do gay people only talk about being gay? | Alexis G Zall

- short answer: yes
Why is there homosexuality? & more importantly, do gay people only talk about being gay? It sure seems as soon as a young queer person comes out of the closet, they can't keep their gay mouths from talking all about being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Hey, it even happened to me!

Me at 16: I'm gay but it's just an adjective, just one part of my identity, I'm many things.
Me at 22: Hi my name is gay and I'm a lesbian. Have you watched Wynonna Earp? Should I wear my vans or combat boots with this flannel? Look at this meme i saw on tumblr yesterday. Oh, you want me to watch this new show you like? Does it have lesbians in it?
Vicki Ignaszak actually me
Wynonna Earp was good.
Mood
😂 👌🏼
Big mood
that awkward moment when straight people can talk about their relationships all the time but when you do it’s “shoving it in their faces” and “making everything about your sexuality”
Such an awkward moment 😂
Ive had a friend ask me to "tone down the gay" and then immediately talk about the guys around us and i tried to being up the girl i like and she just gave me a death stare
YEP
Guess that's why most my close friends are of the opposite gender of mine; because my gay is their straight.
@@agignac7833 Dump her, that's not a friend.
This is so relatable it’s uncomfortable for me to watch
Savannah Miller same
T
Same. Even if they’re not so explicit about me not talking gay stuff, it’s just always something there that stops me.
sameeeee it hurts but it’s still entertaining
Same I keep seizing up like how I react when this happens to me
"You talk about straight culture all the time but you just don't notice because you assume your stuff is normal and my stuff is gay." PREACH ALEXIS
i hope alexis and gaby never stop writing scripts together. this is gold material, 13/10 would watch again (and again and again and again)
Amen!
I relate to this so much. I do actually filter out anything my friends might perceive as “gay” from conversation a lot of the time because I’m scared they are going to get annoyed with me. This video has made me realise I need to stop doing that!
Exactly. If they are not willing to also hear what's important to you, then maybe they are not friends with you
OncerPotterPendragon yeah. Described it perfectly 😬
Most people only care when you make "gay" your *whole* identity. People with sense can see that for being what it is. Superficial.
@@hole-sawbear1500 Most of the time people do that when they're young and have only recently started to be comfortable talking about their sexual orientation. I held stuff in for so long because I was in the closet, so there was a period after I came out where I wanted to talk about it all the time because I finally could let it all out and be myself. And even then I noticed a big difference in how comfortable I was expressing affection for the person I was dating and talking about our relationship compared to my straight brother and his girlfriend. I think a lot of straight people also talk about being straight a lot and communicate their sexual orientation to others, it's just assumed to be normal so nobody notices it. When you're straight, you also just get to exist with that assumption about your sexual orientation being right all the time, whereas when you are not straight, you have to actively challenge that assumption for people to see you for who you are. Most young people are also trying on a lot of pieces of their identity and seeing which parts of who they are define them most. For some people it's being really into video games, for some people it's being in a band or performing in theater, and for some people it's something deeper like being a gay person or a person of color. Even though it seems superficial, it's actually an important part of self discovery and figuring out how you want to interact with the world as the most authentic version of yourself. For me, I was just trying to see how this new piece of myself I had been hiding for so long could coexist with the other parts of me-I am also a scientist, an artist, a comedy enthusiast, a basketball player, a math lover, and a Shakespeare nerd. After I came out I could be all those things and also be out and ok with my sexual orientation, and maybe my sexual orientation took the forefront for a while because I was figuring out how to exist as this out, happier version of myself. There are also not always a lot of environments where people feel safe talking about being gay, so maybe if you hear it from someone a lot it's because you're in a friend group where they feel more comfortable talking about that than in their home or school or religious community or whatever. Hope I didn't come of as disrespectful, just thought I'd contribute my two cents as a queer person.

Once i made a closeted joke in a drama performance and everyone was quiet and awkward except for my two gay friends in the background who were dying of laughter
That's legit my relationship with my one gay friend (at school) 😂 everyone else just looks at us like we're crazy
It's true I'm the performance
Oh well my drama club is all gay.
What was the joke?
Milia The Brood Same
Straight = default
Gay = "the gay stuff"
Why is this so relatable? I hate heteronormativity.
same, honey
I’m straight and I think every straight person should watch this video
yes honey. yes
❤️
Most might be too dense to get it.
