What about you FITS a gay stereotype? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Kryz · 13th Nov 2008, 11:27 PM

So I've read everyone saying what about them it's not ~gay~

Now I'd like to know what it's on us that FITS the damn stereotype

Me:

I sometimes move my hips as I walk (It's healthier to walk this way actually)
I say "honey" from time to time
I snap my fingers when I over-react about womething
I'm in the theater group
I sing, A LOT
I like SOME Madonna's
I like the dancing
I can ~actually~ move my hips
I blow kisses occasionally
I'm a bitch sometimes
I'm a gossip person

I'll think of more

n8i2c7k · 13th Nov 2008, 11:33 PM

i think the only thing that just might give it away is that when my freinds show me a picture of some hot girl and go "Do you think she's hot?" all i respond with is a halfhearted "...sure..." although they really dont seem to notice

musican · 13th Nov 2008, 11:51 PM

I like to dance
I can be obsessed with my hair
I only have girls as friends, no guys
I love shopping
Im very emotional
I can be a bitch
I like dance music
I like art and music over sports
I dont like to watch sports
I dont think Ive ever said that a girl is hot
I give good fashion advice
I love singing

**Maddy** · 14th Nov 2008, 12:01 AM

I used to love playing softball. I love rainbows, and I don't care much about fashion. That's about it, I guess.

- I love wearing cologne.
- I use tons of products for my face

ProfessorLepus · 14th Nov 2008, 03:39 AM

Sometimes I worry about myself.

- I am a halfway decent graphic designer
- Sports don't interest me
- Exceptions can be made for spectator sports involving men wrestling each other in tight clothing
- I use hand gestures
- I have an eye for art
- I have an ear for techno?
- Certain songs from broadway musicals get stuck in my head
- I... I... I listen... to Madonna *facepalm*

...

Ouch, that was a biggie, that last one there. Well you know what? I listen to heavy metal too, so shut up!

Ditto for all the above - I removed the Madonna statement

I have found that I tend to arch myself more than necessary when walking and frequently walk with my arms bent, not quite a limp wrist, but you could hang a handbag there...

Well damn, this is hard. I have half an interest in musicals and I whistle from time to time...umm...I sometimes use my hands when I speak, but I don't flop them around like dead fish. I don't care for sports at all, and even though I don't like pop and techno I can stand to listen to them, and...maybe I'll get back to you on that.
