Not Queerbaiting - Blog Posts

2 years ago

Q: What do you have to say about the queerbaiting accusations?

A: What do you mean?

Q: People are accusing you of pretending to be queer for your own personal gain.

A: I've never said I was queer.

Q: Well, no, but you flirt with your (same-gender) friends and joke about being in a relationship with them.

A: Those are just jokes; all my friends make those jokes, with all our friends, regardless of gender. Nobody gets mad at me when I make those jokes with my (not-same-gender) friends.

Q: That's different.

A: Why, because being straight is the "default"?

Q: ...

A: What I'm hearing here is that people speculated my sexuality, were wrong, and then got mad at me for it. I never pretended to be queer or said I was, I'm just comfortable joking around with my friends.

anyway…. lgbt queer GAY anyway goodnight just once. just once i want to see an interview go like this this is coming from a queer person btw and queerbaiting is real but people who are comfortable in their sexuality and joke around with their friends and/or defy gender roles are not queerbaiting they're just being themselves we want people to normalize being not straight that includes normalizing people joke-flirting with their friends of all genders not just one so when people try to just be themselves and normalize that stuff and they're jumped on for queerbaiting it's really counterproductive and thats not even MENTIONING the queer people who aren't out yet being grilled about their sexuality because they made some jokes if i was closested and famous i would simply never speak about any other person and would probably still be accused of queerbaiting its late and im rambling and tired but i just had the idea of how awesome this would be anyone about to say that people joking with their friends is queerbaiting or that people need to announce their identities publicly dni also just normalize men being friends and complimenting each other like just let them be like there's a lot of other circumstances but when it comes to people falsely accused of queerbaiting it seems to tend to be just guys being friends and nice and like complimenting each other and all of a sudden its a 'bromance' or 'borderline flirting' or 'get a room' its like that told thing where guys make eye contact for a milisecond too long and they're gay but women get married and kiss and outright say they're together amd they're just best friends