I am not straight but me too
oh god.... i started to worry half way through the video because it got too relatable
Me when I go home from college and have no gay friends
unrelated but girl you are so adorable! ok that’s all have a nice day
No gay friends or no real friends?
Julia Park this is so relatable omg.
@Skylar Favor Why?
Real friends would not act like in the video, even if they're straight.
I don't have any friends just in general LOL.
as a gay woman who only hang out with gays I can say that YES we only talk about being gay
addicted creator i’m bi but legit everytime i see an attractive woman i can’t stop saying iM GAY
Right? I do talk about other things but I tend to talk about being bi more or debate about the lgbt community as it's what I'm interested in. I don't do it because I'm bi and my family don't see that.
@Security Cam Sam and what should somebody be proud of according to your highness? Enlighten us please
Is that the extent of y’all’s life’s or something, every gay person Im friends with only talks about being gay and it’s like, damn bro that’s crazy, but we don’t remember asking
When you're the only gay in your friendgroup:
i can relate. i dont know ANY gay people RIP
i wasnt expecting this to actually hurt me lmao but it made me think of Countless interactions like this in my life,,, if i put on music and it was a song sung by a woman and it wasnt even gay,, and i was told to "turn off your lesbian shite" and im constantly accused of only liking things "because its gay" and everyone reduces everything i like to being just solely based on sexuality,, i have to justify myself for liking anything and it drives me crazy,, this video like,, really expressed all of that and i wasnt expecting it to hit home like that,,
Tbh i think straight people bring up the fact that i am gay more than i do.
that's real. well mostly with like... inappropriate questions and insinuations.
I really wanted all the lesbian youtubers to walk in and start yelling at them
Hello there, nice name 😂
Anna Gaffney omg imagine rose and rosie shhdkdkskshsjjdd
Alexis makes such relevant topic videos. This ACTUALLY happens. She’s an incredible writer. I hope she gets more popular with her videos. I’ve watched her since she was about 17, and I’m super proud of the person she’s become. I’m sure all of her fans feel the same way. We love you, Alexis!! ❤️
alexis has a talent for perfectly portraying these situations. this was so spot on omggg
I had to finish Rose and Rosie’s video first... but I’m here now!
Omg same
Same :D
This is gay culture
100%
Too true. When I two had study groups. One of the leaders was straight with a boyfriend and one was gay with a girlfriend. The straight one talked about her boyfriend all the time, and it did not even relate to the course. What's our business if your boyfriend went to the football game. Teach us. Then once the gay one referenced her girlfriend had taken the class with her and they both teach the course study group and if we need help we can ask her. Turns out that on an anonymous review someone wrote "talks about her girlfriend all the time. It's a study group not a hang out" but for the straight one they just said "friendly".
WTF??
as a straight person i can verify that we talk about being straight just as much as gay people talk about being gay and both sides of that are fine 😂 talk about what you wanna talk about and surround yourself with people that are open to conversations even if they’re a bit out of their comfort zone.
Ryan Thank you! I feel like if you have friends that do this it’s not because they’re straight, it’s because they aren’t open to all kinds of conversations, or very good friends.
Gaby playing a straight women....never thought I'd see the day 😂😂
Dee Dee yes 😂
i left rose and rosie's video
You made a mistake. You have to watch both duh ahah
Honestly, if you're saying that you're a "gay ally" but you do not accept your friend talking about their gay life then you're not a gay ally
My best friend literally said the exact same thing to me recently... Like I'm not even out for that long and she's already complaining just because I'm gushing over girls... She talks about some guys all the frickin' time like wtf
My friends are the same last week I was telling them about a girl I like. And one of them had the audacity to correct me when I used female pronouns for my crush. All of my other friends said in unison "People are gay Bethany"
random but you are reaally pretty
@@idareu5094 thank you 🤭☺
@@idareu5094 she looks like she cuts herself and hates her life and everyone in it.. she's literally a through back to every 16 year old from 2005 and still uses MySpace because"she's sooooo cool"... Just saying
@@oceanwave3881 :d? okayy
The real tea is that if you ship Veronica and Archie, doesn’t matter gay, straight whoever you are automatically cancelled
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD WRITER!! I adore your ideas Alexis, thank u for sharing your voice, we need u
This is the worst kind of microaggression, so relatable it made me uncomfortable, in other words, 10/10 you've done it again!
