@Lemuriano16180 @JoeGayHistorian @scruffapp Yep. Can gay men not just have their own spaces anymore?

@JoeGayHistorian @mrmatt2424 @scruffapp Seen it on Grindr too😪

Hey, @scruffapp, why the hell do you think this is an appropriate ad to be showing your users, who are gay men?

@ItsTheDumbAges @GR4NTH4M Exactly. And why are some people still surprised that a small minority of women can superficially pass as men, with the right combination of drugs, surgeries, and filters? Gay men don't want women who fairly pass as men. They want men. Actual men.

@GR4NTH4M "Wes" is a woman so why would/should a gay man be interested in her?

I may be bi/pan but this is when I have to agree with people who say gay men who won’t sleep with or date trans men are just transphobic (particularly if you’re a top) bc wtf do you mean you wouldn’t hit that, like hello??

@Revolution_Eyez @cinnamonmaxxing @nathan12278702 @wowwowza @monkieboy99 @JackxJewell No, it's not healthcare. And it's an affront to gay men in a gay men's space. @scruffapp needs to stop accepting ads like this and apologize to its users.

@cinnamonmaxxing @nathan12278702 @wowwowza @monkieboy99 @JackxJewell This is corporate marketing, and corrupt medical doctors taking advantage of emotionally unstable populations for profit. This is not healthcare.

It very much matters.

@monkieboy99 @scruffapp Yep. Homophobia in an app created for gay men.

@mrmatt2424 @scruffapp Homophobia disguised as acceptance. We've come full circle from the right-wing Republicans' conversion therapy.

@mushycrouton @jammach We gay people can keep ourselves safe on our own. We don't need any supposed help from TQ2SIAA+ to do that.

@jammach LGBTQIA+ not LGB. Divide and conquer won’t keep gay people safe.

Things I care deeply about: My partner. My family. My friends, my work, LGB equality and rights, Women’s equality, safety and rights. Things I do not care about: The Labour Party. The Green Party Things I really really do not care about: Keir Starmers fecking feelings.

@gay_lumberjack @R10006Ron @scruffapp Perhaps, but why show a (presumably trans) female? And it is a transgender surgical center, per their website and the ad description in my notifications.

@mrmatt2424 @R10006Ron @scruffapp Maybe they mean face lifts?

And to be clear, this is an ad targeting gay men for trans surgery. Pretty big betrayal to gay men, @scruffapp.

@JoeGayHistorian @scruffapp Yes, it genuinely floors me and enrages me. To be shown this in an app for men. Nevermind the 30 gender identities and pronoun options in there now, including she/her/cis woman. It's such a betrayal.

@mrmatt2424 @scruffapp Apps created for gay men are now promoting conversion surgery. It’s genuinely evil.

@JackLWalsh @GR4NTH4M He's giving very insecure bisexual vibes. A vagina is not something any beautiful man has. I guess we're just so 30+ and old-fashioned for having the slightest amount of common sense.

@GR4NTH4M Don’t try to be condescending. You’re not good at it 😂 I’ll reiterate, my position is clear. Homosexuality is attraction to members of the same sex. I’ve explained why reducing female anatomy to “one extra hole” destroys the concept of human sexuality. Now care to respond?

@GR4NTH4M So you're bisexual. Good for you.

It’s fully just my opinion, but I just feel like if you wouldn’t fuck the most beautiful specimen of a man you’ve ever seen for the sole reason bc he’s got one extra hole like… it’s giving you’re 30+ years old and still order chicken tendies at every restaurant

@gynemimesis Nobody intelligent ever said gay sexuality is male heterosexuality on steroids.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would gays be into older men? If homosexuality is supposed to be "straight behavior but on steroids," we would expect them to be more into youthfulness

@alanocu @JoeGayHistorian It makes a mockery of what gay liberation was originally about.

I guess I don't understand what men dressed in dog costume has to do with gay pride. Pride should be about Stonewall and the riots and how they stood up against the long arm of the law.

@melhael Me too. But getting in a scorching hot car in business casual and then going into the office sweaty is a nightmare.

If I can dress like this, I’m perfectly fine with the heat.

@FreyaAndHerCats You talk about the gay "community." There is no one gay community. The country is filled with several million gay men who are each their own individuals.

We all know the gay male community has a notably high tolerance for public sexual degeneracy. It’s not hidden—it’s celebrated. Exhibit A: The Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. This isn’t a generic Pride parade. It’s an annual kink, leather, and BDSM street festival featuring open nudity, public sex acts, bondage demos, and extreme fetish displays in broad daylight.11 And now, Minneapolis is moving to reopen bathhouses—venues explicitly for anonymous, on-site sex—after a 38-year ban. So here’s my straightforward deal to gay men: You want to prioritize and normalize that level of public, hedonistic sexual expression? Fine. Consenting adults can pursue bathhouses, Folsom-style events, and the associated subculture in appropriate venues. Live and let live. But in exchange, you give up any claim to adopting, fostering, using surrogacy, or otherwise raising children. Any community that puts public sex fairs and bathhouse culture at the center of its identity shouldn’t get access to kids. Full stop. This isn’t about lesbians—they’re not driving the bathhouse or Folsom scene. This is specifically about gay male priorities and trade-offs. Prioritizing intense adult sexual freedom is one thing. Extending that to custody of children is another. They’re incompatible with the stability and environment most people want for kids. Deal?

@ThatOtherJJ @CandlestickWill Good for them. If they don't want to wear a political/religious symbol, they shouldn't have to.

@CandlestickWill Or… now stay with me here… just let them live their lives. They owe you nothing.

Fuck these bigoted fucks

@HumanGayMale Yes, I agree. It only makes sense when you have a very simplistic view of cause and effect and have bought into the idea of 2SLGBTQIAA+.

It's always fascinating when TRAs say " you'll be next", as this is a compelling argument to make gay people fall in line. Do they really believe homophobic people will be less inclined to be homophobic if gay people champion gender identity ideology and the harms it brings?

A smile cause it was a good push day

@thedarkhorsepod @HeatherEHeying I think group victim mentalities just die hard. But also, many of us still do grow up in incredibly homophobic religions or cultures, even though legally we might be on par these days.

After watching the viral LA men's choir video, Heather Heying has a simple question: What are they not going to take? @HeatherEHeying genuinely wants to know -- "I'm not trying to be mean. I don't feel like it's a mean question. I actually really, truly wonder what it is that they think they don't yet have that they want."

@ThomasWillett9 "qualified expert" = "agrees with Thomas"

What’s more terrifying is people like Julia who will happily spread misinformation about trans people, rather than listen to qualified experts.
