"Don't be a small-minded jerk; doesn't matter if she's gay, she's one of the best, most true-hearted, people I know, and that's all you should care about. See the soul, celebrate the spirit."

A term for when a person is feeling pressured by others into experimenting or admitting they're gay or LGBTQ+ when they never considered it, or perhaps don't even want to be. Usually, towards people who fit a certain stereotype, or from people who become too invested in pride-related politics and forget other people's feelings.
Please don't queer pressure me; I appreciate that you guys will support and love me no matter what, but while this lifestyle may work for you it just isn't what I want for myself.