I honestly feel the pressure to filter the gay out of my conversations with my friends because I feel like they think it's all I can talk about. But this just made me realize how straight all of their topics are.
i know its not a "serious" video but it made me so uncomfortable cause its so relatable and well made, now i only hang out with the gays and yes everything is about our gayness
Omg straight Gabby is an iconic look😍.
Okay this was so relatable and hilarious oh my god, also I have mixed feelings about Gaby being a bitchy straight girl in this video because I love her lol. This was amazing Alexis, just like all your videos, thanks for posting!
these characters mirror reality so well it infuriates me.
Alexis, you are remarkable at entertainment and everything that comes with it. You are one of the few youtubers that have kept me interested for years and I'm always delighted when you upload. But not only that, I also enjoy every other side of your work that you put out into the world. Your ability to write, direct, act and to create such an interesting podcast are all just incredible. Please never stop 'cause you inspire me to do what I love and to fight for the goals I have in my life.
@@AlexisGZall Yor are welcome! You deserve it.
No? But also sorta. To be fair, straight people shove their sexuality in our face in almost every movie/song/book/video since the beginning sooo revenge?
Boo fucking hoo.
Witness ProPro really dude? Grow up
@@JLongb Maybe you should take you're own advice.
Witness ProPro ... that really doesn’t even make sense? Lol you tried
Well i mean if you want equality, revenge will never achieve that. Thats like if black people decided to enslave white people because you know they did it to us
as a lesbian myself, 1000% relate lmao
I've never click on something so fast in my life.
actually me^
your sketches just keep getting better each time i loved this one aa
Why did "gabrielle" make me so uncomfy.
This video made me uncomfortable... until Alexis called them out. That was... WOW
this is why a wlw friend group is so much easier to talk in 😭👌🏻
I've been literally binging your vids, hoping you'd post! Thanks queen!
Ok that was remarkably good writing!
Ugh this is so relatable I’m actually angry for you 😂
I’m so happy to see a new video from u :,( even if you don’t post all the time I love that when you do it’s worth the wait
Yes!! I’ve been so excited for this all day!! Love you lots Alexis 💕
what even is today!! You liked one of my tweets on twitter, now my comment omg im honored 💜
I wasn't expecting this to hit home so hard. Thank you for making this Alexis.
I loved your perspective on that ! Like I’m gay I talk about gay and straight stuff a lot with friends but I’ve never noticed they did the same with straight stuff all the time! Really loved the vid 👍🏻 glad you’re back 🤘🏻
i love how you make relevant things entertaining and humorous so that it reaches the minds of the ignorant.
you're brilliant.
these videos point out really important things by showing the bad extremes without directly saying the message and its actually super powerful in a really comedic way thank you for creating content like this
yes with the zall dunn content! always the first thing i watch on youtube when available.
Me when I'm in a room full of straight people. Also that feeling of not belonging or relating to anything they say.
i missed you and am glad you're back
God Alexis I love you so much for making this video cuz it's so relatable it ACTUALLY hurts
So happy that Gaby is writing sketches again, we missed those on her channel with Alison. You are a genius writer Gaby please never stop writing 💜💜💜
So damn relatable! I don’t want to feel guilty for bringing up things to do with my sexuality, it’s obviously not my whole identity but after being in the closet you gotta feel comfortable in your own skin at SOME point
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before!
i looooooove the fact that you always support your music friends in the endcard!!!
Well worth the wait, i have never clicked on a video this fast in my life.. the script is sooooooo good I hope your stuff gets picked to be a movie or a tv show.. You are a genius Alexis :)
Lmao this is so relatable and I'm glad I found the rare straight friends that didn't give a shit about me talking about being a lesbian, it's so funny that straight people say that LGBT people connect everything with being LGBT when a lot of straight people talk about how straight stuff all the time.
THIS IS THE MOST RELATABLE CONTENT. Such a struggle 😫😫
So this is my first video of yours that came in my recommendations and god, IT WAS SO GODDAMN RELATABLE I COULD FEEL THE EMBARRASSMENT JUST COARSING THROUGH ME.
