Boy, do I have some Tales to Tell...

I love the "straight-acting" boys at the gym. I find their aloofness quite endearing. Hey Butch-boy, you keep holding on to that "straight-acting" ideal. I'm sure it will work for you sometime.

I guess what I find exceptionally offensive about homosexuals who say that they are or like straight-acting men (only) is the narrow-mindedness that comes along with it. It's the way these "straight-acting" gays look at the rest of us queers who don't fit into their "straight-acting" world. I also find that gay men who harp on the straight-acting issue seem to be very uncomfortable in their skin. They often have scowls and never smile. When did smiling become a gay thing? When did being mean become a straight thing?

If you happen to like playing sports, hiking mountains, digging ditches, or fixing cars AND still have sex with other men, then you are GAY. Get over yourself! I happen to enjoy crushing my competition when it comes to any type of sporting endeavor. I also have a knack for fixing electrical appliances. I have been known to read the sports page (yes, read not just look at the pics) and discuss sports stats once in a while. I also enjoy laying out all my clothing to see what new combinations I can come up with. I have 24 pairs of shoes, not counting sneakers. I read Vogue, scream when I find something funny, prance around when I get a chance, and giggle with my closest friends.

Do I classify any of my interests as masculine or feminine? No. Can a female enjoy digging ditches? I hope so. Can a male enjoy having 24 pairs of shoes? He should. Does that make them any less of a human being? Absolutely not! Does that make them homosexuals? Not unless they have sex with people of the same gender. In this day and age, shouldn't we stop associating a lot of interests with gender? Isn't that from the olden days?

In my encounters with these "straight-acting" gays, I have noticed a "holier than thou" attitude. As if it makes them more acceptable as gays because they fit the heterosexual idea of masculine traits. Honey, they still know you are gay and guess what, they don't think of you any better because you can splice an electrical wire. I do find it interesting that before any of us come out of the closet, we spend our entire life acting a certain way so that our secrets are not discovered. When we finally do leave the closet why on earth would anyone want to continue "acting"? Later.
