Illtratn by Mars ChWas I the only gay man of a certa mo who experienced a flicker of annoyance the way the media treated Jason Colls as some kd of baby panda who need to be honored and praised and nsoled and--y--fantilized by his g out on thever of Sports Illtrated?

Wh the tyrannil homophobia of the sports world, that any man would e out as gay (let alone a black man) is not only an LGBT triumph but also a triumph for pranksters everywhere who thrilled to the ia that what should be nsired jt another ntral fact that is nobody's bs was stead a shock heard around the world, one that add another jolt of transparency to an creasgly transparent pla. But the subsequent fawng over Colls simply statg he is gay still seemed to me, as another gay man, like a new kd of victimizatn.

The reign of The Gay Man as Magil Elf, who whenever he out appears before as some kd of satly E. Whose sole purpose is to be put the posn of remdg only about Tolerance and Our Own Prejudic and To Feel Good About Ourselv and to be a symbol stead of jt beg a gay du, is--lamentably--still media play. The Gay Man as Magil Elf has been such a tricky part of gay self-patronizatn the media that you would by now expectthe chill members of the LGBT muny to rpond wh ol difference.

"IT'S NOT GAY IF 'S CLAY." "POLICE WON'T LOOK IF SHE'S A BOOK." "IF SHE'S AN ELF SHE N'T BE 12."

The Sweet and Sexually Unthreateng and Super-Succsful Gay is supposed to be sted to transform The Hets to noble gay-lovg protectors--as long as the gay qutn isn't msy or sexual or difficult. The straight and gay sanctimonns that says everyone gay needs to be nonized when g out still mak some of who are already out feel like we're on the sil.

I'm all for g out on one's own terms, but heraldg as the most important news story of the week feels to me, as a gay man, well, kd of alienatg.
