Is He Gay or Is He Straight?
I wanted to correct some information you put in your article Bradley was the only one with the blow dryer and he has not been voted off for being gay yet nor is he fem. AS for stereotypes, this show is hard for someone like me to decide who is gay and who isn’t. The straight guys who have been voted off by Jackie so far come off more fem then the gay guys. I think Fox is trying to let us know its not so easy to pick who is gay and who is str8 anymore in our metrosexual world. None of the guys are ugly or str8 looking all groomed and well picked to be the un-fem variety. They want you to be shocked when your pick wasn't quite right. For a gay man we want to be like everyone else so this shows what could happen we fit in to well to the crowd. - powline99
Dear Brian, This article is the reality, you can't make out if he gay or straight, but gay or bi sexual some how have a sign for one an other wen they meet, you don't have to say anything you just know it. - Cello03
I think this is going to be a very good programme. Let me know more on this. - aubrey_g
Once again, Brian needs to watch his wording. He says "The more gays INVADE the mainstream..." That makes it sound threatening, and Brian knows it. Perhaps it takes a better writer than you, Brian, to spot these little things. Consider them spotted. You're not really gay, Brian. Cut out the (not-so) carefully hidden gay bashing remarks and negativity about gays in today's society. - BigGuy4FitGuy
It is hard to tell a homosexual from a heterosexual man in today's society. I am 55 and was married for 26 years with 3 beautiful daughters. My ex-wife and I were recently divorced in Dec. 2003. She has no idea that I have been with men. I love to give anal and receive oral from men. The men that see are "jock" in nature and come to my office for fun and frolic. No one in the community would ever suspect. I do have a female lover that I see on occasion, but I am stuck. I have been with a few men during the last few years of my marriage, and I also had a couple of affairs with women. The men that "play" with have girlfriends or wives, but no one knows because they are not fully out of the closet. Being of a Spanish decent, I don't want my friends knowing this side of me. My female lover once said that I was cute. I retorted that men are suppose to be rugged, tough, and solid. It really bothered me because I equate cute with the men who are very "feminine" in nature. I am NOT. - aldaman4u2
I think this show would catch the attention of the TV viewers in that in this show they would know more about the versatility of being homosexual. Homosexuality can be anything they wanted to be, and that is the greatest magic of being homosexual. And also this program would prove to the world that a world without homosexuals is dead, that we are the light and life of the world. – silver surfer
According to Trey Donaldson the Goodwill Ambassador for the Bi Men Network for 2004... bimen.org and host of the Treys Top Tips web magazine... The best way to approach someone that looks interesting (but you’re just not sure) is basically to check them out. Look them in the eye, smile, and then check out their package, look back up at their eyes and smile again. If they smile back or better yet check out your package odds are they are approachable. I have mixed emotions about the new trend. I always hated that I had to look queer just to get like minded guys to look at me. I also tend not to be attracted to the stereotypical flamer. So we need to find something new to set us apart or do we? With the acceptance, more and more men are coming out of the closet as gay and bisexual and it’s great. The chances of a straight guy that will kick your ass just for looking twice at them are dropping drastically. Rejection is rejection it happens to every one, so why not just approach a guy if he’s says "sorry, I'm straight" its really no different then a gay or bi guy saying "Sorry I'm not interested". Not asking automatically means no but asking is at least a maybe. So just go for it. - freewolf
Personally, I think this is reprehensible. Really, sexual identity and orientation is not something that can be defined by the clothes one wears, white pants and pink tops are something I would never wear, and trust me, I'm gay. This person’s perspective seems bent on keeping gay people easily identifiable, and he seems to disparage the "metrosexual" movement. Sexual orientation is not something black and white; it is like life, a series of shades. Has this person never read the Kinsey report? I refuse to be one of those stereotypical "flaming fags" as he so flippantly declares gay people must now be. We do not need to become more identifiable, we need to become less identifiable. There is, in my opinion, nothing exclusively gay. There can never be, as can be seen in the gay community itself, there are so many subcultures, and each one reflects a "straight community" subculture", coincidence, I think not. There is nothing special about gay people, there is nothing special about straight people, who one loves or lusts is ones own business. I submit that the lines will only further blur, finally freeing gay people of their self imposed exile from the rest of humanity. Hate me, hate what I say, it really has no effect, I actually quite like furious responses to my ideas, it shows that I have at least made an impact, caused people to think. It seems to me that angry responses only prove my point, we only become really furious at ideas that hit too close to home, and question our previously held notions. If gay people are ever going to become truly part of the human community and not some eccentric fringe group, forever brushed off as flakes and fairies of no real substance, then we must question those notions. It is indeed time for change, but it seems clear to me that we must change ourselves. Unrepentant - Galanthus
