A friend reminded me last night about self-esteem & how ironic it is that I mock "pick me gays" on Twtr when in fact I have that vibe on IG.

I used to be one of those "pick me gays" on IG. Why does it matter what Eisenhart tweets? While Twitter drama can often seem unrelated to real life, queer people in small towns and communities lacking LGBT scenes turn to popular gay personalities for a sense of pseudo-friendship. “I had to realize that I had a big enough platform to make things amplified to a huge audience, and I have to be really careful with how I say what I’m thinking.” What It’s Like to Be a Pick Me “I would never discount the fact that being a white gay cis male makes it easier for me to have a larger following,” he says. He says the experience taught him that having tens of thousands of followers comes with responsibility. “I sometimes forget still that I can’t just say whatever I think to that many people. “The criticism I got for the last tweet was super-warranted.

Graeter calls Pick Me Gays “gays who are so interested in assimilating into heterosexual culture that they would throw their own community under the bus.” He adds, “It doesn’t really have so much to do with what they actually believe in, but to align themselves with someone that they think is hot.”įollowing further critique centering himself in a tweet about Arbery’s death, Eisenhart apologized and deleted his account, saying he wanted to preserve his mental health. That’s classic Pick Me behavior, Graeter says: Aycox is placating the bad behavior of only cis white gay men. Coming out never ends and constantly inspires new perspectives. He has quit hiding in the shadows and accepted who he is,” Aycox wrote.įor queer folk who want to take a self-righteously police coming out journey as it happens: take a beat and remember the fear we’ve all shared-of ourselves, of our families and of the world. But, like every LGBTQ member who comes out, he is reborn. He must now live with the decisions he made in his previous life and start anew. “Yes, Schock chose political success over the LGBTQ community, and it cost him dearly. Navy veteran and Mississippi’s first openly gay congressional candidate Michael Aycox wrote an op-ed for Queerty asking LGBTQ people to be kind to Schock. While some queer people were quick to call out as Schock’s hypocrisy, others defended Schock’s coming-out.
