Some people may say that I am writing this for alterior motives and maybe I am but I don't really think so. I have removed all the intimate details and am going to leave it pretty bland. Just fill in the blanks, ok?
Am I the only one who is blind to the motives of straight people getting into gay businesses? So I do business with straight owned companies and I don't really pay attention unless they are obviously homophobic and say something I catch or what someone passes on to me. I think sometimes we do business with people for long periods of time and then something happens which causes us to part ways and then suddenly we get that nasty realization that we have been fooled, tricked and only appreciated for our business, our money.
Homophbic stories start to surface all over and comments made to other people get back to us. We suddenly realize that these people are NOT part of our "gay family" and we start realizing that all that goes with that.
Sure they may put out a gay flag to pretend to welcome others and the scinerio starts all over, sitting there, smiling and pretending to be open-minded and welcoming, but it's a game, a con. All because some straights bought, aquired a gay business and here is where they make their money.
Why do we do this? Am I that nieve that I am one of the only people that falls for it. Do others get tricked and I am not the only one?
Let's keep the ill feelings that some of you may have for me out of this as I am asking a genuine question here. Straight people put out gay flags, smile to our face and at least I immeadiately believe that they are really gay welcoming and they are not. Its a business, just like going to the bar and getting a boy and thinking, for the most part, that they are genuinely in love with a fat old smelly man that may be 3 times their age. Well maybe they are and maybe they are not, but I really am annoyed when I realize that once again I am tricked and conned that straight business owner(s) might be interested in me and not for the money I put in their pocket, the things I do for them and the money maybe I loan them. Stay where you are Mr J or Mr R but know in your heart it's all a con. They don't like us and never did.
What I want to know is that does this happen to you also? What do you do about it? Do you say something or do you just vote with your feet? Do you fall for it from a business person, who provides you with any type of service or a boy that comes over to your house? Tell us all about it. :sharm:
