AS A GAY MAN, I’LL NEVER BE NORMAL

Every norm everywhere all at as a gay man, I celebrate an nvenient tth of Pri Month: We’ll never be normal.

DISABILY: 'PEOPLE ASSUME I N'T BE GAY BEE I'M DISABLED'

That majory asi, when we discs self-intifyg gay men, lbians, asexuals, pansexuals, two-spir, nonbary and transgenr folks, ’s jt roughly 3 percent of the populatn. Heterosexuals make up a greater percentage of the untry than whe people do on the Supreme ask everyday Amerins to gus at jt the gay and lbian populatn, and Gallup shows they nsistently overtimate.

NOT EVERY GAY MAN IS DTF

A majory of the untry thks that at least 20 percent of Amerins — at least one five of — are gay or lbian.

Every remr of my different path ma me yearn for a fettable broar, blanr mastream sir thenticy foreign cuise or subtled foreign streamg shows, but mands sad homogenizatn of the forever foreign nature of queerns. And I realized how different is to be gay , say, Havana or the Bronx.

If, like me, one of your first troductns to the LGBTQ scene was Queer as Folk (both the Brish and Amerin versns), then your ma takeaway was probably that gay men like to fuck… a lot. From the dark rooms of clubs (y, they very much do exist beyond the cliché), the snas and bathho, and now the apps stalled on nearly every gay man’s phone, gay sex is accsible night and sheer staggerg amount of lube asi, ’s an unrstandable (and perhaps warranted) stereotype that gay men partake a lot of sex. And if a lot of gay media is to believed, we’re all thirsty bch eager to fd the next Instathottie, shirtls Jonas Brother, or daddy whose “hottt moments” are plastered all over the Inter.
