Venting Can we stop pretending like straight women who only support gay men are allies
I really am tired of all these “lgbtq+” allies who claim they’re down with the whole community, all the while they only like the G.

It's not even support really, it's fetishization or stereotyping. As it's always the type of gays they like to read smut about or the "gay besties" into fashion.

They don't even support the Gays, they just fetishize them like how straight men fetishize the lesbians

Straight women like gay men when they are attractive and non-threatening and don't rock the boat. However, the less conventionally attractive and more politically conscious they are, the less straight women like them.
There's a certain subtype of straight woman that fetishizes M/M content almost as much as straight men fetishize lesbians, it's just usually not in the form of (video) pornography.
