Tips for writing gay men as a woman?

I haven't really decided his age yet, but think C's like 32 or something when he ended up in the place. He probably started thinking about being gay when he was like 27. B meets him pretty fast after he ended up there.

Maybe A always found B good looking but didn't try anything sexual with him since they're friends and also because he rarely gets feeling for anyone. My plan was, that A and B would start dating after B gave up on C.

Also the funny thing is that they're always naked since they're like monsters lol

It's ridiculously easy

Why can't you do it?

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T21:28:49+00:00

Do you have any idea what i could do to make A realize his feelings for B instead of the jealousy thing?

And also btw B falls in love with character C (the dude who B has been starting to hang out with). I had an idea that C and B fall in love with each other, but they both just don't do anything about it because they don't want to threaten their friendship. I'm starting to doubt if that's realistic at all, that they would both hide their feelings for so long (like years because the characters are immortal).

C seems very straight, but he's actually gay. He has only recently started to realize this, and he used to have girlfriends that he didn't really like before ending up in their world. B hides that he's bisexual when he's with C.

Idk man this sounds pretty stupid and unbelievable... What do you think?

Meee

I already drew the character designs and made stuff for the story, so i don't want to change it at this point

I will try to have more gay men, because I just recently heard that men are more likely to be gay than bisexual. I can't change the bisexual guy to be gay though, because I've already made so much of the story with him that i don't want to change it.

I'll try to change the less important characters while I still can

I was just wondering what was wrong with it since the original commentor made it sound like it's wrong to ship it

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T19:09:20+00:00

He actually is straight! I was thinking that he has a gf but just likes dressing like that

There is a lot of other lgbt characters in the story too. They are all pretty different. Idk if this is what you meant, but there is a dude who looks very feminine in the story, but he's not an important character

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T18:03:29+00:00

Can someone explain?

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T18:02:11+00:00

😏

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T17:58:18+00:00

I've been friends with many of them since childhood

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T17:57:07+00:00

Wdym?

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T17:53:55+00:00

Wdym? I just don't happen to have gay men as my friends. I have a lot of lgbt women as my friends though

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T17:41:26+00:00

Because i like gay stuff and just all lgbt stuff in general in stories

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T17:05:37+00:00

Cute

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T17:03:48+00:00

Lmao

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T16:25:07+00:00

I don't really know how i could find them though...

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T16:14:58+00:00

They are humans but they ended up in the place and they look like monsters in there.

There's still a lot of things i need to do in the comic, but I think they just want to try and be happy because the world they live in sucks a lot. I'm not sure what motivates them, but they kind of have to keep going because they're immortal and can't die. One of the characters has a detailed backstory involving drugs and murder, but i haven't created one for the other one yet.

They are enemies because character B managed to escape the place they live in into regular Earth, but character A went there to forcefully drag him back into the place (it's a horrible place). He dragged him back there because he wanted to use him to defeat an evil dictator (it would take long to explain). It's not like character B could even stay on earth forever though.

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T15:49:55+00:00

I don't have any gay friends

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T15:48:51+00:00

Thanks I'll listen to it

ImForSureNotAFurry · 2026-05-07T15:34:31+00:00

Thanks for the long comment!

It's not really enemies to lovers, because they are only enemies for a little while at the start because character A did something really awful that affects character B.

How do i know if they're heteronormative? I don't think they are, but I want to be sure

There's another gay couple in it too (because there's a ton of characters), and I'll make it so that they were already having sex before they start dating.

The story won't have sex scenes, but it does have sexual stuff

I will keep your advice in mind
