hot take… “let men show platonic affection towards each other without saying they’re gay” is useless and bad discourse and we should instead focus on gay men not being seen as gross and wrong
the stigma towards men showing affection towards each other…is caused by homophobia
thanks! i forgot it’s impossible to focus on more than one thing at a time
This comes off as really obtuse, because quoted take you’re criticizing doesn’t really imply that being gay is bad; it’s saying it’s wrong to assume and insist on that of male friends who are remotely affectionate with each other (at least when compared to female friendships).
Because, just labelling dudes as “gay” over the smallest things like that… kind of gets in the way of normalizing close friendships like that.
Even more stupid considering that saying mlm are attracted to every guy they interact with is harmful as well.
