By now we all understand that there are misconceptions about gay people and yet folks keep on feeding into the stereotypes. So today I am going to once again clear up misconceptions that people have about the gay community because there is never enough of that.
“Gays are sex fiends.”
A lot of people are convinced that gay men only want sex and with apps like Grindr really working the idea of dick pics and sex slang into everything it makes sense that people think this however its not the be all end all and truth. Libido depends on the person and not sexual orientation so there will be promiscuous gay men but also ones that want monogamy and to settle down or who are even asexual. Just like there are promiscuous lesbians and straight men and women.
“Gay parents will raise gay babies.”
Firstly there is nothing wrong with that. Secondly there have been numerous research reports that show it doesn’t make a difference. That’s all folks!
“Gay men are attracted to all men.”
No, just like being heterosexual you will not be attracted to every single person of the sex you like. It’s ridiculous to think that just because a man is gay it means he’s into you.
“Gay men live like they are at Studio 54.”
Believe it or not every gay male is not into partying hard and being flamboyant but if they are why stop them? Being gay is only a part of a person’s identity and doesn’t constitute the entire thing. You will find party animals and homebodies and it doesn’t matter the sexual orientation.
“Children raised by gay couples end up with mental illness and traumatic experiences.”
Once again studies has shown that this isn’t true and there are no significant differences between children raised by gay or straight couples. Gay couples also have also been known to be different in their parenting styles and studies have shown they are only more cooperative making children feel safe and grow up with good intentions and feeling fuller as a person.
“Straight and Gay relationships are vastly different.”
This really doesn’t make sense and it’s wrong. It has been shown that couples go through the same formalities whether they are gay or straight (chores, moving in together, paying bills, sex)
Before judging gay couples be informed and use some logic.
