Default Gay stereotypes

lol, i think we should name some of the stereotypes and if you 'fit in' with them. i'll name one,

1. You hang out with mostly girls.

lol, this is true for me

(next person, just copy 1, and add another one on and say if you fit in with them, you can repost when other people add more stereotypes to the list)

But that's mostly because most of the guys at my school are complete assholes.

2. You have a lisp.

Only because of my retainer. And it's not a stereotypical gay lisp.

Default Re: Gay stereotypes

I don't think I live up to any, my friends are varied in their sex and my voice sounds like a normal male's. I'm also fairly uninterested in fashion and I don't have any mannerisms associated with gay stereotypes. I find men who live up to lots of gay stereotypes maddening, so that would explain it.

Agreed. The only stereotype that I think we should be concerned with is the only truly unifying one: we're attracted to members of our own sex. Acknowledging and applying these stereotypes to yourself only perpetuates them, and in turn is harmful to the community.

Um... lol Sorry that made me laugh

The only stereotype I live up to is the part about liking guys.

Default Re: Gay stereotypes

I know a couple stereotypes that fit me:
- I hang out with pretty much all girls (as stated already)
- I'm feminine... but not enough to be extremely flamboyant. Just a tad flamboyant hehe

There is a common misconception that all gays click their tounge while speaking. Not true. I find that usually the unattractive ones do. LOL.

Default Re: Gay stereotypes

Well, a lot of people tell me that I write like a girl. I guess that might another one.

I also watch shows like ANTM & Will & Grace.

I'm overly concerned about my weight and my hair. (I'm fat & my hair looks like crap, yeah.)

I say like every other second.
