“When I say positive stereotypes I mean the stereotypes that are usually true even though you would not want to admit it”

I kinda take issue with your definition of what a stereotype is. A positive stereotype is something positive that is widely assumed about somebody, whether it is true or not has nothing to do with it. Example - a tall guy is good at basketball. I think your definition is a little off, but the replies you have seem to follow the definition I gave, about gay guys knowing a lot about fashion, being trendy etc.

Positive: Gay men love sucking cock/ have oral fixation/are great cock suckers “I personally feel that man knows what man wants so it’s only natural for guys to be better at sucking cock than girls, and when it comes to guys and cock sucking it’s less mystery and more pleasure because a guy don’t have to wonder if he’s doing something wrong or right he already know what to do cause that is what he would like.

Negative: Gay men think sports are boring “I do not think this is true because I know a lot of gay men that love sports… I think it depends on the person's interest” and by the way a lot of people think that gay men want to be women/girls but there are a whole lot of women that love sports, some more than men do.

Sorry…I did not mean to offend you or anything because I too agree that stereotypes are judging people and you should never pass judgment on anyone but I do believe that there are a lot of assumptions about certain things that are true based on accurate facts.

negative stereotypes with gay men-ultra feminine, diva attitude , into fashion, superficial, has only female friends, is horny and sleeps around

positive stereotypes with gay men-artistic, knows how to dress, successful, very determined, compassionate

too lazy to talk about bi guys.

To many to mention.

For bi guys:

Positive: I can't really think of any but I guess we're rarely considered "fem."

Negative: We're all whores, we don't care about people's feelings, we're shallow, we're all cheaters, we only have actual relationships with women, we're actually gay and just lying to ourselves.

But my absolute favorite is that we "don't exist." I can ensure all the non-believers that I (we) am very real indeed and I am right here.

heres a funny one: because gay people are "oppressed" by our very heterosexual society, they are sensitive to the problems of other oppressed groups

spot on.

You go jasoncrew!! I'm not bi but you guys get a bad rap from errybody. Especially the existence one and the lying-to-yourself one; really grinds my gears. Preach the truth! You got support from this guy here
