Anyone else find this tone deaf, privileged, dangerous and careless? It is one thing from an average joe, it’s head scratching from someone with her platform.

I am a big fan of Doyle.
This post made me uncomfortable.
I understand her point that ultimately we don't have to justify our life to anyone else.

However, in the context of a lived gay life it's really tone deaf.
From 12 years old until 26 I made a choice for my family to love me. I chose to date boys/men.
I chose to not properly love. To properly have sex. To properly live because that's what homophobia and a society that will punish you for your "born this way."

I’m an average Jane and I really identify with what she’s saying. I’ve never felt that I “can’t help it” or even that I was born this way. It’s just what I want. I get how this is a problematic message, but I appreciate a narrative that isn’t “I can’t help it!/why would I choose this!?” I would choose this.

I got it fixed but the acceleration still feels sluggish even when slamming the acceleration on sport mode. It’s a 2017 Honda Civic turbo and used to have a pretty fun acceleration. Any ideas what could be the culprit or where to look? Things like bad ECU/ messed up turbo/ air leak?

Seeking advice: I’ve been working as an analyst at a PE company for 18months 4 days a week on a part time contract and I feel like they are under paying me. I’m earning 42.2K p.a They want me to go full time as I am graduating however I don’t know what the base salary for an analyst with 18 months experience would be. My friend who works as an analyst (with less experience than me) is earning 70K. Would love to get a sense of what I should be expecting / asking for when I go full time. Thanks!

I love my SO. We’ve been together for nearly a decade and are talking marriage. I know being with him though will require living far from my family.

Hi all! My past role was a pretty toxic environment - extremely unrealistic & ever-changing expectations & condescending behavior & an overall mean & anxiety riddled atmosphere. Any advice on what to ask future companies when interviewing to really dig & uncover any red flags? Getting real feedback & a true sense of things can be difficult bc typically you get back what they want you want to hear. Probing questions that might allow to read btwn the lines & uncover negative atmosphere? Thanks!

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈
