Cis straight male white (CSMW) friend: Did you know, there’s “gay white male privilege” now? I didn’t know that
Me: It’s been here forever. It’s called Intersectionality
CSMW friend: Next they will be coming for you, “gay Asian male privilege”.
Me: It’s already a thing. Literally, just Google Intersectionality
CSMW friend: I’m so blessed
Me: Yep, the ability to indulge in ignorance is a privilege
White guy online slips into my DM: Hey, I’m a professional comedian. I see that you are a local photographer
Me: Nice to chat with you
White guy: So, where are you from?
Me: Canada. I’m Canadian.
White guy: Really though, where are you really from?
Me: Are you really asking?
White guy: Relax, it’s a bit. Have a sense of humor
Me: Maybe you should drop the professional before your comedian title.

White old man slips into my DM: You’re a delicious young man.

Asian friend(s): So, you’re with a white guy, you must really like white men right?
(Gorgeous gym bunny) Men who post inspirational stories on Instagram about “overcoming the odd” (usually of being fat or “undesirable”) who I know for a fact in real life that is so rude to other queer women, people with disability, and “fat” people.
Gorgeous men of colors who post inspirational stories on Instagram about “overcoming the odd” (usually of being fat or “undesirable”) who only date other gorgeous white men.
I don’t talk about these often (Well, at all). But lately, it’s been bothering me. I mean, the only thing that bothers me more than white men being racist in the queer community is men of color being racist in the queer community. Yes, I said “Men” – and I mean it.
I guess I’m really never “over” it. The formative years in Singapore, in California, and continuously with the conservative (i.e. racist) gay community in Calgary, it’s just…
Controversial opinion, I know. At least I’m honest about it
So shove your inspirational Instagram story up your ass
