Why is it so much easier to be obviously gay to gays than to the straights :neocat_floof_sad:

@blitter Same reason a mouse can only be themselves when not in the presence of cats.

@LouisIngenthron I don't think I'm the mouse in this scenario lol
Like who is afraid of whom? Me of straight ppl? Only when they are armed

@blitter I can only speak for myself, but when I find myself heteronormalizing around straight people, it's usually to avoid becoming further marginalized.

I think we do it as a defense mechanism. The gayer we seem, the more likely they are to try to take away our rights.
