Straight

Well, there seems to be a thread for LGBT, so why not for all the straight folk as well?
Equality, or something of the sort. Celebrate diversity and all that. If somehow the posting of this thread causes offense, please note that it is unintentional and I intended to maintain a neutral tone at introduction. My sincerest appologies in advance.

In all honesty, I am not really that interested in getting into a relationship with anyone. Well, not as of now. Time and circumstances would not allow it.

You know... it's funny how seeing this topic gave me a moment of pause. I had a preconception coming in, despite the fact that I have no reason for such. I'd like to say I have faith this won't be taken the wrong way, but Tumblr and SoFurry have given me reason for pause with the topic at hand. It's odd when I caught myself thinking that way, since I support the equality of all humanity, why should this integral part of myself make me worry about the civility of matters when it comes to a discussion? Especially here, a place with a general understanding of fairness. And yet here I am half-expecting someone to come from the woodwork and say 'this thread has no reason to exist,' and equally so believing that's just the past experiences speaking up.

I guess my past experience with how people react to the simplest of things in any regard tends to give me a pause anyway. I greatly dislike conflict, even though I have more than learned how to cope when I find it. But that's enough of that, quite frankly I trust everyone here far more than I could say for the other two sites, even if there have been hiccups here and there. I just didn't like how a topic set to my own orientation gave me the kind of pause it did...

But well, here I am. I'm certainly proud of who I am in a lot of ways, and I most certainly find value in everyone and everything. I know there are a few other straight furs still roaming around as well, but I can say I certainly don't see very many on the forums lately.

So do we talk about how much we like the other gender? :P
What do people do on LGBT threads?
I feel like trying to parody too much XD

Nah, not quite. The other topic was started simply for the sake of finding people in the LGBTQ community on the forums. I'd imagine the topic here would follow a similar vein.

I seem to be an infiltrator from the LGBT forums. But I'm bi so I guess in a way I'm kind of half-straight?  XP I can leave if I need to I suppose ^^

I've observed the weirder side of Tumblr and other sites for awhile so I can see that some people are apparently in a backlash against straight people for...some reason  :S Some het people even call themselves (IMO unnecessary, but I'm not here to start a debate) labels like demisexual, sapiosexual or more obscure non-orientations just to be different or seem non-straight.  Even the flags are kinda funny. Everyone knows the lgbt flag is a colorful rainbow, but the common straight flag I see is all grayscale. Is there a reason every other orientation is pretty colors and the straight one isn't?  XP

Again, sorry if I'm just kind of invading and being rude. I'm just musing about some things. IMO I would love it if everyone could never worry or feel marginalized for whoever they choose to love, and are no better or worse than anyone else :p

I've personally witnessed quite a few times in places where people have devalued people for being straight. It's baffling how often I've witness bigotry towards straight people from people in the LGBT community, especially considering how they preach acceptance and equality yet don't seem to show it themselves. You can argue that it's the ignorance of certain straight people that brings it on but that's no excuse.

From what it's worth I think it's great two have threads for both sides of the equation, it'll help increase the sense of equality and acceptance in this community.

Guys, if we start with Tumblr, this topic is lost anyways :'D
I'm homo- and transphobic for only wanting to date cis-males anyways so yeah... Poor oppressed me who adheres to the patriachal standard of women wanting to bear children!

But yeah, I'm straight. I like to call myself gay though because all furries are gay. And since I'm into men I am gay! Haha! *coughcough*


I've had people try to convert me into being into girls too, but I guess this is just how things go. We have enough people thinking they can "cure" homo-/bisexuality so I guess I can live with the occasional lesbian being mad at me for not wanting to get into her pants :'D

ANYWAYS what really irks me: LGBT have fancy banners and motivational pictures. I find so many pretty pictures with cute little animals wearing LGBT-colored scarves and there NEVER is one for straight people Q_Q *gross sobbing*

Females and straights in the fandom are a lie, everyone knows that, don't they? ;P

But yeah, that's a common joke pulled on my fav Teamspeak Server. Since my voice _can_ be interpreted as a pre-puberty boy, I am able to adhere to stereotypes =D

Also I hope you didn't hurt yourself while rolling over the floor :D
