@ all the lgbt people making posts about how it’s annoying when people “replace their personalities with being gay”: no one is replacing their personality with being gay or revolving their personality around being gay…what you see online is not the total and absolute representation of an lgbt person so when you see them talk about bein gay or trans or whatever that’s them finding comfort in being open about themselves in a place where most people will be there to support them and relate with them as a community… however the same could still apply to someone who is being open about being lgbt irl so if you have an issue with someone “flaunting” their lgbt-ness and think it’s them replacing their personality with something else then you’re just being an idiot and not using ya critical thinking skills to realize it’s hard for lgbt people to be so open and all in most places it’s not unusual for people to compensate for that elsewhere ! no one cares if you as an lgbt person want to pander to straight cis people and be just like them when they shame lgbt people for “”“flaunting”“” their idenitities online or with friends get over your internalized issues with your own identity before you mess with everyone else’s pride/comfort in theirs…stop projecting your insecurities …seriously..
