I don’t think that today’s culture “wants everyone to be gay.” It’s more acceptable today, for good reason, but most reasonable people aren’t forcing others to be gay. However, there is small but very vocal minority of people that wants others to conform to their particular social/political viewpoints (SJWs, as they’re called). It can seem as if society “wants everyone to be gay” because these people talk over the rest of us rational LGBT people.

@MichelleC23, right. while I am accepting and have been bi curious myself before, I just feel like not everyone deserves to be called a ‘homophobe’ for having different beliefs.

@pancake, No, I don’t mean because I’m seeing it everywhere. I mean there are people who have literally told me “no, you’re gay.” When I specifically said I am not. I feel that this is the way a lot of people in our culture talk, but especially triggering for those who have HOCD.

No, but it seems to want to force acceptance of the lifestyle, regardless of one's beliefs for or against active homosexuality...

Thanks for clarifying. I do think that SJWs was what I was trying to get at, although couldn’t quite put my finger on it. It isn’t right to tell someone who they’re attracted to.

Hi! Queer person here :). In my experience, society does not want everyone to be gay. It is pride month tho, in many areas, and sometimes that leaks into July. It is likely you are seeing a ton of gay themed stuff right now, as a lot of companies are pushing towards being more inclusive and accepting of all types of people. This is the first year where I noticed it, to the point where i was like "wow, we get it, rainbows everywhere." It is quite in your face. I can totally understand how this can be triggering to someone who has themes that revolve around the fear of being gay.

what the hell? this entire day ive been trying to do ERP right? allowing the thoughts feelings, sensations be there with very little reaction, saying"oh that's a thought", "that's a feeling" don't care" etc. But it seems to be making it 100x times worse. Like its impossible to just"ignore" it, it feels so freaking real as if this was the truth, the doubts are real, the false attraction feelings and lip sensations are REAL and genuine attraction, feels ego-synotic, its impossible just to ignore or move on from it because I think I'm so hyperfocused on it all so it last the whole day. IDK right now it feels and seems as if I lost? like its not a what if but it feels factual like"I'm naturally gay, I'm gay" and it feels like normal and become ok with that. But I don't want that I don't want to be gay.

Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.
