You're not gay, you're straight. Refusing to have sex with Tinder strangers doesn't make you gay. You can be a straight ally of the lgbt community but you yourself are not lgbt.

Yes and no. I’m not gay but I am Demi that’s what the + is for in LGBTQ+ is for.

You're saying the + includes straight people? Straight people are allowed to have straight pride? I thought that was forbidden and considered homophobic. Because straight people are considered 'privileged' and not deserving of a pride month unlike marginalized and underprivileged lgbt people.

Okay now you’re just being disingenuous.

You know damn well the point of pride is to help celebrate and give support those who arnt hetero normative because we’ve never had an age in America where straight people were beaten to death for being straight.

Meanwhile gay people were gassed in the gas chambers of German camps, trans people are still being murdered regularly.

And even now to this day we have states passing unconstitutional laws to prevent people from even mentioning if they are gay/trans much less getting treatments for their health despite it goin against their rights to “life liberty and pursuit of happiness.”

There are no state laws banning mentioning you are straight in school/public spaces.

So you're admitting that you yourself as a straight person shouldn't be included to celebrate pride for yourself.

Some people will say anything to fit in and be accepted by peers.

It is all attention seeking behavior.

Ignore them.

That is all any of their opinions are worth.

So sayeth the person who quoteth PEDOFILE DEFENDERS.

Because they agree with their anti trans beliefs and were too lazy to actually read what they were citing but blindly copy and pasted their opinion…and 2 others that disagreed with your own opinion.

After all that you’ve got a lot of gall for saying someone else shouldn’t have credibility.

Sigh…ive said no such thing and I’ve told you multiple times I don’t identify as straight. (Cis hetero.) I’m Demi.

I love how I only brought it up originally because you said some wrong things about Demi sexuals and not one meme later your trying to weaponize it because I pointed out a hole in your memes logic.

And again no straight pride isn’t a thing because again straight people haven’t been slaughtered for being straight. When I fly a pride flag (if ever) its not a Demi flag but I also personally prefer to let others have the limelight as I’m at least straight passing.

The other reason is straight pride has always been suggested in bad faith just like white pride to spite other people. As the only time I’ve ever seen a straight person shamed is when they are being bigoted to a non straight person and it’s not because they are straight…it’s because they are being jerks.

Like for example (assuming I wasn’t married) if a super model at a bar offered a free pass for anything with no consequences guaranteed for a night I’d turn it down where most wouldn’t. if alien tali zorah from mass effect was a thing I’d be absolutely down to clown because I have an idea of who they are despite not knowing what they look like and that’s what gets me going. The emotional connection.

"I don't identify as straight (cis hetero)" you're saying you "don't identify as cis" does that mean you're transgender? I'm pretty sure you don't identify as trans, you are a man who isn't trans. If you are biologically male and you feel gender identity is male then that makes you cisgender. I seem to recall you are only attracted to women which makes you none other than heterosexual (straight) and making up terms like "demi" doesn't make you anything different than what you should very well know what you are. Just because you "don't identify as straight" doesn't change the fact that you are straight, a cisgender, heterosexual man, you're just denying that the terms do apply what your identity is. You cannot change terminology or deny that such terminology applies to you and make up new terminology just because you like the word better despite what the word you don't like is what applies to you, you're not making sense. You being a straight person who only has sex with women you're in a relationship with doesn't make you lgbtq+ and you shouldn't pretend that you are. Were straight people who only have sex with people they are in relationships with oppressed like gay and transpeople? Did hitler send demisexuals straight people who are only attracted to people they are in relationships with in nazi death camps? Do Republican states make laws against mentioning straight people being in relationships with each other in public schools? No, I seem to recall Republicans are actually for mention of such relationships in public schools, the only relationship they like being mentioned in public schools. You calling yourself "demi" is nothing more than a desperate attempt to be included in the lgbt community when you should very well know as a straight person, you can't. What you're doing is essentially the same thing as trying to celebrate straight pride which the lgbt community really shouldn't be taking kindly to.

That all doesn’t apply if I’ve been attracted to non cis women such as trans women.
As
Again…
For me it’s about an emotional connection.
The fact that nothing came of it because they weren’t interested is coincidence.

And demisexualism is recognized by the community officially and has been around since about 2006.

And I’ve stated before I don’t fly the demi flag I fly the normal pride flag in support but honestly if it’s gonna piss off conservatives that much I mite start flying a Demi one. And I don’t understand how I’m celebrating my self being “straight” under the guise of LGBTQ+ pride if I’m supporting other peoples rights above my own just because I can pass while other can’t even though it’s recognized by pride organizations.
