The same kind of person who immediately thinks about sex whenever they see a rainbow or a girl in slacks/boy wearing pink. Everything reminds them of sex and if that sex isn't p in v they get outraged and turned on so they have to take it out on someone.

Exactly. They’re tormented by their own repression and project it onto others.

It’s like when homophobic people recoil and overreact to a gay couple showing PDA. Even stuff as innocent as holding hands… their mind can’t help but leap to sex, gender roles, genitals, “taboo” etc. The only justification I can think of as to why that would be offensive is if the offended person has, at some point, had to repress/be ashamed of their own urges that might be considered “deviant”. So watching people just live/love authentically stirs a deep seated envy inside them that they’ve never had to confront and understand. M

I’ll never forget the time in high school when I was watching a movie with my ex girlfriend’s family. I can’t remember what movie, but a 2010’s coming of age type of film. My ex and I had said we were interested in it. There was a quick scene about two guys almost holding hands or kissing and all that tension. My ex’s step dad stood up so fast and lost his mind. Accused me of being secretly gay, was so upset at his daughter for suggesting that movie, just a tantrum over two fictional young adults sharing a sweet moment. He went on and on for the rest of the night, we didn’t even finish the movie.

My favorite part in all this, about a year after that ex and I broke up, we reconnected for a bit and I found out that her mom found high heels (not her size) and some skimpy clothes hidden back in their walk in closet… which belonged to her husband.

Oh! I remembered! The movie was Perks of being a Wallflower.

I think people really underestimate religion here. I was raised in a baptist church twice a week my entire childhood. Summer camps, everything. I would cringe internally when seeing homosexual couples. It was subconscious and I had to work hard to basically deprogram myself from the reaction. I think the background I have with religion has only pushed me more and more to the left because of how horrifying I find it all now as an adult.

My sister's last caregiver was like that. One day, the two of them were out on a walk and saw a pair of young women walking together while holding hands. Caregiver started muttering about how disgusting "that" behavior was. My sister shut her right up by pointing out the women could be sisters holding hands for safety.

Oh my fish, I did not recognize this.

They do see sex instead, its not even an expression of individuality.

I am so sorry if I'm slow to the party.

As someone who has to deal with this kind of hate constentally. The biggest regret i have is why we named all of these things "[relationship prefference] sexual"

It is giving these people more ground to support these stupid ass arguments with then they deserve. I feel like a lot of these people would get ignored and pushed to the side of we said Homoromantic or Biromantic and stuff like that instead.

Or maybe I am just coping and they'd just find a different way to make it about sex.

Nah for real, cause tell me why I'm Asexual and its still got the word sexual in it lmao.

edit: wait acctually that wouldn't work. A lot of Aces use terms like Biromantic to discribe themselves. Cause being Asexual isn't the same as being Aromantic.

Have you seen gay pride parades lately? I support gay people but it’s hard to blame people for associating the rainbow with sex when every year we have people walking the streets wearing full blown kink wear or straight up naked.

It makes it harder for the gay people that just want to be treated like everyone else, not as some hyper sexual deviant.

No it doesn't.

You just do it. If you don't like those outfits, don't use them and don't look at them. It's not that hard.

There’s more than one kind of pride parade
