    Yeah, gay men from more prosperous backgrounds have some fucked up coping skills, they get worse as they rise in the world.

    It’s more about class sickness than anything about being gay. Being a sexual minority fucks you up in any scenario, it’s just how the fucked upedness plays out at that level.

    As a good old fashioned working class male homo who can pass as prosperous due to education and natural perspicuity, I have broad experience seeing how class fucks up gay men specifically.

      In my experience, the gay community (at least - the gay male community in Houston that I’m familiar with) is this incredibly tight knit and supportive group of sincere and loving people. The adversity brought this minority group together and bound them into a network of mutual aid and compassion for one another that’s so far removed from anything I see among straight peers.

      It’s one more wedge issue used by the ruling class to divide and conquer.
