I'm more or less an openly gay male. When I'm dating someone seriously, I always hold hands in public, and with one of my past partners, we would make out on one of the university shuttles in front of other students.
However, I often feel a general animosity towards almost all gay males. The only gay friends I have are former/current partners.
I think it's because I may see things in white/black. If someone doesn't reciprocate my feelings, then for all purposes they don't exist. But, I also have a hard time making friends in general. So this probably makes it 100000 times harder to make a platonic gay friend who I also find attractive.
On the other hand, I'm totally fine with gay people who I am not attracted to. They don't bother me and I have an easier time being friendly with them.
So, I'm trying to think what category I would fall into. Are there openly gay men who also have an animosity to most other gay men (any famous examples ? ). I know there are such things as closeted homophobes and such.
But I'm not closeted by any means, or ashamed of my sexuality (e.g. my pretty bold PDA), and I like to believe I'm LGBT rights friendly / supportive.
Does this make me a gay male misogynist?
