Something to think about: Masculinity

When will gay men learn that “masculine” and “muscular” is NOT the same thing?

And when will gay men learn to use “masculine” instead of “straight acting” when referring to their manliness? Or shall I say lack thereof.

I don’t know how many times I have see the term “straight acting” in online ads and see those same guys out at the disco queening out, yes I said queening out – as in a fucking flaming queer, to the newest Madonna tune (which is heavily remixed of course, only to make Madge “sound” flawless).

Also, when I see or hear the term “straight acting” I cringe because it projects an image that “acting” gay is not acceptable – and being effeminate is shameful. The gay community has decided instead of challenging this term, they have seemed to welcome it with open arms. With so much promise of celebrated diversity, the community looks as if it is on a downward spiral of self hatred – which is very sad indeed.
