Since turning bi I realized that a lot of what I had never really “got” about gay culture honestly really makes sense in terms of relating to men and masculinity from within a queer masculinity yourself\u2026
\u2026which made me realize how much of the rest of it was legacy of a particularly ‘80s counterculture. Which is kind of cool, you’re like “oh this was a way to process while taking distance from the midcentury mainstream culture really distinct from and prior to 90s irony, huh”, but on the other hand yeah of course it was tedious seeing gays flog their Eighties shit into the 21st century
