"All the people I shit-talk constantly not inviting me to their parties is gatekeeping"
@Sparrow I'm oversimplifying, but I've definitely seen people act like because they're queer, all other queer people are somehow obligated to be their friends.
And I was making a joke without knowing the context, apologies.
Yeah, I've definitely seen this with queer folx. It actually reminds me a lot of this article I linked to about a week ago about geek friendship faux pas. One of them was the "inability" of geeks, having been bullied as kids, to exclude anybody from hangouts... leading to situations with "that one guy" everyone secretly dislikes being invited to parties. Queer friend groups work similarly, for similar reasons.
@Sparrow Yeah.
I do think that queer people can be needlessly cruel to each other. But, also, if your twitter feed is like 70% you yelling at other marginalized people, maybe don't get mad at them not inviting you to their clubhouse.
@Noelle808
... What?
I mean, maybe in the very literal sense. :P
