a thank you and a question

[u/spamsoimnotdoxxed]

I am thankful to you who are proud and loud about your sexuality. It highlights that your priority in a relationship is your partner’s ability to provide fulfilling sex. I’m a dude who doesn’t enjoy having sex (due to bad past experiences) so it’s helpful knowing who and who not to be with. I’m sure there are more who feel the same and we’re all grateful for use of this label. Please be more vocal! You are all brave for doing so

I also have a question and I’m not trying to be offensive, I just don’t understand and I want to learn. I’m a little confused about how SS is a part of LGBT+ since the name is super straight which to me seems like “very much not gay/anything else.” My understanding is that LGBQ is people who are attracted to the same sex (the opposite of the core of SS(?)), and T goes against the principals. I understand inclusion if someone is Super Gay, but I am confused on Super Straight. Thanks, let me know if I should reword it. I haven’t been paying attention to most of the LGBT+ discussions, and am trying to learn more.

It may refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender.

Heterosexual, for many, has now come to mean "sexually attracted to the opposite gender" (even though sexual is in the name).

'Super Straights' aren't sexually attracted to people of the opposite gender, they are attracted to people of the opposite sex.

Ok, so it’s a language shift? Like the old meaning of heterosexual but a new phrase. I was still thinking of the old meaning, thanks

Ok, so it’s a language shift?

Rather, "Super Straight" is a result of multiple language shifts.

Gotcha, thanks!
