There are many reasons why I end up feeling like #PrideMonth isn't meant for me.
Being demi makes a lot of gay cis male spaces uncomfortable. The way gay men objectify each other tells me a lot about the shitty beliefs a lot of men have towards women.
Stereotypes like, "Oh, you're a bottom? So you must be bad at math." Or even, "Oh, you're a bottom? So you must be lean and feminine-coded."
Or the accusations of catfishing because, if you have boundaries, that means you must logically be a "dom".
These are all things that I've been told at least once by someone over the years while being rejected from other queer folks.
