    This also works with racist / cultural jokes.

    ETA The problem jokes that capitalize on racist stereotypes tend to be cringe, and not good cringe (like puns).

    I haven’t really met like a hundred queers in my life but I have this one gay friend that been my bestie for a solid 12 years so far and never heard him or any of our other queer friends tell a joke it’s always the straights who tell the gayest and yet funniest jokes and they always land home, that’s just my experience so far I wish to meet someone that would change my mind tho

      I haven’t had the same experience with jokes (my experience aligns more with the meme) but I always hear the most homoerotic comments from the straights.

      I’m closeted to one group of friends, and i openly say gay shit because it’s funny and I can get away with it and have only been questioned once. But good lord can some of the straight people in that group effortlessly say gayer shit than me.

    Honesty, I think it would be fairly easy to figure out.

    If it is derogatory - homophobe.

    If it points out an idiosyncracy, and makes fun of it - queer, or at least not homophobe.

    In my experience, bgoted people make jokes that insult and/or demean those people they hate. It is not done primarily to be funny, but to hurt and demean. Making it funny just helps spread it around.

      Maybe my friends are just weird but I heard my Queer friends tell to eachother such queer-phobic stuff,as joke of course but with a serious voice so a third person could believe that they are serious, that I was extremely shocked the first few times we hung out 😂😂😂 Now I laugh my ass off but I would never dare to do it myself even tho I’m 100% sure they would be down with it. 🏳️‍🌈

      whoa, no, this is not at all my experience. practically the opposite.

      very often queer people make self-deprecating jokes about their communities that are on their face insulting.

      this sounds like a good idea to me because I don’t think anybody would get it.

      it would be like that TV show or whatever who tells the truth, to tell the truth, that nobody ever wins because nobody ever knows when somebody else is lying.

      It’s easy if you ignore the closeted folks who are terrified of being found out and participate in the gay shaming.

        same. I first realized what he was when he had sex with a girl for the first time and then kept ranting about how disgusting and unattractive her body was. suddenly his vocal hatred of anything “gay” and constant homoerotic “jokes” made sense

          It’s not, a scientific study showed homophobic participants gay porn and measured their reaction. The overwhelming majority of them “liked what they saw”…

            Fun fact, the method they used to determine arousal isn’t admissible as evidence in court in the US because it’s not reliable enough. I’m guessing none of the “homophobia is the fault of the gays!” popsci articles mentioned that part, though.

            Given that homophobia was very widely accepted until the past decade or two, it would be incredibly stupid to argue that almost all of society was gay until very recently.

        “Gay Agenda” maybe?

        IDK some people really do go about their lives hunting for anything with any relation to the thing (or group) they hate. They think about the thing (or group) they hate more than those that are the thing (or group) in question.
