Because they think that giving people equal rights is an infringement on theirs, like it’s sharing a pie. They’re afraid of losing the monopoly on power and the status quo changing. It’s gross.
Where as I got like a severe anger borderline personality disorder from the trauma they put on me I feel bad for the person who actually speaks like this bigot does around me in person because I've never seen one in person yet I'll end up in prison I can absolutely see myself blacking out on someone if they spoke so bigoted and homophobic and misogynistic around me
Every gay kid experiences CPTSD it’s unavoidable. We don’t recognise, treat or heal it as a community. Growing up knowing that you are gay, and that your family, friends and society may abandon you if they find out is trauma and it’s a trauma that is normalised by not only people around us but ourselves.
Being gay isn’t easy……. That’s ridiculous. It’s just so short sighted and simplistic - I just think people are only voting for financial gain and money. I just find it incredibly selfish.
That guy needs a reality check , he has too much free time, he says all of this when he is in no position of being in any minority group, he doesn't have to worry about his rights. You handled it really well Tinx❤️✨️
The second man, Anthony, was an absolute gem and so appreciate his sharing of his experiences and real talk. And your emotional response to him in thinking about your friends was really meaningful and genuine.
That caller has zero clue…… he should shut the hell up. It’s not easy being gay in any country, I know as a gay man. Even harder for our trans brothers and sisters. I worry for the reproductive health of all woman going forward. Keep up the great work, keep fighting for the rights and freedoms of those that may not have a voice. All the best from Melbourne Australia ❤
Thank you so much for being an ally and a voice for us. We need it now more than ever. We all need to check in on each other and have each other's backs. We are truly in for a very very hard time - possibly moreso than ever.
My sister genuinely believes that kids growing up with ginger hair have a harder time than gay children. I just didn’t even bother trying to debate it with her.
Sounds more like the caller is deeply frustrated that he can’t communicate with women 🤷🏻♂️ womp womp. Why do all their internal frustrations turn into targeting a minority.
I love how he emphasizes "easier to connect with the same sex" then jumping to the conclusion that makes easier yet fails to actually process that the gay person has to go through multiple steps just to even be with another gay person far as facing discrimination from others, their own families, meeting another gay person, and other reasons I can't immediately think of also just because you're gay doesn't mean you know everyone else who is, your pool is so much smaller. It can actually suck how compatible men are with each other because there are so many friendships that gay men have had with straight men where they develop a crush but could never dare to express that because it can make things awkward or the person coming out could get a visceral response so that "perk" actually has a huge downside or it could be a situation where you find out your crush is closeted which complicates things further.
@tekgid433 You don’t get to tell people what to say or believe… you have the constitutional right to believe in God, and we have the constitutional right to NOT believe in your magic sky daddy. The street goes both ways.
I've never seen a tinx video and I just wanted to say As someone who was abandoned at 12 and homeless from around 12-18 Girl Your support and using your bigger platform for us You have no idea how much it means Don't shed tears for us What you do we are so grateful for using your platform I can't say thanks for giving the other side a chance to debate at this point because face it my own parents abandoned me, I've lived and seen enough to know we are never gonna change their minds and this will only be a teeter totter as long as you as a society allow it to be But I do thank u so much tinx for at least using your platform to speak on our behalf as well so we aren't totally drowned out by propaganda and lies before the next eventual genocide against us
It’s so obvious that most MAGA people don’t have a single gay person in their lives…. if they took the time to actually get to know gay and trans people, they wouldn’t feel this way.
Friendship is not the same as a romantic relationship wtf, if all humans were just naturally pansexual and not homophobic he'd have a point but that's not reality, and of course that completely overlooks the legalities of marriage and parental rights, etc. Some people just rely on anecdotal evidence and reasoning and overlook everything else that should rank above, especially in politics, where law matters.
