Do you think gay guys are generally nicer?

[ksdnfkfr]

Don't mean to stereotype or anything. but seems like the guys who tell they are gay in the forums are extra nice. there's an 18 year old intern where my dad works who's openly gay and he sat with me in the lunch room while my dad was having a short meeting, and he was just so nice to me, said such nice things. usually am real uncomfortable with ppl i don't know, but was super at ease with him.

[dame]

Not sure if it's due to their sexuality, but I've met many nice gays, & I consider myself to be nice too. Maybe it's just because gays are open minded. Didn't really notice until you said something.

[CassnovA]

no, its down to the individual. i know gay people who are bitchy as fuck.

[jessie3]

No not at all, I know lot's of gay guy's who are so self arrogant and think the world revolves around them and think they should be treated nicer because there gay.

[Wyatt 13]

No Ezra I just found out some gay guys are really mean. Its about the person not the sexual orientation.

[justarandomteen]

Well like what Dame said, that gay guys are more open minded, so they are nicer, but it also depends on the individual, some straight guys are also really nice, while some gay guys aren't. Overall, the gayness may be a factor, but it comes down to the individual.

[Ethe14]

Maybe the ones you've encountered were really nice but I know plenty of gay guys that are self centered and are not nice. I'd just say this was coincidence.

P101 :arrow: Teen Sexuality and Gender

[Dalcourt]

Well, dunno I've met nice gay guys and others who were really, let's say not nice.
And as far as I'm concerned myself I don't consider myself extra nice but I guess that's up to others to decide.

[Babs]

Basically what Dame said. But I have met some gay guys who are genuinely not nice people. Although I have noticed how they sometimes tend to be kinder.

[CosmicNoodle]

I dont think so, I know a gay guy whos a compleare arse hole, but then again the other 4 gay guys I know are super nice. Perhaps because society still doent fully accpet it (unfortunately) they know what its like to have people be horrible to you for no reason so they are kind, thats why I'm nice.

[Blood]

Definitely not true. That's like making the assumption that all lesbians hate men, which obviously isn't true. A person's sexual orientation isn't going to determine whether or not they're nicer or what personality traits they have. There's nice gays just like there's mean gays.

[Gamma Male]

A quick look at ww.gayteenforums.com would answer your questions. Those guys are complete fucking assholes. They actually make fun of teens who post "ugly" selfies.


The truth is, gay guys are assholes just like everyone else. Sorry if that seems too misanthropic for you.

[Lovelife090994]

Everyone is capable of good or bad. But, even gay people no matter how artistic the group seems as a whole or unique they too are capable of being bad people.

[Svan]

Actually, no I don't.
A lot of times, gay guys are just like catty girls. I'm not saying that to be offensive.

[peyton2000]

I don't think sexual orientation gender or race makes you mean or nice

[Luminous]

Absolutely not. It's possible that a majority of the homosexual people you've met are more open minded than some of the heterosexual people you've met just because, you know, they've experienced being gay and being treated differently and could have a heightened level of respect for others, but that is in no way true for everyone or even close to everyone. I would definitely not say gay men are nicer than straight men, frankly, I think that's heterophobic. It's a huge pet peeve of mine when people make generalizations, because they're the most common kind of insult, at least from what I've experienced.

[CharlieHorse]

there's no correlation between sexuality or orientation and irritability or "niceness".

but yes i have noticed that most of the gay people i know are really nice and cool with people.

[Lovelife090994]

This is one of the best answers here. She is right. Saying gays are nicer would be an insult to everyone else. I think we forget that not all gays are victims or nice. Still, I have some of the LGBT who are very mean and heterophobic to boot. I don't think there is ever an excuse to display rudeness or generalizations.

[dirtyboxer55]

no most of the gays i've met were rather sour

[gothy]

I can't say ive experienced heterophobia. Or heard of it. But i guess it exists. Very interested in this concept now.

Homophobia i think is a greater issue and i do what i can to stop it.

I dont agree. Some gay guys are really nice. But some are really not nice. It depens. I try not to generalize people or group them based on a specific trait.
Its like saying all lesbians are radical feminist man haters. Yeah my teacher is, but i know lots of lesbians who are very nice people and don't want "every man castrated."

On a side note, not all feminists are lesbian.

And not all feminists hate men.

i think in general most gays are nice because they've been treated poorly and are more open-minded
i'm nice unless you've pissed me off i try not to judge people unless i know their situation

[BlizzardBurn]

Groups of people have to be nice when they're being oppressed so not surprised. Though I've met gays and lesbians who were very snobby so it's not a 100% thing. Hell I'm a jerk! And bisexual! WTF!?? 0_0

[Melodic]

I definetly don't agree with this. One of my old roommates were gay and he was a total judgemental douchebag. I know not all of them are mean, but they aren't all nice either.

[rtw1997]

I'm not so sure. I know many become indignant toward people who oppose same-sex marriage--why can't we just acknowledge one another's right to hold an opinion that may not match up with our own?

[maddogmj77]

Well, I consider myself gay, and I'm really nice to people just meeting them, but also very shy. BUT, if I don't like you, you can go fuck off and die. LOL

[Babiole]

Not true at all. My cousin Léandre was sexually harassed by a gay guy on his swim team. (At least one incident involved groping.) It got so bad that my cousin actually quit the team. I had to convince Léandre that not all gay guys are like the jerk who groped him.

[Pulp501]

I know a lot of gay people, and there's no noticeable difference in the ratio of nice to mean people for gays than for straight people, however they usually seem to be on the far ends of both, either super super nice, or really mean and rude.

[Hideous]

Some are, some aren't.

[Ben_Frost]

It has nothing to do with sexuality, many gay people I know is pretty obnoxious, specially with the ones belonging to the "scene". I have met very few nice gay guys and even less nice lesbian girls. And practically, zero nice bisexuals and transexuals.

[TapDancer]

Generalizations should not be made. You can say that some gay people can be nicer because they know what true unkindness is. But, that isn't to say straight people aren't just as nice. I consider myself to be a decent person, but I know homosexual people whom are quite nasty and judgemental. It is disappointing, because you would hope that minority people who have been judged would not judge, but, such is life I suppose. But I can not say that gay people are overall nicer than straight people. I don't think it has a lot to do with sexuality tbh. But that is my two cents,

[centropede]

I don't know, if they are, then im not one of them. I feel that sometimes i'm kinda rude, can't help it. :(

When it all comes down to it, being gay or straight is not going to make a mean person nice.

Exactly!

[Cognizant]

To be honest, by far some of the meanest, rudest, overly-dramatic, and demented people I know identify as gay.

But I don't think it's directly due to the fact that they're gay. It's more so that they try to live up to a certain stereotype, in my case the "preppy" gays that talk only about cawk and get really "diva-y" if they're insulted. The fact that they're gay doesn't change anything. The person could be heterosexual and still try to live up to a stereotype.
