    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

I seriously hope this does not become a trend

I know a lot of young people do things like this hoping to get viral. But doing something like this and make a public spectacle out of it really puts the straight guy on the spot. If he says no, then he would look like an asshole.

I know, the article says he jokingly said before they should go to homecoming together. But jokingly say something doesn't mean he really wanted it.

The gay dude should have asked in private.

It's not wise.

It went ok this time, but it's disrespectful in many ways. The straight guy was asked to put aside his own identity in order to accommodate his gay friend's fantasy. Sure, you can rationalize it away with being for a cause, but it created social pressure on an individual to be a poster boy for a cause or risk becoming a villain.

The public spectacle is akin to the folks who have to make their engagement a big event at something like a pro ball game, or other big venue. So, some folks are egotists. Meh.

To be sure, it is the prerogative of the gay man to decide if he wants to risk his friendship with such a proposal. But, it does send the wrong signal. It perpetuates the image and threat that every gay guy is just hoping to bed his straight friends. That validates homophobia.

Homecoming isn't a platonic event. It's seen as a form of dating by high schoolers. And yes, I realize some kids take it humorously and with a grain of salt, but the public banner thing sure didn't put on pressure.

The Jenny Jones killing wasn't that long ago. We have come a long way since then, but it is not ancient history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Scott_Amedure

Straight dick is really not worth dying for.

I think that is the point. Straight dude was forced to do what society has demanded gay boys do since time immemorial.
 
Or it was the way for the closeted gay quarterback to go to the dance with his boyfriend without anyone giving him a hard time over it.

And it was wrong when gay boys had to do it. It isn't any more right when the tables are turned. Equality is not retribution.

Except that doesn't fit the narrative. The gay boy apparently accepted that the quarterback was straight. Of all things, if he's championing being out and proud, why would he want to escort a closeted gay?

That supposition is just too convenient for me. Gays are a small minority. That is the whole problem that leads to fixations on straights in the first place. They really are straight. We need to stop playing games with that, and certainly not publicly pressure for a date.
 
Funny that you mentioned closeted gays in one paragraph, then bring up 'small minority' in the next.

We have no way of knowing how large or small a minority might be when a significant portion is still in hiding.
 
FWIW; I have attended many functions/events with dates in whom I had no romantic/sexual interest.

Accepting an invitation to such is not a promise of sex. 'No' still works as a 'no' just fine, and no one with any sense assumes that every couple attending will be fucking each other before pumpkin hour.

Duarte’s proposal to Pineda, who is a friend of his, was inspired by Pineda jokingly saying he should bring him to homecoming.

It was the straight guy, Pineda, that was the one that joked about asking his friend to the dance first...Duarte just followed through on it. I'd have to guess that Duarte and Pineda are good enough friends that he knew Pineda wouldn't be offended or embarrassed by this. Pineda didn't really even seem surprised, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was staged...that they intentionally made it hoping to go viral as a message advocating acceptance.
