Gay is not a personality its a sexuality, and I don't understand how someone can make their personality off of something so frail as whether they like cock or vagina (or both or neither).

But this isn't just gay people. Theres straight people, as you said, who make their religion define their lives. Theres vegans out there that it seems the only thing they do is vegan activism. Theres Kpop fans who find that their entire world revolves around a semi feminine Korean dudes. Sometimes when I see people like that I wonder if theres an actual human behind all that, or if thats really all that is to them. But its important to note theres crazy in every group, its not exclusive just to one or the other.

confirmed op is gay for jesus

One's personality is what one makes it. If one chooses to make one's personality the way you describe, then that is one's personality.

Totally agree. I hate the whole Pride thing with all their marches and stuff telling the world they are gay. Why can’t they just get on with their lives without announcing their sexuality to the world. The only people that actually care if someone else is gay, are the homophobic idiots, and that’s because they want to react in some negative manner to the fact that someone else doesn’t share their sexuality.

You don’t see straight people going round shouting out to the world ‘Oh look at me I’m straight, I’m a woman but I only fancy men’. I really don’t care what other people get up to or who they sleep with. I do object though to people ramming it down everybody else’s throats.
