incase you think that racism is just a black and white issue

I have always loved that Takei advocates for his intersectional needs and identity as a queer person and a Japanese person

Hnghhhhh

Being a gay man makes you an oppressor?? Well fuck me?! Looks like George Takei and Elton are actually evil!!

Because Gay Men would totally have an interest in women!

Feminists being homophobic? You don’t say!

Actually this IS an issue. There are gay men who think that just by being gay they have a free pass to touch women wherever it however they want.

My fiancé once put a dude through a window because he was groping girls and when they would complain he would make the excuse that he was gay so they shouldn’t be uncomfortable.

Gay men do this a lot and it IS. NOT. OK.

Gay men are literally some of the most misogynist people I know. There is absolutely nothing “homophobic” about calling this shit out. (But what else do you expect from an anti-SJ blog?)

When I was in high school an older gay male student who was a member of an extracurricular threatre troupe I was part of cornered me in an empty classroom and grinded up on me, rubbing his erect penis against my thigh through his pants, and refused to let me up when I asked him to until someone else came in the room and made him let me go. When I accused him of sexual harrassment he claimed it was physically impossible for him to harrass me that way because he was gay (everyone must have believed him too, because he never got in trouble).

In college there was a trend amongst the gay males in our LGBTQ+ club space to approach the female identified folk while they were least expecting it and pinch their nipples hard through their t-shirts. This was done to me on several occasions by several different gay men and was terribly startling and incredibly painful each time. They would not stop when asked to claiming it was not sexual harrassment because they were not attracted to the women they were obviously harrassing, it was all just teasing, just a bit of good clean fun. During the two years I spent in and out of that club space I also had my breasts and ass groped on a regular basis, something that was completely normalized in that space, and had a gay man try and swipe my genitals through my jeans against my will once.

So, gay men can most definitely be oppressors. Gay men can most definitely be misogynistic. Gay men can be just as dangerous to women as straight men are, and there is absolutely nothing homophobic about calling that shit the fuck out when it happens and letting them know in no uncertain terms that being gay does not give a man carte blanche to touch a woman’s body however he wants.

#gay men: the original men lite (tm)#where do u think trans men learned it from (x)

There’s a cis gay student at my school who always makes lewd comments to all the girls around him or will stroke their arm and when they say they’re uncomfortable he’ll cite that they should be because he’s gay.

I have also had my ass grabbed by him and by another cis gay male student on multiple occasions and when I tell them not to he says I shouldn’t be mad because he’s gay.

Gay men think they can do this: 
 

And then immediately follow it up with “it’s okay though because I’m gay” 

No. It’s not. It’s NOT okay because they’re gay. Your sexuality doesn’t give you a free pass to be a raging misogynist. 

Gay men think they can get away with misogyny because they’re not attracted to women. That’s not how it works. 

Also, friendly reminder that gay men also consistently get away with transphobia, biphobia, and racism (gee, I wonder which group of white people steals AAVE the MOST? I’ll give you a hint, it’s the gay men community.) 

Gay men may not have straight privilege, but guess what they do have?? GASP—MALE PRIVILEGE. Fucking duh. They have just as much capability to be sexist as straight men, and we shouldn’t overlook it just because they’re gay. (or bi or pan, for that matter)

I can’t even understand how being gay makes shit like this okay in anybody’s mind
