I'm gay, and I laughed. I think it's now fairly widely understood that not all gay men are into fashion---and not all lesbians dress like awkwardpenguin 's partner (including me!).
Totally off topic, but what DOES drive me nuts is when someone says something like, "oh I should introduce you to this other lesbian I know" based solely on our shared sexual orientation. Like, do you feel like you have tons in common with every other straight person you encounter?? So weird.
It wasn't once understood that not all gay men are into fashion because it is biologically unnatural
It mildly bothers me when people find out I am gay and are all "oh my brother in law is gay too!" or similar. Or when I told my brother (years ago) and he asked if I heard his friend's little sister was rumored to be a lesbian. She is 9 years younger than me, not to mentioned I had moved away from home several years prior to this conversation. what did he expect? "uh, yeah, I got the postcard all the gays get"?
I got my 2013 directory on Monday; I'm sure yours will arrive soon.
OMG, I can't believe she put one of her boys in a Spiderman costume. That Spiderman's suit is so tight and revealing in the crotch, it is clearly intended to turn innocent men gay.
Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. Gays are people. They aren't all fabulous, well-dressed, Tim Gunn-quoting, glitter-loving sassy little things who want to help you get dressed up for your fabulous nights together of drinking fruitinis and dancing to Carly Rae songs. Like straight people, they aren't all the same and I find it kind of insulting to think that they all must be fashionable or whatever? (Related: I also hate when women treat them like tokens, which is super common.)
I am having trouble thinking of a gay friend who has any interest in women's clothing or makeup. So I'm stuck dressing myself. Maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong gays?
people, it was a JOKE.
And out of my gay guy friends, I'd say 50% have awesome fashion taste, and 50% do not.
Pretty sure if we're being sarcastic about turning our kids gay by sprinkling them with glitter, we're also being sarcastic about them automatically being uber-fabulous makeup and fashion consultants.
For the record, DW dresses pretty well, but ordered Frye boots from a Duluth catalog that came in my name. (I don't know what I did to get that catalog, I swear!) So now we get hers and hers Duluth catalogs in the mail. Cracks us up every time.
And I thought Megan McCain was gay. Not that I care either way.
And Iran has gay people. Most of them become refugees in other countries.
Of course there are gays in Iran. The reason I said that was because Ahmendinijad (their president, probably spelled wrong) said that they didn't have gays and "that phenomenon" in Iran while speaking at the UN.
