Hey guys, I wanted to start a respectful conversation here. I’m not looking for a debate, and I’m definitely not trying to attack or insist on anything, I just really want to understand a different perspective. Lately, I’ve been a bit confused about the dynamics between straight men and gay men. Personally, most of my straight guy friends are all good with me and with the community in general. No issues at all, just very chill. But at the same time, I still see or feel a certain level of tension or even “hate” from other straight men towards gay men. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it’s very loud. Could you help me understand this? For the guys here: Is there a specific reason why some men feel uncomfortable or “hate” gay men? Is it a “bro code” thing, or maybe something about how you were raised? To the straight guys who are totally fine with gay friends, what makes you different from those who aren’t? Again, I’m just here to listen and learn. I want to bridge the gap in my understanding. No hate, just pure curiosity. submitted by /u/kenrick____
