I think something is wrong with me whenever a "friendly" straight guy talks to me I act super distant and unfriendly so I come off as a stuck up. But really I don't really think that, course... duh I want more friends, no need to go around acting mean to straight guys. Here are some reasons I believe why I act this way: *don't want them to find out too much about me incase they are homophobic *have a crush on them but dont want them to know or get any ideas do any of you guys act this way? This is pretty much why I have like less than 5 close straight friends.
No Proof: Let's prove you don't unconciously hate straight guys We prove by contradiction. To say you unconciously hate straight guys mean you're hating straight guys while you're dead. Obviously you're living. This leads to a contradiction so you do not unconciously hate straight guys. OMG what has this semester done to me... On a serious note, despite what you think, you need to put yourself out there. Thinking something that may not be true can lead to fear and anxiety and you would hate that.
Would your proof change if the OP's word choice was "subconsciously"? I think that's really the intended meaning. But no, I don't act like this. Straight people generally assume that others are straight. And if you're only questioning, chances are you aren't fabulous anyway. Besides, staying a mile back in the closet like that means you'll lose out on friends, just like you said. And that's not good.
I used to act this way, but it's a good idea to give people the benefit of the doubt these days, while also keeping in mind you don't want to get *too* close before telling them. That way if they do react badly, you can shrug it off and move on.
I'd say that I don't care for any straight people with condescending attitudes toward sexual minorities, so I don't see a problem. Most people who are discriminated against dislike those who perpetrate the discrimination. It's basic human nature.
I don't like domineering and phony straight guys (friends). I dislike it when straight friends are dominating and pushy about stuff in life. It also vexes me when some straight guys are faking, just to impress others and to be able to feel included and not excluded in conversations.
