gay

It's very exciting that society has seemingly finally reached a point where most empathetic people do not use 'That's so gay' as an insult. Meaning, homosexuality is more normalized today than it was when millennials were growing up. But, that being said, there were so many things that people deemed not fit for straight men, and those comments definitely linger in your mind, even if you know it was a ridiculous statement.

On Reddit, straight men are revealing the ridiculous things they were cautioned not to do because such things were 'too gay.'

As a woman, there are a lot of things I don't understand about straight men. But I suppose that is to be expected considering I have never existed on this earth as a man. What is funny, however, is that gay men apparently are also confused by the things that straight men say and do. This is probably because society has placed a lot more weight on one's sexual preference than is really necessary. Gay men, in terms of self-expression, have a lot more freedom. While straight men have very rigid expectations. A straight man is expected to be attracted to women, but that's not enough. He needs to be super manly, and love trucks and war, but also hate his wife? There seems to be a lot to unpack here.

Let's start with this Reddit thread.

Didn't know that so many Tweets about being bisexual could lowkey be so relatable. I do also usually get more nervous introducing myself to a cool and stylish girl than a regular hot guy. These Twitter users really love to laugh at themselves and I'm always here for that. I love how we can fight and fight to get our rights and to get rid of stigmas, but then find ourselves completely falling into them. Oops, sometimes you can help but be who you are.

So here's something you won't be able to unsee once we point it out to you - someone has discovered that fighter standoff pictures actually look like gay weddings. Yep, the guys who act all tough, actually look like they're deeply in love. Maybe it's the intense way they stare into each other's eyes, or maybe it's the way the referees look like officiators. Either way, we're loving these pictures, which show a whole new side to these big ol' fighters. 

The children's show kicked off its 22nd season on May 13 with an episode which revealed that Arthur's teacher, Mr Ratburn, is gay. Most people on twitter liked it. 

These signs are so clever!
