aren't you a little tired of being gay sometimes?

Hey woah. Let's not group all straight people together. They certainly don't all share a group mind set on "mocking your sexuality every chance they get". Rejection is something everyone deals with, and if you think a change in orientation would excuse you from hardship and heartbreak, then you're sorely mistaken.

Hatred is woven into the material of mankind, and you're always going to piss someone off by being who you are, especially if you fall into a minority. All the questions in your post were rhetorical, so I'm not going to address them. To the thread title; I'm not tired of being (a tad) gay, I'm tired of dealing with antagonism.

 

It gets difficult when I think about relationships.

Yes, not all straight people are bad - at all - but I think the anger you showed could be coming from the privileges straight people have. Yes, they do face rejection but it is not the kind we typically will face. If we ever do get the courage to ask someone out, we might get a "oh, no, I'm not gay!" - which personally is more embarrassing for everyone involved. The list goes on...

I get tired of that kind of stuff.

 

I feel you edy I'm not tired of being gay but I can't stand how some people treat gays .

 

^^ Yup this

 

Yes, dating (and even flirting) is hard, but I wouldn't change my sexuality for anything. It's part of who I am.

Perhaps it helps to have a "fuck it" attitude in life.

 

hell yea..not only is it hard as fuk to find a girl but alot of guys think id be interested in a fukin threesum..like eww no offense to.guys but.gross..its as if when i say "im lesbian!" it goes over their heads..sumtimes i just say fuk it im bi just to feel alittle normality and avoid stoopid questions..which i shouldnt have to do but whatever..

 

I'm not tired of being gay, I'm just tired of it being "different". Why can't people just accept the lgbt community for who we are?

 

This.

 

I'm tired of living in a heteronormative world, that is all.

 

I'm not tired of being gay, I'm tired of people treating the LGBT community badly. I am also tired of my male friends who all say they are accepting, but hit on me every chance they get. I've had guys try and get physical with me after letting them know that I am gay. I've been asked to have a threesome at least three times. It is very frustrating at times, but I would never change and I also think there are a lot of supportive people out there.. I mean I've came out to some of my friend's families and they have all accepted me.

I guess it helps to remember that it isn't only homophobia/biphobia/transphobia. The LGBT+ community is one of the many minorities that faces discrimination. It isn't just straight people, it is the idea of the 'majority'. The majority can be white people, straight people, the majority of a specific religion etc. It is a widespread issue.

But it really does suck to be on the receiving end of that abuse, and to be part of the minority.

 

This. ^^ It's frustrating to me how homophobic the world can be, and how I can't think of anything to say when my female friends blabber on and on about boys. Being a lesbian makes me even more of an outcast than I imagine I'd be otherwise. But I believe my sexuality gives me an interesting perspective on the world, and it's not something I would want to change. I love being able to feel attraction towards girls, and feeling only platonic feelings for guys ('cause guys make good friends).

 

Yeah, this. I like dating girls and I like the fact that I've found a community in which I belong. I just don't like leaving my little queer bubble and seeing the people who think I'm doing wrong. I'm pretty lucky though, my city's a good place to be queer.

 

No! But I am tired of bigots
