I’m gay, but I’m just a normal guy too. I shop at H&M, listen to Katy Perry, do drag, and actually know what gingham is. Fabulous is what I do best! As far as I’m considered there is nothing gay about any of these things but after reading your column last week, I began to ask a lot of questions. The gayest thing in the world is banging another man, so why do so many homos have issues with with “gayness”?
Maybe it’s just my alternative-Canadian-social-justice-queer-upbringing talking but I’m tired of homo-on-homo hate. I was once berated by an ex for sporting fuchsia hair for pride cause it was “too gay.” Why are gay men afraid of gayness? Why can’t we all just “flame on”?

My response after the jump…

Maybe gays who hate gays—or gays who hate gays who are “too gay”—aren’t afraid of gayness. Maybe they’re afraid of straightness…
Man I was actually hoping for an insightful thoughtful response. 🙁
Maybe everybody should stop worrying what’s straight and what’s gay and just fucking be yourselves!
being fabulous isn’t being gay its being a stereotype. if all you are into is whats popular amongst high school girls that’s not being gay either that’s you being a statistic of someones marketing campaign. get it?
So yeah: Don’t Be A Fucking Stereotype.
Y’know, unless you’re into that. In which case, fine -but don’t expect the rest of us not to give you shit for your lack of imagination.
Insightful post from Dan Savage is insightful.
