We have gay questions, and Grindr has gay answers. That’s why we’ve decided to save ourselves a fortune on therapy and turn instead to the world’s most popular gay hookup app for guidance.

This week, we asked members to weigh in on their least favorite aspects of gay culture. Their choices will shock you to the core and leave you reeling, or something.
And now it’s over to you. So: What’s your least favorite aspects of gay culture? Weigh in in the comments below.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

The closet. Excluded are kids who are dependent on family for survival, and places where homosexuality is illegal/punishable, or worse.
HaguePeter
Treating men as a piece of meat and thinking everybody has to accept slutty ways of living .. Beeing gay means that you as man like men (or 1 man), not that you are promiscuous.
TinoTurner
Grindr is the worst thing about gay culture.

For me it would be gay men who are in their mid to late forties in the gym trying to work out like they are still in their twenties and hoping they can pass for thirty-seven or thirty eight to get a shot at the late teen or early twenty-something twink.

There’s a gay culture?
NotoriousQueer
The superficiality and ageism
IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou
Whiny millennials and even whinier black and asians that think everyone owes them something including sex.
Baba Booey Fafa Fooey
The closet.

vanity/superficialty

For me it’s that so many younger guys seem to think that people are just disposable things. They use you up and then just ignore you or ghost you, no explanation, no nothing.

Just one aspect? Impossible. The superiority complexes, self-righteousness and entitlement. Gays will find any little way to turn their noses up at other gays. The out and proud feel completely entitled to bash the closeted. Guys of some races are always eager to try and make guys of other races feel like they’re worthless to the community. Masculine vs fem. Neg vs poz. Old vs young. Fat vs fit. etc., etc., ETC. I’ve always said the biggest homophobes are WITHIN the community.

Masc4Masc. Enough of that fake nonsense. These so called “masc” dudes trying to be so masculine. Apparently not masculine enough for each other.
Gay republicans. Unwanted and disliked. Especially now.
Those are the two big ones for me.

@Bob LaBlah: I’m not sure I get what you’re saying. Are you saying guys in their 40s shouldn’t bother going to a gym? Anyway, how do you know THAT is the reason they’re going? And even if that’s the reason, so what? A lot of young guys nowadays are pretty screwed up with this ridiculous “daddy” fetish, so why not take advantage? Personally not my thing, but what’s so bad about it?

@TinoTurner: I’m glad at least one person sees the irony of asking Grindr (!!!) what is the worst aspect of gay culture.
And notice that one guy replies by saying “Pic?” LOL.

apps parading as culture…
Mo Bro
The arrogant and ignorant notion that all gay men and women are assumed to be card-carrying liberals, and the proclamation that those of us who aren’t are “the enemy.”
Billy Budd
The fact that a gay man, part of a minority, can be a disgusting conservative creature AND the superficiality. We seem to forget that a good part of the most important geniuses in human history were gay. Michelangelo, Leonardo, Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, Socrates and Plato, Alexander The Great and so many others.
ChrisK
The arrogant and ignorant notation of the Uncle Tom Qu*ers desperate for their conservative friends and families approval by consistently bashing other Qu*ers with ridiculous accusations of liberal (like that’s such a bad thing) and being uptight judgmental pr*cks so maybe they won’t notice they still love c*ck.

@Mo Bro: I don’t care for sell outs. Not only are you selling out your fellow gay people, but you are for the entire country by supporting someone as despicable and hated as Trump.
Oh and there are many moderates and even conservatives who don’t support that disgusting man.
You just want approval and you aren’t getting it. I don’t care if you are straight or gay. If your views harm others and this country, you get a thumbs down.
@ChrisK: Exactly. These same conservative gays are upset they aren’t welcomed by other conservatives either. Always the victim.
GC1985
@Mo Bro: So sorry for that sellout comment. I just get so emotional when I’m off my meds. I’m just a miserable, unemployed c*nt whose only joy comes from bitching at random users on Queerty.

@GC1985: >>> fake pedophile account alert!!!!

I had to change my nickname as this fake fraud is an issue. Not amusing. Boring rather. Try again.
Thud Hardbutt
@NotoriousQueer: Here Here! The superficiality is my biggest gripe! We have a significant part of our community that have the depth of a puddle of spit who seem content on making other feel insignificant or just “Totes ratchet!”

@GC1985: You’re an annoying imposter. Stop quoting me please.

The post from 3:18pm is from a well known ch@troom troll and alleged pedophile.
One day he will get what is coming to him.
Gian85
The post from 3:29pm is an angry, broken, broke loser and a confirmed loon.
One day he will get a job and life…maybe.

@IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou: I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Us blacks and other minorities don’t want anything from the likes of people like you. What an ignorant comment.
