    There are some horrible gay men out there. Ask gay men. Or look at Peter Thiel. Like yes you should ideally have some variety in your friend group because that helps with empathy but this is not explicitly about gay men. Kinda tokenizing to act like it is. Similar to “You need black friends so you learn to dance better” or some bs like that.

      Yeah. I was about to post the first gay man (that I knew was gay) was an asshole. I didn’t think all gay men were assholes, but I learned empathy before high school, so I was able to assume he was just a selfish dick.

          Yes. He was in high school too. Maybe I should have said a gay male? Since he was a teen.

          My current wife was friends with him and he was trying to be straight for a while. He dated a girl in high school before he came out, but it was odd.
