WHAT DO IT MEAN TO BE A GAY MAN?

If you are both short and gay, (or another mory), which stggle is worse? As a man who is both short and gay, has been easier for me to al wh beg gay.

Perhaps 's bee we live a time when gays are rapidly gag acceptance and I rarely need to take any guff om anyone. As far as datg is ncerned, the preference for tall men seems to also be the se the gay world.

AS A GAY MAN, I’LL NEVER BE NORMAL

However, I feel like lots of gay guys are all about short guys.

So many gay men grow up believg there is somethg “wrong” wh bee we are different om other supposedly “normal” mal.

It’s not surprisg that a term like “straight-actg” shows up so often gay men’s onle personal ads. It prumably means the advertiser nsirs himself a “real” man—real, that is, acrdg to a standard of masculy he don’t attribute to other gay men. So many gay men learn we are different om other boys by havg the fact poted out and ridiculed by bulli durg our young, most imprsnable, years.
