Sometimes in between life and adulting, you experience a burst of gratitude. Grateful for where you are, grateful for the things you’ve overcome, grateful for the hope of a better tomorrow. God handpicks the details of our lives because what a life man.
Shoutout to heterosexual men who are genuinely comfortable in their sexuality.
Men who can exist around gay men without treating homosexuality like it’s contagious, or thinking that being seen with us somehow puts their own sexuality up for debate.
And I think that’s part of what I want Awkward Dates to normalize: heterosexual men and homosexual men existing in the same space without either person having to perform a role.
The gay guy doesn’t have to become the “gay bestie,” the handbag or the entertainment. And the straight guy doesn’t have to become defensive, hypermasculine or immediately assume, “he wants me.”
Sometimes two men with different sexualities can literally just… vibe. Laugh. Talk shit. Respect each other. Exist.
Because being comfortable around a gay man doesn’t make a straight man less straight.
And being gay doesn’t mean we want every straight man we meet.
Please. We have types too. 😭😂❤️
