1 “When Did You ‘Decide’ to Be Gay? ”

Just. .. No. an Overwhelming Number of Studies Have Indicated That Our Sexual Orientations Are Mainly Driven by Our Genetics and Our Surrounding Environment, Not Our Own Will.

2 “But My Religion Is Against Gays – People Like You. ”

Let Me Stop You Right There. First, Religion Should Not Infringe on Others Leading Their Lives Authentically. Second, Your Alignment with Groups Which Cherry-Pick the Kinds of People They Support Is Simply Vile.

3 “You’re Not into Me, Are You? ”

Consider This: If a Heterosexual Person Does Not Have a Crush on All of Their Friends of the Opposite Gender, Then Neither Does a Queer Person. My Response to This Sort of Remark Is Always: “Sorry, I Don’t Do Pity Dates. ”

4 “How Do You Know You’re Gay If You’ve Never Kissed a (Member of the Opposite Gender)? ”

Ask Yourself This: How Do You Know You’re Not? Exactly. Given That We Don’t Have the Option to Adopt Our Sexualities, It Is Only Natural That Our Brains Send Signals to Us About the Gender We Are Attracted To. Heterosexual People Are Attracted to the Opposite Gender. Homosexual People Are Attracted to the Same Gender. It’s Not Rocket Science.

5 “Are You the ‘Guy’ or the ‘Girl’ in a Relationship? ”

You Just Lit up Half of Twitter. First Things First. Assigning Traditional Men and Women Roles in Relationships Is Pure Sexism. There Is No Need to Boil Intricate Interactions Down to This Simple Concept. Gendered Roles Are Certainly Not an Ingredient for a Fledgling Romance.

6 “What Happened to You? You’ve Changed. ”

As You Can Tell by the Tone of This Article, This Is an Absolute No-Go.
