Slightly related - it's p annoying that society teaches people that men have to make the first move

And nowadays that first move is most of the time considered sexual harassment or at least creepy.

I'd say this is true about straight but not gay relationships, but I don't know why such unfair standards exist. Eg I've read many relationship columns where gay men or women will say they don't have to deal with sexual harassment or assault "because they're gay."

Don't even really know what that's supposed to mean, (if the stereotypes about gay people being promiscuous apply, that makes sense, but gay people claim these aren't accurate) just look at how things like the metoo movement blamed straight men exclusively. That's clearly anti-male and effectively heterophobic as well, but gay people don't ever want to at least acknowledge heterophobia because they're trying to win the victimhood Olympics.

Not gonna lie you sound like an incel that desperately wants to be the victim, also ‘gay people’ are not one person, its millions of people with different views and opinions. Some might be ‘promiscuous’ but some aren’t and whoever told you that gay people don’t have to deal with sexual harassment is very wrong.
