Isn't it homophobic to be straight-acting or in the closet?
You're basically making the statement that homosexuality is something that isn't normal and shouldn't be tolerated by society.
What do you think /lgb(mi)/?
Most people who are in the closet aren't there because they think homosexuality is something bad. They are usually there because the people around them think homosexuality is something bad.
I don't think being straight acting is homophobic either. Being attracted to the same gender is not a personality trait, yet a lot of people base their whole personality and identity around that fact.
That isn't really wrong, but it's not like it is a requirement to be homosexual. You can just be a dude who who happens to dudes, or a chick who happens to like chicks.
The phrase "straight-acting" is homophobic
Who exactly agreed on what the term gay should include? The only current explanation is that gay men like MEN.(Not girls with dicks or hairless faggots).
Nowhere in there says i should dress like a circus clown in pink overly sexual clothing and parade in the street like a faggot because i consider that utterly stupid.
Gay is a sexuality, not a lifestyle
i'm a 51-yr-old closetfag, and i'm actually quite cozy in my little closet.

>Isn't it homophobic to be straight-acting
Of course not. The term straight acting is homophobic and based on the idea that all gay men are flaming queens. Being gay does not dictate how you present yourself and whether some one is feminine or masculine is based on their personality, not what gender they're attracted to. Nothing wrong with being a flamer, straight acting or anything in between.
>or in the closet?
Depends on the reason. If they live somewhere were it isn't safe to come out then why would it be homophobic? If they're in the closet because they're ashamed of being gay then I could see it being considered homophobic
People who are straight acting are in the closet, which is different than being homophobic I think. They are just scared of coming out of the closet, so they pretend to be straight and hide their sexuality.

Straight acting is not the same to be in the closet.
Yes, if you are in the closet you'll try to act straight.
But you can be openly gay and being straight acting at the same time.
It's basically not hiding that you like dudes without sticking a rainbow colored didlo in your ass.
What the shit is "straight acting"?

I've found that the closet can actually be quite spacious and accommodating. I probably have better and more frequent sex than most of the "proud" normalfags.

Not exhibiting (many or any of) the behaviors commonly associated with homosexuals in your culture.

So it's offensive to other gays if you don't adopt whatever arbitrary pointless mannerism they're obsessed with affecting and become a walking stereotype?
That has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
If someone describes themselves as straight acting, that's a major turnoff for me. First of all, they're pretty obviously not very comfortable with being gay. otherwhise they'd just say, that they aren't flamers or anything.
I am, what would be considered straight acting, I'm just an ordinary guy. other ordinary guys wouldn't bother to point out how they are so not flamboyant either. the biggest faggots I've met were "straight acting". they literally act straight, so when you get more comfortable around one another, they stop acting ... and well ...
I wouldn't call the term homophobic, it's a sign of stupidity and insecurity though.

No and no.
1.) The term "straight acting" is homophobic within itself. You are implying that it is necessary for gay men behave how YOU think they should behave, rather than being themselves. Not all of us are walking stereotypes. Some of us don't feel the need to literally make our sexuality our entire personality.
2.) Not everyone can conviently come out of the closet. Teens get kicked out of their homes and onto the streets for that shit. Not to mention that they still throw you off for buildings in Muslim countries for being LGBT.