Never hear of you Tinx, but love you after watching this! 💕🏳️🌈 I’m scared for these next 4 years but we can get through it if we stand with each other ✊🏼🫂
As a black american man and gay man, I really appreciate and love you tinx. I was hoping this would be a better and more inclusive time for minorities and marginalized groups including the LGBTQ, BIPOC and women in america but there unfortunately is still a lot of progress to be made but with trump and republicans taking over, there's a lot to be worried about and I'm extremely disappointed in America. And you're so right homophobia and transphobia are VERY pravalent in America especially in Republicans, conservatives, religious fundamentalists and oldsr generations generally. I just turned 23 on the 6th and i don't know how to feel, this is scary and being gay is not at all easy, and with my intersecting identities of being both black and gay in America, it can be very uniquely challenging wirh that as well. My family is mostly homophobic and it hurts bad and that caller was something else for sure 😢😢
Getting along with someone of whichever gender is just based on personality and shared social interests, it has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality. The fuck?!
I live in Helsinki Finland and beeing gay is fabulous 💅 Beeing gay is not easy but it has it's positives. I love beeing gay. I loved it in the 90' despide all the shit I had to experience and now I'm living my best life with a muslim imigrant gay man from Iraq. The wisest man I know.
Being gay is not easy at all. And loving someone of the same sex? Sir, gay men aren't even dating each other like that. But that is a conversation for another time.
Romance is difficult for everybody. I doubt this guy knows any gay people. He made this assumption out of ignorance. One could make the argument that there are fewer gay people in the population overall to match with. Straight people have better odds of matching than we do. And as a gay man, I personally get along better with women. 😂
Well first, being attracted to the same sex does not mean relationships are easier whatsoever. Statistics show that gay relationships are harder than straight relationships because our relationships are not encouraged. We don’t get to experience relationships throughout high school middle school they’re not validated also most gay men don’t have good relationships with other men because most men bully and harassed gay men for being who they are so this is a dumb take stop speaking on gay issues if you haven’t lived that experience.
He's the type of guy to be jealous of gay men because he thinks it's easier to get sex with men compared to women, then bases his opinion around one concept like that 😂
All I can say is I am SO grateful to be on the side of this country that loves and empathizes. And as long as we continue doing so, we will always be the strongest
he thinks its easy because he doesnt understand women. what he doesnt understand is that when youre gay in america you literally arent allowed to date without repurcussions of some kind. Me and plenty other people literally didnt get to have early dating experiences to help us learn. some of us were the ONLY gay people we knew. alone. this is such a shitty take
What does “easier to connect” have to do with the way society treats us???? If it’s criminalized again….it doesn’t fucking matter how much easier it is for us to get along and newsflash: it isn’t any easier to date or find a partner
Literally I just wrote a letter to one of my (few) straight guy friends expressing how grateful I am for his kindness and support, despite the teasing he may get for being friends with a “fruit”
Thank you Tinx for your kind words and open mind Your one of the good ones❤ A rush of emotions came over me watching you being so open minded and real in a good way I don’t know where the future is going now because of this thing but people like you make it hopeful and I’ll speak for the gay community, we’re not going anywhere and will battle till the end if it goes there! Xo
Just want to say that I have so much respect for your ability to disagree with civility the DAY AFTER the election when so many of us were in the acute phase of grief. On this caller’s topic of “it being easier to be gay”, I think it’s actually glosses over reality to allow for his cognitive dissonance: if you study attachment theory, you know that many gay folks would have insecure attachment figures from childhood (as do lots of people across all ages, races, and genders). Just because I get along with women and have a deeper innate understanding of what it means to be a woman, doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t bring my the insecure patterns that I learned within my family system to a romantic attachment figure. That rationale dismisses the reality of so many queer people around the world, and I truly think you dealt with this caller very graciously.
You can still be fired for being gay, work in a right to hire and right to fire state in the south, ive seen it happen talked to lawyers with friends, and yeah it's totally legal loophole
my friend unless you yourself are gay please don't insinuate that gay men have it easy. gay men already have it hard enough whether it's being accepted by your own family, being bullied in school, afraid of being harassed alongside your significant other just for loving a man, the list goes on.
Yeah he was very ignorant about that which makes sense because he's straight but Jesus Christ that was so bad 😂. He was lacking a large understanding of how dynamics work.
He speaks pretty clearly, but the logical leaps are wild. It's basic critical reasoning. How can he not realize that one aspect being potentially easier does NOT mean being gay as a whole is easier? Women had doors held open for them, but they couldn't get bank accounts, vote, and died in childbirth. So being a woman is easier because of one thing?
