Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

When people tell me "I thought you were gay," or whatever, I reply, "I'm not, but thank you for noticing me."

My gay friends have told me that I'm one of the least gay people they've ever seen. I don't totally know what that means, but it weirdly hurts.

If a gay friend told me that, I would have said “you have shit taste in men”

My queer kids seem to think I am lesbian. The girlfriends "are you sure your mom isn't lesbian?" I literally have birthed 4 of kids , half of that set queer, and myself had only 2 long term relationships, both with men. I'm only into men, as far as I can tell. Am not offended in the least, as I get older I do wish it was so, women hold up better; and they obviously mean it as a compliment, it's just funny.

did women read in cosmo that inferring a guy is gay makes a good pickup line? or do I just look gay? Shit is confusing AF, but I suspect the former.

If lots of women are asking if you're gay, it means you appear gay. Probably less so in your literal appearance (if you aren't aware of it) and more in your patterns of speach and behavior.

Oh my god it's the funniest thing. I know this far-right guy, super homophobic and transphobic, who talks and gestures like the campiest gay man you've ever seen. I don't mean campy like IRL campy. I mean literally cartoon campy. I'm talking full-blown Family Guy gay stereotype campy.

This was my life in the early 90’s the gay clubs had better music and women felt safer there. Many girlfriends started off by them saying “too bad your gay other wise we would be fucking.”

Lmao. Would love to hear this from a gay man. Would just simply say, I don't have the fashion drive to be a gay man.

I used to get clocked as gay all the time back when I could afford to dress myself. This was before I knew. I still am queer, but now I just live in crisis levels of poverty, can't afford to dress- my life is in shambles, and I never get called out on it anymore. -sigh-
