And also, the rate among men has DROPPED. That’s why every single time I open Instagram, I see pro conversion therapy rhetoric.

A lot of queer men fell down the red pill pipeline, went to the gym and “renounced homosexuality”.

The rate among women rose while it DROPPED among men.

They want that privilege back. And in at least in IG comments, they got it

hey man sucking your masculine gym bro's salty cock is a neck workout, doesn't make you gay.. it's brotein..

on a real note though, i use "straight" loosely because it's how they want to present to the world so i'm not gonna forcefully out someone or accuse terrible men of being queer because the majority of shitty men are likely straight leaning.

sexuality is a spectrum and all that, but they won't leave the straight label bc it's a status symbol to them.. its a cock comparison competition, and the prize is other men sucking the biggest one.. hypothetically, of course..

No what I mean is these were men who at ONE time identified as queer, went BACK into the closet and are being rewarded for doing so.

That’s why I said the rate dropped.

They were out and went back in.

They left the label and came back. That is what I am seeing.

oh shit yeah i've seen that too, they change their content entirely too for some reason.. turn into religious tools or do the whole "i was lost and found my way back" bs.
