I am pretty close to unsubbing from all the "Gay" subreddits. Which is kinda sad, but I have never met a group of people more intolerant and hateful. And I get it that people in reality are not that bad, but it's still startling and saddening.

Couldn't agree with you more. In fact, SO and I have abandoned the whole gay community in real life too. We live in Southern California, and have not been out to West Hollywood or any other gay bar/club in several years. We're both way more comfortable with our straight friends; They are far less judgemental, catty, and intolerant than "our own people."

Eh. have you ever tried being a conservative or libertarian gay? They will crucify you. In my experience, gays are the ones that confuse politics with people, and even sexual attraction.

I have lost more gay 'friends' because of my political beliefs that for any other reason. To not blindly support the Democratic Party is heresy, grounds for excommunication from the community. To not adore Obama is nearly a capital offense. Just trying to explain how the Libertarian Party cares more about [any issue] evokes an almost visceral response. Dissent shall not be tollerated.

I have had so many gay people tell me that I really am not bi, I am gay. And that being bi is lying to myself and hurting the community.

In many people's minds in the LGBT community, there is only gay vs straight. Anyone in between is just transitioning to being gay.

This is actually something that hits too close to home. Especially when you know people very close to you hold that opinion and you don't tell them/anyone so there won't be any problems. It feels like being back in the closet in high school again.
