Big nerd. Passionate about cultivating community. DM me what you like/dislike about Collective ❤️

“gay people can’t be friends, we only want to hook up” I hear this all the time and I’ve been trying to figure out why it bothers me so much. It makes me upset and angry. Obviously, I don’t agree and most of my closest bonds are platonic queer friends. They're like family to me. These types of connections are so important and it saddens me that many of us believe our community is only capable of connecting through sex. Sexuality is at the core of what unites our community, but it doesn't mean that sex is the only way we are capable of connecting. I wonder if this is the result of the limited options we have to meet each other: if our only access to gay people is Grindr, clubs, raves, etc, spaces that are hyper-sexualised and transactional, I can see how it might feel this way…
