I considered myself a gay man for a long time but I've given up the label. I'm not really into going with anyone.

In my experience, gay men engage in oppression far more than straight men.

Gay men are constantly putting other gays down, projecting insecurities on to each other, and are the least "welcoming" people I have met.

I don't know why. It is very sad.

I have tried many times to be friendly and to go out of my way to overlook such hostility.

I've never seen that from straight men and certainly not to that degree.

I wanted to post this because the narrative is that gay men are the most welcoming, non-oppressive, bunch ever, and at the very least, that is completely untrue. If you want to say everyone is equally as mean to everyone, then fine. But certainly, please, do not claim gay men are a super special tolerant bunch.
