This, boys and girls, is a textbook example of privilege and exploitation. The OP does not herself have to worry about the extensive discrimination that gay people endure on a daily basis (marriage is far from the only or even the most important issue), so she just doesn't care. Instead, she picks and chooses the parts of "gayness" (or whatever you want to call it) that she enjoys, i.e. the interesting stories that one can create about a relationship, and calls it the most important or enjoyable thing, as if a fictional relationship could be completely separated from the associations with real life problems. The associations and feelings are there in people's heads even when they're not on the page.

But the real hallmark of privilege and exploitation? Declaring that only the parts she personally likes are important and berating anyone else who tries to explain that it's more complicated than that. It's like if you were to write porn about how hot it is when two black characters get together and how it's extra special because they're black, but then turn around and tell people to STFU about racism and the problems these characters would actually face if you're going to write about them in any sort of realistic way.

YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN WITH GAYNESS WITHOUT DEALING WITH THE COMPLICATED REALITY THAT IS REAL LIFE, ASSHOLE. If you try, all you do is fetishize gayness for your own pleasure which just contributes to a mind set that makes it that much harder for gay people to be recognized as PEOPLE in their real lives.

Thank you for saying what I couldn't put into words.

YES. THANK YOU.

♥ I would like to propose anonymous gay marriage to you, my dear sir/madam!

I'm afraid the patriarchy has left me destitute, but as my dowry, I can offer you one shiny internet.
