Saying you’re “straight acting”

So you enjoy sports over shopping and discussing craft beer over Beyoncé, but at the end of the day, you still enjoy having sexual relations with men and there is nothing straight about that. I get it. Being gay has been intimately tethered to being effeminate and society has taught us being effeminate is the same as being submissive and weak (there’s that misogyny again). But the sooner we cut out this femme-shaming and masc4masc crap, the sooner we’ll all be free to be our authentic selves and be accepted for showing up exactly as we are–not acting a certain way.
