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.

I need some advice
So I haven’t been on this app in a while. But I just want advice on how to overcome this. I’m now 18 and I’ve been trying out dating apps. I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda picky when it comes to dating only because I plan on dating to marry…so I take it a bit more seriously. But for some reason it’s so hard to click with people on these dating apps. So my friend was helping me through this dating apps process. I told her that I wasn’t interested in this guy I was texting anymore because of the way he was responding to my messages. And she says maybe you’re gay…this is honestly the sixth time (I’m definitely over exaggeration but this isn’t the first time someone had said this to me) someone has ask/said this. Every time someone says this it literally sends me down this spiral of are they seeing something I’m not seeing. Despite never having a crush on a girl my mind goes down this loop of overthinking. And when I say I don’t want that lifestyle or I don’t really find pleasure in being apart of the lgbtq community my mind is like in denial. I just wanted to have a fun teenage dating experience and now every time I open the app I always think what if I really am gay and I’m just in denial…or what if the reason why I’m not connecting with anyone is because I’m really into girls. Since i’m also religious, my mom wants to go what you’re denying who we are because of your religion. And I tried to reassure myself by saying I would know if that was the case like I would feel deep down who I’m truly attracted to and know that I’m trying to cover it up by dating men. This whole thing is so mentally taxing because I was going through this all throughout my senior year of high school and I’m not going into my freshman year of college so. Like I literally felt so much anxiety next to one of my classmates who was gay and a masculine presenting. I feel like if I would’ve told this to anyone, they’d say of course you’re in denial. But ig reply if you can relate
