I'm never shocked when anyone comes out of the closet.
#Cute masculine gay men tv
Besides, what do you know about what goes on in in someone else's head? In their private life? Just because you see someone on TV and read about them in magazines doesn't mean you know who they are. Really? Why not? Because they seem so "macho?" Because they're married? They're actors! Is it too much of a leap to think they might be acting off-screen as well as on? They've got a lot riding on your perception of them. "There is no way (insert actor's name here) can be gay!" The truth is, his attitude says a lot about you and how much you really value the gay people in your life.ġ3. But if your guy cringes when a gay man looks at him or thinks gay guys should act more like "straight" men to make themselves more palatable, then he's an asshole and, honestly, you're kind of an asshole for dating him. Some guys have never spent time with an openly gay person and just need to be educated on what gay men are really like. "My boyfriend isn't homophobic, he's just uncomfortable around gay guys." Maybe if you agreed to try on whatever I told you to, no questions asked, and bought me dinner afterwards, I would be more inclined to say yes, but even then you're looking at a hard sell.ġ2. Should I? Even if I liked shopping - which, ironically because I'm a fashion editor, I don't - following you around to a bunch of stores while you try on clothes is not exactly my idea of a dream weekend.
"How do you know you're gay if you've never been with a woman?"ĭid you need to experiment with women to know you were straight? What about porcupines? How do you know you wouldn't enjoy sex with a porcupine if you don't at least try it? I know you're trying to connect with me, but what does that even mean? Does that make me a straight woman trapped inside a gay man's body? Trust me, there's a lot more to being gay than enjoying nice clothes and hooking up with dudes.Ĥ. "I'm like a gay man trapped inside a woman's body."
Don't get me wrong, I love a freakum-dress-wearing, binge-drinking, big-hair-don't-care wild child as much as the next guy, but there's something a little scary about a woman who thinks of herself as the gay equivalent of catnip.ģ. The girls who say this sort of thing are usually hot messes.
You know that stereotype about gay men having impossibly high standards? It's not completely wrong. And let's be real, your friend is probably not actually that cute. You literally know nothing about me except that I'm gay. And if you really want to be friends, I would appreciate it if you never said any of the following:ġ. But even if I'm a little stereotypical, I'm not just a stereotype churned out of the factory of Sex and the City's tokenism. I know you're just trying to connect with me.
