homosexual man or fagggg

[Blue]

I have no problem with effeminate gay men, hell I am one, where I have a problem is when they deliberately flaunt it in an inappropriate situation.

This walking down small conservative town main street - no problem.


This walking down that same street - PROBLEM.


In my experience, being gay is not the issue with most homophobic people when you actually get them to sit down and talk about it with them. It ins't the fact that you are gay they fear, it's that you might push it on them, or they way you present yourself will make their children want to be gay, or that getting too close to you when you are being overly effeminate will somehow wear off on them.

Okay we know i'ts all a load of crap, but we still have to live in the real world and flaunting it inappropriately is not doing any of us any good. Sure, gay pride event and I'll be the first one out there prancing around in rainbows with "Proud to be GAY" either on a sign or painted on my body if it's warm enough to go without a shirt but take me home, and I'm going to throw on shorts or jeans and a tank or sweater, depending on the weather, before going into town.

Sure I'm either naturally, moderately camp, or I've done it so long I forgot how to be any other way but, that ins't flaunting, that's just me being me. The conservative fundamentalist around here, call me by my given name or, "Sir", as it should be in a southern town. Yes if they have guests form out of town with them, they probably will inform their guests that I'm one of the local gays but, that is usually followed by some version of "he's okay though, he doesn't push it at you."

Bingo!- a little common sense and decorum on my part = acceptance on their part.
