Stori of homosexual relatnships and genr non-nformy have long been nfed to die films and Osr ba, never allowed the same wi appeal and marketg for the fear of alienatg an dience who wouldn’t be acceptg. Growg up, people would often tell me that I “walked gay. ” I ed to wonr how puttg one foot ont of the other uld seem gay, but I heard so equently that I accepted as tth.
To fd out what else was gay, I looked to popular-culture, where I saw gay men mostly adherg to a fairly one-dimensnal set of stereotyp: fashnable, wty, effemate. Historilly, gay stereotyp have been even ls kd.
Yet today’s gay men aren’t as reliant on reprentatns crafted by others, wh social media helpg to mocratize storytellg by providg a platform for people to share their experienc.
