Why are gay men ‘phobic? My opinion is that it’s because they were raised that way, anyway it’s not all of us and coming out, and being happy with who you are is a process. They younger the guy is, the likelier he is to still be in the process.
Why do I think this? “Cause I lived it. Some mea culpas, when I was freshly out at the tender age of 19, I was a fucking little shit. I still wasn’t comfortable with being gay. I said stupid things like “I’m not stereotypically gay,” and described myself with the ever popular “straight acting/appearing”. I wouldn’t date outside my own self imposed classification.
Funny that, let’s see, you suck cock, you take it up the ass, that’s certainly not straight acting, and that’s pretty stereotypically gay. LOL
Why, because these terms really mean “I don’t want to be associated with other gays and don’t forget it.” They tell people that you may be gay, but you’re still not like “them,” the flamers, the drag queens, and all the fey little hairdressers that your mother can’t do without. I think the ultimate crime of the effeminate, and the ultimate crime of being gay, is rooted in misogyny, crimes against your manhood, and it’s easier to reconcile being gay if you can still convict someone else of that. A lot of us said these things because of self hatred no doubt. We thought we were better because we could “pass,” because we played football in high school, did all the typical guy stuff.
Thankfully it need not be a permanent condition. I grew up, and got over it, and I’m a better person for having gotten over it.
I’m convinced this syndrome is why we have gay republicans, and gay men whose greatest ambition is to be accepted, not to have liberty. I used to confuse those two, I don’t anymore.
