I'll tell you why as a man who likes men.
I never wanted anything more than equality. I wanted equal and fair treatment under the law. I never wanted to be pandered to or coddled because you didn't want to be seen as "homophobic".
I never wanted businesses to be bullied for their own beliefs and practices.
I never wanted to be seen as "transphobic" for not wanting to have sex with a trans person. I never wanted to see shitty cliché gay characters shoved into media because of ✨ representation✨
Normal people don't care about who you sleep with, but homosexual male community has a serious issue with making who they stick their dick in a huge part of their identity.
People are pushing back because they're annoyed as fuck.
