Random but real question for the LGBTQ+ crew — have you ever been super gay (or lesbian) but found yourself doing very straight things? Like… dating the opposite gender, flirting for tips, pretending to have a husband/wife for work stuff, or even just going along with straight vibes for survival or the check?
I mean:
Have you ever been “straight for pay” (no judgment, get that bag 💼💅

?
Ever played the part because your clients/coworkers/family just assume you’re straight and it’s easier not to correct them?
Ever found yourself thinking, “Hmm… I love who I love, but this mortgage ain't gonna pay itself”? 😂
Do you think anyone low-key stays in the closet (or straight-passing) for the money, comfort, or career? (I do, I have)
Just curious how others have danced this line. No shade, no pressure — just vibes, money talk, and a sprinkle of identity crisis. 🌈✨
Spill the tea if you're comfortable! I know I can’t be the only one wondering…
