ATXGAYBROS HAS MOVED TO R/OUTINAT

"Gear, Gb, Guns, and Guys" is the tagle of Gaybros, a Redd subgroup that has grown om 200 subscribers at the begng of 2012 to nearly 50, 000 2016, wh more than 3 ln pageviews a month. Origally a digal space where gay men to more tradnally mascule terts like sports and the ary uld chat, Gaybros has evolved to regular meetup groups Los Angel, New York, Chigo, and even London.

For obv reasons, Gaybros and s founr, Alex Delu, have curred ire om gay people of all strip who acce the group of femmhamg and even homophobia. Stay on top of Gaybros -- the Inter nclave of gay gby players, gamers, and "du's dus" -- on Out.

LOS ANGEL GAY BROS

A place for queer, gay, bi, pan, lbian and qutng humans to share, give advice, and receive support! Meet the Gaybros. They make the gay muny mad.

After a ltle over a year existence, Gaybros now fds self at a promisg but uncerta crossroads. As members of Gaybros—a Redd-based muny for gay guys wh tradnally manly terts like sports, huntg, and beer—the large majory of their bondg tak place through ment threads unr topics like “Ron Swanson vs.

Jam Bond” and “My Gay Card Has Been Revoked. ” someone I’m too ld to look toward explas, referencg the cy’s premiere gay sports bar.

GAYBROS

If the Gaybro’s missn statement is “a place for guys to get together and talk about, well, guy stuff. The r is classic pub, all dark woods and vtage trophi, but wh a cidly gay twist: Look even briefly at the hoe-ma baseball and football player posters ratg the walls, and more than sportsmanlike appreciatn for the athletic male form quickly be apparent. From my perch by the rner at pile, I survey the scene: Gay men of an imprsive range of age, race, attractivens, body type, and ball-p embroiry shake hands and strike up nversatns.

He has brought along a solidly built and more maturely handsome AIDS rearcher wh whom I spend a nsirable amount of time discsg the cle of gay social spac like the one we’re . Given that the few gay spac that do rema are almost always segregated by race, age, and sexual type (twk, bear, leather, etc.

R/ASKGAYBROSOVER30

Also worthy of note was the lack of excsive ciss wh the group; though gay men almost never stop flirtg entirely, this was clearly not, as multiple bros would tell me, a “datg service. After the first round had been draed, I overhear my iend Jake—who I only found out was a Gaybro sympathizer after startg on this story and whose hband, Tim Ka, is one of the group’s morators—rpond scily to a ment about football players’ jock straps: “Now that’s a game I uld get to! Pl, I thought I’d earned a break om the prsure of all those firm handshak: The uple I was crashg wh had ved me to a gay hoe party promisg more faiar acutrements like cdés and Robyn mic, so I Google-mapped my way across Boston om bro to ‘mo.

But as I glanced around at the Crate & Barrel brand of gayns on display this open-ncept, Hdu y-studd livg room, I felt, not relief, but a twge of doubt. So read an stant msage om a lleague when he learned that I was gog to be chillg wh the Gaybros. My terlocutor was mostly jokg, of urse, but the kernel of tth h home: I was probably gog to have to butch-up my vobulary a b if I wanted to hang wh, much ls hope to unrstand, a group of fellow gay men who would willgly ll themselv “bros.

When you look up the term Gaybro on Urban Dictnary, two extremely tellg fns appear. The first—“a gay man who acts mascule and is terted guy stuff like sports, vio gam, ary issu, grillg, kniv, gear, workg out, gadgets, tech, etc …”—seems to have been lifted om the Gaybros missn statement.

MEET THE GAYBROS

The send is ls ntral: “Young mascule homosexual mal who exhib no effemate characteristics or terts and make a pot of gog on about how ‘normal’ they are. Gaybros have no gay iends bee they n’t relate to other gay people. Before meetg the Gaybros, the send fn was the only one I knew, and I am not at all alone.

Many gays I’ve spoken wh share a visceral and somewhat histrnic revulsn toward the very ia of Gaybrodom that, ironilly, is not dissiar to the reactn many straights have to gays before they know one. When Buzzfeed terviewed the group’s founr, Alex Delu, on the ocsn of their one-year anniversary this past January, the ments sectn immediately filled wh screeds about “mascule privilege” and “femmephobia” wh the gay muny. Delu, 23, spoke the Q-and-A about his dismay at enunterg a “very narrow fn of what means to be gay” mastream culture, one that apparently don’t make room for guys wh terts like “vio gam, patball, and sports.

” “I created Gaybros to provi a space for the guys, ” he said.

DO THE 'GAYBROS' TREND DIVI THE LGBT COMMUNY?

“[A place for them] to gather and talk about shared terts and to break down stereotyp and promote the ia that you uld be a gay man and still be exactly who you’ve always been. Eli Fox, a menter om New Orleans, ptured the general plat of those who took issue wh Delu’s treatg the gay “stereotype” like an unwanted rdboard box: “This is such bullsh and jt perpetuat the ia that femy is fake or that people put on […] He mak sound like mascule gay guys are somehow OPPRESSED. No, they’re the most sired, bee mascule tras are prized the gay male muny jt like practilly every other social group […] Masc guys aren’t the on who need to spend time promotg some agenda of masculy and “regular guy” culture crap.

Likely anticipatg this kd of ph-back, Buzzfeed had asked Delu to rpond to charg of “shamg effemate gays.

Everyone is wele to e to Gaybros to shoot the sh, grab a beer at a Gaybros meet up, and participate the different activi and events we schle.

That’s a word that has almost exclively been applied, ually rogatorily, to effemate gay guys.

When I spoke wh Delu over Skype, he seemed paed at the ia that outsirs might be reactg to Gaybros this way. Of urse no muny is for everybody, and no one is forcg anybody to jo or even pay attentn to Gaybros. But if ill-chosen language is unnecsarily drivg would-be members or fans away, that’s a shame, bee Gaybros has a lot to offer—and not jt for jock-strap nnoissrs.

Unr a wg of the group lled “Gaybros Giv Back, ” Delu says the bros are attemptg to raise $10, 000 for The Trevor Project March. But before the Gaybros n grow to a full-blown movement, they have some cricisms to ntend wh: that they are young (or newly out) and are therefore somewhat naïve or unrmed about the gay culture they don’t intify wh; that they assert their supposed masculy as a power play agast more effemate gays; that their straed relatnship wh the gay mastream is the rult of their own stubbornns as much as mean-girl excln. Many also seem to have more straight male iends than gay on, no doubt for a variety of reasons.

Still, though the foced discsns of “gay culture” that I’ve read on the se often lack historil ntext and nuance (many imply that ’s only ever been glter, Gaga, and GHB), they’re also almost always thoughtful. However, the “bro” part of the name—regardls of how “playful” Delu claims to have been choosg —will e many to see them as merely the next rnatn of the “butch, ” “straight-actg” or “regular guys” who have fed themselv agast some abstract notn of a more effemate “gay mastream” sce at least the 1970s. But spend an hour their onle discsns or an eveng chattg wh them over beers and you’ll quickly learn that the Gaybros’ relatnship to masculy and gay inty is not as simple as that.

In fact, that gently tawdry jock joke that Jake ma at Frz may have been the only time I heard sports—or any of the tradnally mascule thgs the Gaybros claim as their terts—mentned that eveng.

) would be Gaynerds. But then, I wasn’t really surprised to fd that the so-lled Gaybro army don’t actually match some Tom of Fland fantasy; though some members of the muny no doubt aspire to that kd of steroid-assisted gravas, the entirely cliched homosexual gentleman imaged by the group’s missn statement uldn’t possibly be real.
