Reading that made me so glad I only date queer people. Straight people have the weirdest rules.

    Reading that made me so glad I only date queer people.

I have definitely witnessed (and am vaguely envious of) the loose, wonderful atmosphere of the gay hookup scene around various places I've lived.

I'm not even into that, I'm poly but I almost never just hook up with someone. It's just really nice that it's nearly impossible for potential partners to make absurd gendered assumptions about my behavior like those described in the article. My relationships end up built on actual, deliberate discovery of what each of us want rather than the lowest common denominator of stereotypes.
