It's wild to me that this is such a fucking red hot point of conflict when gay men are like "I'm gay" and bi men are like "I'm gay too" and both laugh over it before one goes down on the other. https://twitter.com/CarcinoGrievous/status/1263526787897864192
I'm deliberately being obtuse and ignoring the societal dynamic whatevers between women and men

But men seem more chill about it simply between eachother

But what the fuck do I know, I'm a femcel
Lesbian functions as more of an explicitly exclusive distinction whereas Gay is now more of a catch-all.

Perhaps many people feel bi or pan is not (cool) enough, makes them a fake gay (apparently) or that Homoromantic doesn't roll off the tongue quite like Lés Bien
I guess I'm exhausted that, like other lgbt conflicts, it's settled in war of attrition style and is just generally an ugly, petty discourse.

I think it's worthwhile to understand the protectionism of lesbian in a historical sense before paving it over with conceited arguments.
