        And they rightly fucking deserve it.

        If you house the fascists and bigots, you become a house of fascists and bigots. It doesn’t matter what the individual believes if they continue to give audience to those people. They become indistinguishable from them.

            Normal straight dude here. I’ve been hit on by a gay guy before. I explained the situation like an adult. All was good, no willies of any kind were had.

              No “hey let’s split rent and I’ll get you all these free drugs” before eventually they come out with their expectations? Congrats. You don’t wanna be there. You especially don’t wanna share a jail cell with a dude who got himself moved in because you helped him with a phone call once and eventually he scratches the hell out of your glasses while you’re in the shower because you turned him down.

              Sorry for the run on sentences. I’m typing in the bathroom at work.

                You bartered for drugs and were then surprised that this individual wasn’t completely honest?

                    It’s the “drugs” part, dude.

                    Look, I smoke weed in an illegal state. I don’t invite my plugs to my house, and I sure as hell don’t agree to split rent with them.

                    It means your whining about some gay guys acting inappropriately towards you

                    1. doesn’t somehow justify saying absolutely vile homophobic shit like “normal straight people get the willies when gay guys hit on them”,

                    2. does not somehow justify homophobia in general nor its conservative apologists and therefore

                    3. is incredibly tone deaf in this precise context.

            First of all, I’m gonna call bullshit on people hitting on you. Hateful attitudes aren’t attractive.

            Second of all, if a gay person hits on me, I’d be surprised and flattered, and politely turn them down.

            Third (and more comedically), as a straight man, I would try NOT to get the willies, because I am not attracted to willies.

                Not sure what I presumed. I called your statement bullshit, but also justified my point of view. Meanwhile, you presumed that being creeped out by someone thinking you’re attractive is normal.

                Something tells me the wall would be a more productive conversation than you.

                  You know how there’s some women who won’t have anything to do with men because they’ve had a traumatic experience? Well that shit happens to men too, and going after them like they’re evil filth is no fucking good for anyone. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. I won’t have shit to do with Gary people because the fact of the matter is that 80% of them I’ve known haven’t approached me to “just hit on me”. They’ve tried embedding themselves in my life first so that rejection comes with repercussions financially or socially. I won’t let them near me anymore and people like you wanna go around thinking gayness makes people saints.

                    Sorry, did you mean to reply to me? Because nothing you wrote had anything to do with what I said. I never went after anyone, and I never said anyone was good or bad. Morality and sexuality are entirely unrelated. All I did is doubt how popular you claim to be, given your attitude. Not sure why that’s causing so much hostility.

                I have a theory that the reason you “can’t tell” how often it happens is because it isn’t happening at all. It’s clear you’re just a troll looking for attention. I hope you are able to find some happiness in life so you can stop being so obsessed.

            I’m a fellow straight person who has had a gay person hit on me. Here’s the thing: the problem wasn’t his gayness. The problem was his persistence. If he had hit on me respectfully, and backed off when I showed disinterest, everything would have been fine.

            His persistence wasn’t due to his gayness. There are gay people who are not persistent.

            A lot of straight people are persistent too, and it’s just as much of a problem in straight people as it is in gay people, it just doesn’t bother you specifically, because you’re straight.

        Tolerating the intolerant is what you are asking for. It’s the same story with someone saying you should tolerate someone burning books. Them not tolerating peoples thoughts or beliefs and then being upset people call them terrible people for burning books.

        That’s just stupidity

        Tolerate people and then you deserve to be tolerated.