Thank you so much for speaking your mind, especially because you have such a far reach. I’m pleasantly surprised by your views after the rumors that were spread about you whenever that was. As women, we are in this together. 💙
I haven’t even finished his take yet on gay/trans people but the argument that people make towards the LGBTQ+ community or any community for that matter where you accepting and embracing yourself as being a choice in what your identity is is so misconstrued which is ridiculous to me. Just scratch the surface a bit more and you’ll get to the answer. Also, the comments made about it being easier to be gay when you develop same sex attractions coming from a homosexual man when I had my first crush on my best friend in middle school in no way was it easy. I had nothing to relate to because none of my guy friends were into the hobbies, shows, music, etc. I was nor did we have the same romantic experiences. I related more to women who were the opposite sex. This idea is so flawed.
HOLY SHIZ. 3:05 and this guy is talking about reasons he thinks growing up gay is "easy" and a priviledge over growing up straight. I dont know how this woman is going to respond but by the looks of her expression and the title of the video it's clear she's about to go IN and I appreciate and thank her for it. But as a gay guy myself, this conversation is so misguided and basic that I can't even finish the video. Some people really are THAT stupid. Peace.
I had to stop the video the second you teared up when the 2nd caller intorduced himself coz I instantly started tearing up too and i’m at the gym, and I can’t deal with this now emotionally, but girl... Ah. ❤️
came back and cried even more when the second caller thanked you for “your willingness to listen to other points of view” - like wow ❤ kudos all around, sending lots of love to you, and to that caller ❤
Yeahhhhhhhh bc skipping the entire journey before getting to a point where you're comfortable with your sexuality and who all you're around to be able to express it how you like just to finally be at that point with someone you can get along with so well and love so much is so easy when you have to worry about even just holding their hand in public with the risk of getting verbally or physically attacked by literally anyone around that could be violently homophobic is so easy :3 Like this guy has to be a troll there's no way-
He was already President for 4 years lol he had the first gay cabinet member, ever. And project 2025, first, isn't his campaign; second, says absolutely NOTHING about tracking pregnancies, what on Earth!?!?

Why are straight men so obsessed with gay people, womens rights, and trans rights etc. Can they not just live , inflict and invest in their own life!
Because they think that giving people equal rights is an infringement on theirs, like it’s sharing a pie. They’re afraid of losing the monopoly on power and the status quo changing. It’s gross.
Internalized hate for themselves that they project onto marginalized groups. Also known as punching down. It’s a low ball tactic.
Because they’re in the closet and can’t deal with their own feelings.
I fear they don't really have one...
Not All Straight Men
being gay is NOT easy, im with you Tinx
This guy is so brave. He stood up in front of all these potential listeners without any shame and stood proud of being a complete moron
I still have psychosomatic symptoms from the trauma of being a gay kid. It's incredibly isolating.
Hearing him say we had it easy because we apparently get along better with our male peers??? What???
Where as I got like a severe anger borderline personality disorder from the trauma they put on me
I feel bad for the person who actually speaks like this bigot does around me in person because I've never seen one in person yet
I'll end up in prison
I can absolutely see myself blacking out on someone if they spoke so bigoted and homophobic and misogynistic around me

Being gay is easy?! absurd.
Matthew Shepard would disagree. im so over people erasing queer history just bc there gay ppl all over the TV.
I can write a whole essay on "how hard it is to live as a gay person in this whole world not just in America."
Then don’t do it. It’s a sin.

Oh wow this guy is delusional hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂 I am a gay guy and I get along with girls so much better than guys.
I think he might have some unresolved feelings about it. "It's easier to connect with the same sex" The call is coming from inside the house LOL
Right !!!
Yep
Frrr majority of my friends in high school were girls because I was never comfortable around guys my age.
As a gay man, caller is full delusional, sadly.
no sht
You are such a role model, Tinx. Thanks for being so vulnerable. We love you❤
Sounds more like the caller is deeply frustrated that he can’t communicate with women 🤷🏻♂️ womp womp. Why do all their internal frustrations turn into targeting a minority.
Being a psychopath sounds easy in this country.
Finally cried after holding it in all day and that’s because of you Tinx. There’s power in confrontation and reflection.