Also, you're so goshdarn cute. I'm so glad UA-cam recommended this video! I just subscribed!
Alexis, you've made a thriller. I slwas on edge for the whole of it shouting at the screen so you could magically hear me and confront them. Good job.
I self censure myself in public due to avoiding situations just like this.
Holy shit our world is so heteronormative that I didn't even notice the irony until she said something about it
One of my fav-fam youtubers!!! Has been a while!
we love a sketch-writing legend
alexis uploaded?? lemme happy cry for a second
My friends are supportive of my identity but then if I start talking about a celeb that I admire they go on and on and on about this ‘crush’ as if it’s a novelty. If I mention hot girls they do the same. It’s weird not being able to relate to a lot of the ‘straight talk’ at school, and annoying. If I say anything gay it’s treated as something huge. I know they’re trying to be nice but all I want to do is fit in. :(
Oh and also sometimes they joke around about my ‘future boyfriend’... like... they KNOW I’m gay. It’s pretty annoying, ngl
when the notification u uploaded popped up i had to read it 4 times to make sure my eyes were working correctly
this is so relatable, i love that you showed the side of a queer persons perspective! feels good to be seen and heard, glad ur back 💛💛💛
this is so relatable it's causing me physical pain
I notice I often filter out talking about gay stuff because many people acuse me of only talking about gay stuff or talking about gay stuff "to much" so this video was a very "yep that fricken happens" mood.
this was amazing. thank you so much for creating and sharing. i've experienced stuff like this both from cishet people and others from within the lgbtq+ community, and it's quite disheartening to have to censor yourself for fear ob being "too gay"
The whole time I had this underlying feeling of being angry and anxious at the same time
This is the most relatable thing I have ever watched.
Yasss, u haven't posted in a while. Plus Gaby is in it
👏🌈👏
Thought provoking if not a bit heavy handed with the explanation, but i understand its comedic purpose. I don't always agree but in this context, you bring up a great point. Lovely directing and videography by the way. Props.
Okay this was amazing but Spencer at the end omfg I love him sm 🥺🥺😍😍😭
this WAS amazing. an AMAZING message that NEEDED to be said.
I only told 5 people that I’m gay. People have thought that I was gay for a while now and they would ask me that. They would talk to me like this and ask a whole bunch of questions. They make me uncomfortable to answer their questions. My friends say that I talk about being gay to much but I don’t even talk about it that much. They feels uncomfortable around me like I’m going to like kiss them or something EVEN THOUGH I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!! They make me as uncomfortable as possible to the point where I don’t wanna be gay anymore. Some of the girls would fangirl about guys in my school and I would just walk away. Only two of my friends accept me for being who I am one of them is BI and one of them is my closes friend ever.
It makes me sad to think that they make me so uncomfortable that I don’t wanna be their friend anymore. Some of them would message on the group chat about boys they like and I can’t add to the conversation cause I don’t have any boy crushes.
Sorry if this comment is just really random it’s just I want to let all my anger, pain and sadness out as fast as possible. I hope at least some of you understand what I’m going through I hope you all have a great day, afternoon, evening, night. Stay strong, stay sweet and don’t forget to be awesome. Thanks for reading this -Melody.
YAY you are my favorite, so glad to see a new video from you!!! Also, this is... pretty accurate. :(
Amazing. Please don’t stop! So relatable!
Gaby's straight wig makes me laugh uncontrollably.
This is a masterpiece
THIS WAS GENIUS WE NEEDED THIS
This is gold content! I mean in straight cultire they expect you to take interest in everything they do and all of a sudden i mention something and get a silent reaction regarding it. I feel so validated right now like i am not alone . Thank you
Wow she’s alive
I gay rainbow peaked at 13 and now I forget I'm gay sometimes because life
Omg sweater in the intro!! I love that song!
Was not sure where this was going. Very happy with it. Definitely makes a good point.
i’m bi so I only talk about being gay half the time.
Thank you!
People are so ignorant and hypocritical
ok a) thank you I needed this and b) is that aaron from hannah montana oml
Love that I had to watch an ad about an Church app to watch this video.
The answer is yes
You are an amazing woman and I just want to say this but I love you so much you are my favorite girl crush of all time
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
This is literally the greatest video I have ever seen in my life
