PSA to straight ppl: if you’re annoyed at how much a gay person talks about how gay they are because ‘it shouldn’t matter’, then sit down, I need to explain a thing to you: it does matter. We’re raised in a culture that teaches us that being gay is a bad thing. That we are disgusting/jokes to be laughed at/wrong, etc etc. This makes it extremely hard for many of us to accept that we’re gay. So if you see a person who is constantly talking about how gay they are, that’s an extremely powerful thing, because it’s a testament to how much they’ve had to overcome to accept and love themselves and the fact that they’re gay. Don’t go saying shit like ‘ummmmm we get that you’re gay, stop talking about it.’ Like, you’re likely saying that to someone who couldn’t talk about it for a large portion of their lives. Stop.
