I've got to say, this video has really helped me with my sexuality. I knew that I was sexually and romantically attracted to multiple genders but I simply don't act like what is expected of people of the bisexual orientation. I just act like a normal straight guy and really had a hard time understanding if i was actually bisexual. Thanks again!

We just had a discussion about queer/ pride stuff vs. "gender role normative" LGBT people at a Finnish forum. There's a lot of LGBT people, who do not stand out from the common population, lot of gays & transgenders who don't feel the festival nature at pride parade was for them and you couldn't tell from their appearance that they're gay or transgender. Of course pride parades are best known from the "extremes" like bikini gays, but if you look at pride parade as a whole, majority of people there dress up pretty moderate / "normal" way. Like, common everyday shirts and shorts, and maybe just a rainbow scarf or flag or something added at the parade. Well, that's at least how it's here in Finland ;) So, it's wrong to assume that every bisexual is "queer", but it's as wrong to assume every gay or transgender is "queer". Not every gay or trans like drag shows etc. Gay is not "the queer end of sexual orientation scale", transgender is not "the queer end of the gender identity scale". Not sure if I just got you wrong tho ^^'

Hi & thank you for the reply! Could you send a link to that study (I meant to say this way before, but I appreciate your use of studies in base of your videos!)? If the number is 75% of gay men, that indeed is a significant number. I don't know if it's "natural" for gay men to tend to be more queer, or if it's a result of certain gay culture that have become rather visible and "absorbs" more and more people in. Like, if you were excepted to behave one way, you're more likely going to behave that way (self-executing circle). Either way, I think we still should keep in mind that also gay population is more than just queer culture. In the Finnish forum there was discussion against and for queer culture. Some people saw it indeed in negative light, the "queer minority" labeling the rest of the LGBT to be attention seekers. While others thought that they caused no harm and had right to "have their fun" while we have our right to not to take part in and keep sexuality a more personal (invisible) thing. Some also pointed out that even those with the wildest dresses at pride don't wear that way all the year around. So they indeed go to the pride to have fun, to break norms and over-exaggerate themselves in carnival style while living the rest 364 days of the year "normal" life. So I get those who are against it, as well as those who aren't. I can't choose a side in this issue :D

I can relate to what you're describing. Pride here in Ottawa, Canada is a relatively tame affair. Yes, we have the occasional flamboyant individual or float but the majority of the folks who show up are just in everyday clothing, often with a rainbow t-shirt/flag/scarf/whatever or a bit of celebratory makeup (rainbow hair/beard, a little flag painted on a cheek or something). Basically, while the people in the city tend to be rather progressive and open-minded, they are also low-key. We don't really do huge displays of flamboyance but we do get major political figures showing up for Pride (the PM and a good chunk of the military's top brass participated). There's a drag show on in the evening if that's your thing but that isn't what gets the big numbers (the parade does). Montreal and Toronto are bigger and have larger events with more visible flamboyance. You can see a more vibrant counter-culture in the larger cities and Pride's their chance to shine I guess. Outside the large queer communities in the 3 bigger cities, well, Canadians tend to be progressive but a bit reserved in person (hell, most of the LGBT+ folks in the 3 big cities are too). Nordic folks tend to make a lot of sense to us so I'm not surprised Finland does Pride in a way that sounds totally comfortable.

Bisexuality is Queer, Queerness is not uniform, it sounds like what you're describing is just a difference in connectedness with the Queer community.

I consider myself to be not queer but queer adjacent. I'm on both the autism and bisexual directions. I'm also very comfortable with the gender norms expected of me. I'm more comfortable in queer spaces because I find queer people are more accepting and less ableist than straight culture.

i don't see why there's anything wrong with that. if people are enjoying something that they missed out on when they were younger then good for them
