> meanwhile, gay men see traumatized men and try to claim them. There’s a misunderstanding that men who got picked on in school are ripe for gay conversion.

Chiming in to drop the anti-anecdote, I have literally never experienced this to be the case, I don't know a single gay person interested in "converting" others.

In my experience gay men know what dating or sleeping with a "traumatized man" is like because a lot of closeted men are like that, we do not seek to claim that at all.

I got no hate. I would protect the queer community if it ever came down to it.

Then the operative word is probably "man" and the gay isn't doing much to modify it, this is the average woman's experience with heterosexual men.
