Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay? (self.asklemmy)

to be clear, i've been out to the rest of my family for a long time, and i am very open about my sexuality (even irl, which takes at least some balls because i'm not in a very lgbt-friendly region). the reason i am not out to my father is that he has always been a traditional "man of the house" person, and i am not driving a wedge in our relationship by letting him know that his ideal bloodline ends with me.

if you don't understand the cultural contexts in which i reside, do not assume my intentions or degrade my decisions.
