Things gay men (supposedly) like

[digitalkid]

Here's my soapbox rant,
So maybe about 1/3 of the gay population subscribes to some hypersterotyped shit, but the rest of us should just get a free pass from things like...

Judy Garland: The gays have abandoned Judy for Madonna, a looooong time ago.

Dogs: Not just dogs, but SMALL dogs specifically. If it can fit in a purse, wear tiny sweaters and can be brought into work on occasion, a gay will buy one.

Drinks in the hue of pink: Gay men like to drink anything that gets them drunk the fastest or 2-4-1's, it doesn't have to have cherries or umbrellas or be endorsed by Carrie Bradshaw.

The genre of music titled "gay music": Any time you turn to a "gay music channel" you will hear everything from Donna Summer to Madonna to Indigo Girls to high energy house music. All of which, do NOT belong on the same station.

Gay marriage: The gay utopia of dinner parties, big salary jobs, adopting multi-culti children, and OWNING a home with a husband exists mostly in the pages of the NYT. This is not the reality for most.

Lesbians: Much like everyone else, gay men find lesbians and their interests to be very peculiar.

Big dicks: Okay, there are some exceptions....

Judy Garland grew on me over the years. Little dogs are not intimidating.

Stereotypes have never served our culture well.

Shep+

I'm old enough to have grown up listening to and loving Judy, Barbra and Liza.

But I'd never expect people of younger generations to feel the same way about them.

I don't particularly care for Madonna (one generation behind) or Britney or Beyonce (two generations behind), but I wouldn't ctiticize those who do.

Anyone that believes "all" gay men like anything (other than cock) is generalizing.

 

[alley]

I do likey the big dick---that's about the the only thing on the list though.

 

[tx_doc]

As for the little dogs, perhaps it's just my social circle, but most of the gay guys I know have Rottweilers, bull dogs (not dykes) and Pit Bulls.

 

[Fucker29]

Well, the list itself is flippant, but I think there is a bit of a difference between talking about purse dogs and an entire group of people.

Frankly, I would have used a "bite me" smiley, but one wasn't available.

That's not a problem...just bite him literally. Take a piece of flesh out of him.

A famous gay icon by the name of Geraldine Jones got it right when she said: "Don't fight the feeling!" I make no bones about the fact that I love the great divas of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. From Cleopatra to Rihanna. It's all good.

There is no competition between Judy Garland and Madonna. They are are both great in their own way. I DO expect young people to relish the legends of yesteryear, because their lives are empty without a foundation to stand on. I don't see nayer one of 'em out there making tochdowns. Let's be real.


Men! Do you know what Audrey Hepburn made when she appeared in "Funny Face?" She made history and, more importantly, she made YOU and ME. And what about Bette Davis? Huh? Without dames like her, where would we be today? Probaly lying in a guttah somewhere, ashamed of being seen, ashamed of being heard, but more than anything, "...ashamed of being Joyce Heath!" Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'm so fired up, I just might go out for a "pink fluffy" or two. It'll just be Faaabulous!

 

[EwanSF]

None of those things. I like lesbians, have a good taste in music, hate dogs of any kind, let alone dog-rodent hybrids, don't particularly care about marriage, hate Judy fucking Garland, would rather look at an attractive, symetrical dick than a big one and never, ever drink anything pink (I could be swayed on that one if that's the colour the blood of Paris Hilton happens to be.)

 

[David DeVour]

Zombies are pink and they'll definitely get you sloshed. Wait, maybe they're orange-red. It's been a while

 

[Croynan]

could it be that this thread is a stereotype - one we have seen many times before? boring.

eM.

 

[inlovewithblair]

I don't like Judy Garland. I live with a small dog, but prefer my cocker spaniel. I don't like pink drinks. I'm not intrigued by lesbians, but I do love fun music.

 

[NickInSJ]

In my 20's I would have said "hell NO" to almost all of the above. Now, I can honestly say YES to most of it.

Not sure when/how it happened. Brainwashing or appreciating? Maybe a lil bit of both!

Interestingly, my BF (who is now 29) has gone through the SAME situation. We met when he was 22, and he was staunchly against each & all. Now, he has suggested going to Vegas to see Bette Middler, has an appreciation for Joan Crawford and Bette Davis (not MY doing, it just "happened").

Watch out what you say "never" about. It may bite you in the ass some day!

My Dog

AM I still gay?

 

[Yooper]

Judy/Madonna/Britney et al: Don't really care.

Small Dogs: I like most dogs. But sue me, we have a Lhasa Apso, it was my partner's Mom's dog but we are now her caretaker, but for how long we don't know, as she's 15 1/2 with old-dog problems. She's a sweetie, though.

Pink Drinks: Gimme a beer

Gay Music: Not sure what constitutes 'Gay Music' really.

Gay Marriage: Gay marriage: The gay utopia of dinner parties, big salary jobs, adopting multi-culti children, and OWNING a home with a husband exists mostly in the pages of the NYT. This is not the reality for most.
Well, after being together for 20 years, we never have dinner parties, we have no jobs thus no big salary, don't want children but OWN 3 homes. Wanna buy one? Cheap!

Lesbians: Most are OK, in huge numbers are frightening. Never, ever get one mad! We have a nice one living next door (ok, she's crashing with her Mom after a nasty breakup, but she is still nice. We're taking her out on Saturday.)

Big Dicks: Overrated but nice to look at.

For instance, if a guy is wearing a pink shirt, everything else about him can say "I'm straight" but that shirt tells anyone with any sense at all that he's either gay or he just wants to ruin his chances with the ladies.

Objection, your Honour.

I have three pink shirts - one super-bright luminous pink one by Billiabong of Australia, Inc, surf company extraordinaire, with glow-in-the-dark detail. It's a limited edition 25th anniversary edition shirt which I have kept in prinstine condition even though I bought in 1998 and it gets nothing but admiration from everyone alike when I wear it out and about.

One is paler one, also by surf company Billabong, but is a smarter shirt with buttons and whatnot and can be worn to dress up a pair of jeans or linen pants, or dress down a smarter pair. It also always gets compliments from everyone, but mostly the women.

The third is also pale pink, and surf-bred by the good folks at O'Neill even though it is a golf-shirt. That particular shirt, more than anything in my closet, always has the women fawning over me and, in one particular case, trying to set me up with her daughter each time I have worn it and run into her.

In what can only be regarded as bizarrely ironic, the only person who has expressed dislike for my pink shirts (to be fair, everyone's pink shirts), is a dude at my office who is completely and totally gay.

I'd go for Liza over Judy any day but I'm not against Madonna and I like gay marriage and cock so I'm gay on those but...

German Shepherds, Jazz/Classical/Classic Rock, and a simple Rum and Coke suit me much better than all that other stuff. Oh, and I have nothing for or against lesbians as I make friends on a person to person basis without regard to orientation.

Judy - I like the Wizard of Oz, though that's where my love affair with la Garland ends.

Small dogs - I like big dogs. Huskies, labs, golden retrievers, shepherds...

Pink drinks - beer, whiskey and, if I'm feeling frisky, wine for me.

Gay music - Normally not, though I've been listening to GaydarRadio for days now. It's fab.

Gay marriage - I would like/love to get married, though I don't want the one described. Mine'd be more like 'a permanent living arrangement with the man I love, preceded by a huge party and accompanied by tax benefits'. The rest will be filled in as we go, but kids won't be a part of it. Yeah, I'm a romantic.

Lesbians - Meh. They can be fun. And scary. But also fun.

Big cocks - Nice to look at, sure. We'll see if one ever makes it up my arse.
