Gay and bi SWeeps

Do you ever get annoyed that most of the questions on SW are geared towards straight people?

I think a lot of people are missing your point here. :\ People presuppose an audience when they ask a question, particularly about relationships or family, and that excludes people. It is almost certainly unintentional, but the end result of excluding people is the same.

@CountScrofula Yeah, it gets you down after a while.

@Straylight I'm sorry. I don't know what it's like to be in your shoes but I do know what it's like to feel invisible or excluded and that's shitty.

@CountScrofula 🤗

Most of the questions annoy me regardless of their orientation

Straylight · 31-35, F

@ProdigalSummer lol. But true.

If I were gay or bi and came across a question directed to straight users and I wanted to answer it I’d just answer it anyway based on my experiences lol. 😆 Similar to this one.

I think people just ask questions based on more so what they’re interested in I don’t think it’s an intention to leave out gay and bi people for most users and I also don’t think they’re discouraging them from commenting either at least I’m not when making post. Answer based on whatever gender you’re into I couldn’t careless.

@AcidBurn It's a question. That's my answer. From the question, I wouldn't know if she personally cares. I would have to read the comments she has made and find out from that. It isn't about being insensitive at all. By "Who gives a shit?", I meant that I personally give no shits. So step off, mate.

@SW-User I was mostly joking. Tis nice to see how butthurt you can get though.

SW-User

@AcidBurn I don't know about it being a joke. I just responded to what you said, dude.

Lol not really, i just answer them anyway

Straylight · 31-35, F

@Tubbs I do too.

I reckon they could always just ask lgbtq questions themselves?

TGJessica · 26-30, T

Well, most people are straight, so it makes sense.

AcidBurn

Not really. I just skip over em.

@AcidBurn I had a panic attack or something last night, I think I'm still letting it get to me.

AcidBurn

@Straylight it happens. Just remember that it's only temporary. Keep yourself distracted and it'll pass (:

Straylight · 31-35, F

@AcidBurn Thanks, I will. 🤗

SW-User

No. I just answer them anyway from my perspective. Even if it's not what they were looking for.

gaygod · F

Nope. I just ignore and move on 🤷‍♀️ There’s plenty more interesting questions that I can answer

69lover69 · 31-35, F

Yeah. Like what wrong with two girls having hard core sex.

Carver · 31-35, F

No, that's just silly!

Straylight · 31-35, F

@Carver Sometimes it makes me feel lonely.

Carver · 31-35, F

@Straylight I don't understand that. But all the other LGBT users answering so far are expressing indifference about it. That should tell you something.
