I wonder why gays are easily offended

[Olddaddy]

One thing when I was in Pattaya I also went to the straight bars a lot and got to the know the owners and regular customers especially in Soi Bukhao 

I could have a laugh at their "poofter" jokes and squatting jokes ,  and I found these blokes great sense of humour 😂and I even met other gay guys there who were straight 

Anyway Off to Jomtien complex at night and the customers there are the most miserable old bastards I have ever met ! Faces like lemons ,sitting there at a table alone with a sour face 🍋

They  rarely talk to each other unlike the straight bars 

They should be knitting 🧶🧵with their legs crossed over the miserable old ...(.insert)

I was sitting out the front of a bar in Jomtien complex last week when three cute young farang guys walked past 👦👨👱‍♂️

They stopped " I think you have to be gay to go in ?" said the blonde Justin Beiber lookalike to his friends 

"No I shouted ,"you don't have to be a poof to get in here !!

A old miserable old purple 🟣 spectacle🥸🤓 wearing customer sitting nearby heard me say it 

"Ohhhh ohhhhh " 😮😮😮😮he moans "ohhhh ohhhh your a horrid man he shouts pointing at me " how dare you call us poofters !

You horrid wicked man !!

Ohhhh ohhhhh he moans ,a horrid man !!!

Actually the owner of the bar was laughing at hearing it 😁

Anyway On hearing this,the three boys scampered 

No wonder most of us not accepted by the straight community when you take your personal life like everyone must accept it 

No one owes you anything 

Now keep bending over forwards and taking it like a man

If I may change direction just a tad and speak about our Thai friends....

One thing they don't seem to respond to is  teasing, even when it is gentle and affectionate. Teasing is something that I have been used to all my life, perhaps because I was the youngest (and best looking) of three. OK, I made that last bit up.

Here in Thailand I've seen abject failures in attempted teasing by falang visitors and expats, well-meant but utterly bemusing to Thais. At least those on the scene.  Is it cultural? linguistic? I don't know. When I've gently  teased younger folk at home, those I know well of course,  they've usually responded with a smile. Some of the smarter would tease back.

But tease a Thai? I'd never do this; Thais just don't seem to "get it" and appreciate the affection behind it.

For some years I went to bars to Sundays with a long time friend. He seemed to love teasig the boys, most of whom hadn't a clue what he was saying and some were certainly uncomfortable. I tied so many times to get him to stop, but it must have been ingrained in his DNA.

I would on my scant anecdotal evidence say it's societal, as reactions from Laotian, Cambodian or Vietnamese boys and girls is they get it and follow along; caveat being language skills. Maybe something to do with being former French Colonies or a Protectorate.

You may be right; English humour can be pretty brutal, even as far back to the time of Chaucer. Perhaps the "softer" culture of Buddhism is at play here.  I recall my partner being cross with me when I made a remark to him about the appearance of a guy in a bar. I thought it was witty; he didn't.
