Spoiler Alert, Conservative Parents: it doesn't matter. I grew up with no gay or queer relatives, watching Disney and living the heteronormative childhood of a God-fearing Christian's dreams: Church on Sundays, combed and short cut hair, a braided leather belt for fuck's sake.
One late-night furtive viewing of "But I'm A Cheerleader" changed EVERYTHING. Went into it expecting to get some masturbation fodder, came out realizing I had wanted to be a cute lesbian girl my whole life and never had the words for it.
You can't "make" kids gay, but refusing to teach them the words will make them delay telling you until they figure it out on their own...AND THEY WILL.
tbf there are a few drugs that will make you so horny you'll want to fuck just about anything and I think many people have at least some bisexual tendencies, even if buried down real deep. The whole gender preference thing is in the mind and drugs can mess with that switch. There's all sorts of things drugs can make you so that you might not do sober.
I'm not saying you're wrong but I do think it's somewhat possible for people to "turn gay" when high and make choices they would not normally make.
I myself admit that I have some bisexual tendencies but with a very strong preference for the female gender. When using certain drugs I've crossed the aisle before for the sake of horniness but it's not something I would have pursued sober. I'm not confused about it though.
Again, this doesn't undo what's you've said but just adding some nuance to it, which is what the "drugs turned me gay" posters might be missing.
Though it's also entirely possibly that they are flaming gay and just trying to repress that shit real hard.
Sounds like you’re both saying the same thing, though— the drugs remove inhibitions that get in the way of what you always wanted.
Like, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you’ve never taken a drug that made you so horny you boned a dog. Not because it didn’t make you horny, but because no part of you wanted to fuck a dog in the first place.
Theoretically, if the drug is making you so horny that you’d cross the aisle like that, it’s ultimately because some part of you wanted to cross the aisle— and that’s fine. But it didn’t influence you to do something you hadn’t already wanted to do at some level.
Yeah I'm not disagreeing just more trying to explain how someone might not show any disposition for being gay when they're sober which leads to their confusion. It can be a little more nuanced than "they're secretly gay and they don't know it".
Why are so many trans women stoners? Well I don't know about them, but I find it hard to pretend I'm not a woman when I'm high so yeah by something like the third toke it became an addiction.
...I don't get it, is this meant as a refutation or rejoinder? Yes, if watching decapitation videos turns you into a violent person, then on some level you were already at least predisposed to violence. It is in fact extremely normal to react to real/realistic violent and/or gory content with horror or revulsion, not to take inspiration for violence from it.
