Interesting article, and it’s definitely something that needs addressing, but I do think it’s oversimplified here.įor one thing, people are never really one or the other, there are a lot of shades of ‘masc’ or ‘fem’. So basically, in a roundabout way, “straight-acting” is the nice/white way of saying I want a man on the DL. Sidebar – I always found straight acting to be funny…if you’re straight acting, doesn’t that mean you’re acting straight? And acting straight would mean you’re acting like you sleep with the opposite sex, since that’s the only thing straight means. So, in the words of Beyonce BOW DOWN, because these effeminate men are the reason why you can walk hand in hand with your gym rat boyfriend on the boulevard. The “straight acting” guys were going to work, fitting into society seamlessly, not being noticed and not wanting to be. Funny thing is, it was those very 6’2 dress wearing “yassss” saying gay men that got the movement to start and progress. In recent years gay pride has been all about “look we’re just like you” and unfortunately the 6’2 dress wearing “yasssss” saying man on the side isn’t portraying that message of assimilation. Not to mention they see effeminate gay men as holding them back from the mainstream acceptance. So, they bash it, it’s that classic concept called projection. They see in effeminate men, what they often times are not, unapologetically themselves, brave and authentic. Preach sis! You hit the nail on the head, effeminate gay men are mirrors to the self-loathing “straight acting” gay men. So, then, it makes sense that you would have a problem with someone who’s brave enough to be the person you don’t have the guts to be. Anyone who can get up and walk out of their house knowing they will be rejected by most of the people they run into has to be strong and thick-skinned. The ironic thing about it all is that you look down on feminine gay men because they’re actually stronger than you.

We should be united, but instead we’re worried about how someone else who’s going through the same struggles as any gay man might make us be perceived by others. Gay men don’t even accept each other, yet we want the same rights as everyone else. In fact, I don’t even excuse it.Īt a time when we’re supposed to be standing together as a community, we couldn’t be farther apart. I believe our culture in general is doing a fine job of that, you know, the church fanatics that want us all put to death and political/religious leaders who have outlawed our lifestyle in other countries. That’s how it works, right?Īll sarcasm aside, what I’m definitely not going to apologize for is your skewered belief that sparkly, flamboyant gay men make other “normal” gay men look bad.

All because you blend in with the rest of the society and are able to hide and even deny your sexuality when it conveniences you. People stare at you, call you names, and even threaten your life. I didn’t realize it was so hard to be masculine and gay at the same time. To all gay men who make it a habit of looking down on/making fun of feminine gay men, let me first apologize.
