Idek why I'm surprised at how negative the reactions are to Caleb's coming out post (from Beartooth). It's not one or two clowns in the comments, it's the majority of comments on most Instagram posts.

It makes obvious what I already knew as a gay man who grew up on this music: we are unwelcome. I'll take my boyfriend with me to shows and I feel like I have to pretend that we are fuckin homies bc if I do anything to indicate that we're dating (lean on him, flirt, whatever) I get dirty looks from people in the crowd. Dudes will be screaming their heavy songs ala "fuck religion" or "we're all brainwashed" but have no issue calling me a f*ggot in the next breath.

It's perhaps even more frustrating that in gay spaces, I almost never run into others into this genre. Gays are into pop/EDM/indie because those songs and fanbases don't shit on them constantly. I'm sure some women have a similar experience too....metal dudes worship masculinity more than gays do I stg.

Also, fuck everyone saying "how could he lie to his wife for so long he's terrible". Bitch. You try coming to terms with being gay. It's not a cake walk.
