41 Things Only Gay Men Can Understand

I’m sure we all know at least one gay man. If you say you don’t, he probably just hasn’t told you yet. Gay men are constantly asked the same questions over and over again. It gets really annoying, if I do say so myself. There are also numerous stereotypes in society that need to be stomped out. I’m going to let you inside the mind of gay men everywhere:

  1. We don’t want to have a threesome with you and your boyfriend. 
  2. Yes, you’re a guy but that doesn’t mean we think you’re cute. Get over yourself. 
  3. We don’t know your other gay friend. 
  4. There is NOT a secret gay club where we initiate every gay person that decides to come out. 
  5. There is no such thing as the gay agenda. 
  6. Only our close friends can refer to us as girl.
  7. The word faggot is offensive, no matter how you use it. 
  8. You can’t “catch” the gay.
  9. We are not all sluts. 
  10. We are not all fashion gurus. 
  11. We don’t all think shopping is fun. 
  12. Beyonce is God. Don’t deny it.
  13. We made being different cool before it was a thing. 
  14. We both wear the pants in the relationship.
  15. Some of us actually like sports. (Go Mountaineers!)
  16. We want a family. 
  17. No, we don’t want to date your other gay friend. 
  18. Please don’t set us up. 
  19. We are not going through a phase. 
  20. Shout out to all of the LGBT supporters! 
  21. Especially the parents that accept their kids for who they are. 
  22. No, all the cute ones are not gay. You are just looking in the wrong places. 
  23. Stop using me as your fake boyfriend.
  24. We did not choose to be gay. 
  25. But we sure as hell know how to embrace it. 
  26. We are not trying to disrupt your life. 
  27. We come in all shapes and sizes. 
  28. Stop saying we remind you of your other gay friend. 
  29. Yes, we love the same as everyone else. 
  30. We are not going to tell you who’s the pitcher and who’s the catcher. Don’t ask. That’s rude. 
  31. Yes, We are going to keep talking about gay rights because the fight is not over. 
  32. We need more LGBT character on T.V.
  33. Yes, we can ruin your face but we choose not to. 
  34. We don’t wear our clothes for attention, we wear them because we like them. 
  35. We can do anything you can do. 
  36. Saying “that’s gay” is offensive. Come up with something else. 
  37. We make jokes, we are not ones. 
  38. Gaydar does not exist. 
  39. Just google it. 
  40. We have insecurities, but we are better at hiding them. 
  41. We all want to be accepted.  

Now take a minute to let those facts marinate. Soak it all in. We would gladly appreciate it.
