THREAD: FLAMBOYANT GAYS VS THE AVERAGE HOMOSEXUAL MALE.

Flamboyant Gays vs The Average Homosexual Male.

Pictured: Flamboyant gay TV host Carson Krsley vs gay TV host Kyan Douglas. I'm a straight male, and lookg om the outsi , I n see at least part of the reason why homophobia still exists.

I have absolutely 0 problem wh anyone's sexualy, whether gay, straight, asexual etc. But there are certa behavural and personaly tras often associated wh gay mal that are slightly off-puttg. The overly enthiastic gay man wh a se om ear to ear that is flailg his arms around and speakg a high pched voice.

LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENR – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

More importantly, that guy is annoyg whether he was gay or straight. Now my pot is that this stereotypil gay man is what most people believe a gay man to be. As I do not have any experience to speak of wh the gay muny, I n neher nfirm nor ny this stereotype.

But for some reason I jt don't thk that MOST gay people are actually like this. I'm not sure if this theory is valid or not, but I feel like there is possibly a very small and loud mory of gay men that are g for all of the others. People don't hate them bee they're gay, people hate them bee they're annoyg.

IS YOUR MAN GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL?

But soon the l blur and the hate for those annoyg flamboyant INDIVIDUALS, be hate for all gay people at large, cludg the non-annoyg on. I know a straight iend who uld be scribed as flamboyant, but I also know que a few gay iends who are.

The gay people who are flamboyant jt about outnumber the on who aren't.

OT: I pretty much agree wh what you have said regards to the false equivalency between gay and flamboyant the media, one of my pet peev actually. Shows are gettg better at portrayg gay 'liftyl' more realistilly, certaly dog a better job than the 90's.

DIFFERENC AND SIARI BETWEEN GAY AND STRAIGHT DIVIDUALS VOLVED THE SADOMASOCHISTIC SUBCULTURE

Flamboyant is often ed for gays only, but I thk 's someone who really flnts their sexualy/emotns and who shows a lot of movg around. Most gay men act straight and HATE the stereotypil mp gays.

I bet every sgle person on this fom knows a gay man that they don't know about bee they act straight. May be you are upset about gays bee you chugg dong all day and n't let out. Not bee they are bad, or homophobic, or transphobic… but bee the reali are not their own lived experience, or bee workg alongsi the groups may be a newer experience for them.

E., bisexual, gay, straight. In his Royal Oaks, Michigan, practice, Joe specializ Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy and IMAGO Relatnship Therapy, often treatg men who are qutng their sexual orientatn.
