I had no idea Bret was gay

I was shocked when Bret said that he was gay.
Mhhmmm. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he indicated to Zeke that he was gay. My gaydar must be non-existent because Brett never pinged at all to me.
I guess that's what a lifetime of pretending will do though: he built his "straight guy" facade to be very high and impenetrable. -

It makes sense now when I think back to when he was trying to make a fire and gave up so easily.
That would mean the straight guys who give up on fire making are actually gay using your logic. I know you're not to blame for your idiotic opinion. The gays who need attention by putting on this fake persona everyday are. It also doesn't help that majority of gay male characters on TV shows are based off the twink and drag community. This is what's causing the typical stereotype opinion of how all gays should act. It's also what causes the tension between gays like Bret and gays like Colton. Not every gay man feels they need to advertise themselves like Colton does. It's a desperate, pathetic cry for attention from others. -

Whoa, whoa, whoanot all flamboyant gay guys are like that for attention. Some are just naturally so, and I assume some pick it up from their communities.

I've never met a gay man who can't turn off the show. I've been to multiple gay communities in the state I live in. Most of the ones I've met that put on a show do it for attention. In the end that's why majority of the twinks and drags do this. Some want the spotlight and the narrow-minded opinions. A few of them think it makes them stronger like it keeps them going. You go to the bear communities of the gay culture here and you'll find most are irritated with the feminine gays because that's how majority of this world think gays act. Being gay doesn't mean you have to act like an obnoxious school girl that dresses like a clown. Gay only changes the gender you have sex with; not your whole behavior, voice, and style of clothing.

Those members of the LGBT community would do better to focus on supporting each other, instead of judging how others choose to express themselves. I dislike this idea of having to act a certain way to make straight people comfortable.
It's respectability politics.

It's not all about the straight people with this issue. Again, being gay doesn't change anything about how you act as a person. Do you know how insulting it is to hear someone say to you "You're gay? You don't act gay. Are you sure?" on a regular basis when someone finds out you're gay? The twink and drag community are the sole ones to blame for this. They put on such a show that it created a stereotype for how majority of the world sees gays. I don't like the idea that some gays think they have to act like little bitches changing their wardrobe, voice, gestures, and personality just because of how the twink and drag community acts. That's insulting and the real issue why we're having topics like these right now when someone reveals they're gay when they don't fit the stereotype being seen to the world.

Wow. Okay. First of all, there is no one way to be gay. Effeminate men exist within the same spaces as butch men. Second, it's not the responsibility of LGBT people to enlighten straight people. I'm relatively hetero and I figured that sh!t out on my own.
Third, I think the real problem lies with people like you, and not anyone in or around the gay community.
