Would you call yourself a "stereotypical" gay?

Not really. I have the occasional odd moment where I do something super gay, but those are rare. Sure I like to bake, clean, watch television and movies that are generally considered to be geared towards women (like The View), and I even know the lyrics to a Lady Gaga song or two. But I generally don't think of myself as a stereotypical gay man. I hardly dress flamboyantly; most of my clothes are plain and dark. I know next to nothing about Broadway musicals, although I blame that on living in the middle of nowhere. I like to look nice, but I don’t spend more than 15 minutes getting ready for something.

 

Yes, actually.

-I love Broadway musicals.
-Most of my friends are female.
-I talk with my hands.
-I love fashion and give great fashion advice.
-I flirt with my straight guy friends (jokingly, though).
-I like Madonna.
-I watch Will and Grace.
-I take a certain amount of pride in my appearance.

That's about it, I guess. :3

 

So not stereotypical. Most of my clothes are plain, I have, shall we say, an underdeveloped fashion sense, and my idea of a fun time is going with my friends into the desert to shoot the rifle I just bought.

When a couple of friends first found out I was gay, their response was "are you sure?" I defy stereotypes

 

Let's see... The stereotype about lesbians.

Other stereotypes:
-always short hair
-butch
-owns power tools
-wants to be a man
-wants a "cock"
-has a masculine occupation
-'swaggers'
-is mean
-wears flannel all the time
-hates men

Of the following, I only:
-have short hair
-and am attracted to women (but not because I want to be a man).

Really I am:
-just me
-I wear jeans, tshirts, shorts, tanktops, femme tops, business attire, some dresses (whatever I feel really)
-I'm not mean
-I don't hate men. I just don't want to see them rip off their clothes off and devour me.
-I'm going into a pretty mixed sex occupation (meaning both genders are represented in my fields)
-I drink coffee/tea just like any other woman
-I guess I don't shop a lot like many women do... but that's because I'd rather be outside enjoying nature or reading a book instead

So... overall unless you catch me talking about women, my friends joking about me being "so gay" :lol: or notice me lingering my gaze on women or some form of PDA, then you probably won't know.

 

Yes, very yes - just a different stereotype of a gay man. Presenting the cultured gentleman:

- polite and tactful
- often interested in the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake
- a love of music of many styles, parts of the world, and eras
- drinks tea
- plays chess

but for all these qualities it is the last one which makes it true:

- some of the above mentioned interests are a mere expression of sexual frustration

The cultured gentleman is often depicted as the single bachelor living in a large home in the English countryside spending evenings in his study with his many books. All goes well for him until he has to take care as his young nephew and niece. Then all hell breaks loose. Unlike the stereotype I am out, and no nephew or niece is going to get me married to a woman I was good friends with but we since parted ways.

 

Only in a few ways. Let's see:

1. I love musicals.
2. My favorite singer is Madonna.
3. Followed by Christina Aguilera.
4. I also love Judy Garland.
5. I also like Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, and the Scissor Sisters.
6. My favorite movies include "Gone With The Wind," "The Wizard Of Oz," "Beauty & The Beast," "Milk," and "Brokeback Mountain."
7. "Glee" is one of the best shows ever, in my opinion.
8. I cry at sad movies and TV shows.
9. I've danced around in my room on ocassion.
10. I find guys really really sexy.

That's it for me. I dress pretty plainmost of the time, I don't lisp, I like my hair to look nice but I don't obsess, my wrists are only slightly limp, I don't mince around and say "girlfriend," and "oh no you di'in't" ever. Not once. I also like Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Meatloaf, and Elvis Presley who aren't stereotypically gay music choices. and one of my favorite movies is also "Star Wars."

 

Short hair, tomboyish? Check.
I'm a grad student in a male-dominated field (Computer Science), I'm a huge metalhead, I rarely wear heels or skirts, I love video games, I don't wear make-up or nail varnish, I almost never wear jewellery, I love fitness and working out...

I *think* I'm a bit dykey. (!)

 

i dunno if i am or not i dont think so the only thing i am is an emotional wreck.

 

Not really, but my music tastes range from Lady GaGa, but also to Sigur Rós to Enter Shikari to Animal Collective, and i'm listening to Dream Theatre now. I tend to be a bit, i dunno... giggly? But definitely not flamboyant. Also i tend to like touching and personal films over action film, but aside from that, . A friend of mine said "you don't act gay enough to be gay", but surely being attracted to the same gender is enough?

 

Not really since no one can really tell what I am, much to my annoyance

-I don't care what I look like when I leave the house
-Im unorganized and I hate cleaning
-Im overly shy
-I do procrastinate quite a bit
-I only like a select few musicals
-I don't care for the majority of female singers and actors
-I despise promiscuity and open relationships of all kinds
-I don't cry very often
-My voice isn't high pitched, its actually quite monotone
-I do not have female friends
-I don't really actually care about fashion or art
-Music is not my life and people who say music is their life irritate me, like there isn't more important things in the world
-I enjoy solitude
-I don't care what anyone thinks
-And I'm not perky and optimistic
Ill leave it there but theres plenty more

As for stereotypes I do fit in
-By instinct I say ew during a sex scene between a man and a woman in movies
-I'm patient and understanding
-I do like bright colors
-I speak correct English
-I hate sports
-I throw like a girl (You know what I mean)
-I do speak with my hands
-I've never been kicked in the crotch by a girl (I think this counts)
-I love comedy-romance movies
-And well I love guys
Thats all I can think of right now

 

Rawwrrrr, RaeofLite, I absolutely hate the "ALL LESBIANS HATE MEN" stereotype. >:| Or the "you're just a lesbian because you couldn't get a boyfriend" one. No! Guys are cool and I love hanging out with them! I just don't particularly want to date them. Psh, it's about lady-love, not man-hate!

I don't know which stereotype I hit though. I seem to hit a couple kinda!

- I so do not like wearing dresses or skirts and generally feel awkward as hell wearing one in public.
- I hate carrying purses.
- I have short hair and like it better that way. (Even though I kind of resemble Shaggy lately. HAIRCUT TIME.)
- I'm an art student. =D
- I love huge dogs (especially dobermans, rottweilers, pit bulls, and the like).
- I love cats despite my horrible allergy. =(
- I have three P!nk posters on my wall. I don't know if it's stereotypical or not, but it does kind of scream "DYKE" (well, them and the rainbow flag, anyway). =P She's just so damn hot.
- I'm a liberal and an environmentalist and I don't eat red meat.
- I'm a feminist. (Which so shouldn't be a stereotype but I've heard things like "[something something] ...and all those lesbians at FMLA" and A. NOT NECESSARILY, Y'ALL, and B. what the hell difference does it make anyway? ARGH.)
- I like wearin' suits.
- I... do actually own power tools and know how to use them. >.> (Granted, I use them all for art projects, so that is not quite as badass as "SO HEY I TOTALLY BUILT THE DECK WE'RE SITTING ON. YOU'RE WELCOME.") ALSO I CAN DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. >:|

But! I wear makeup (granted, mostly to cover the acne scars), I shave, tweeze my eyebrows, I enjoy cute shoes, I love shopping, I do tend to wear girly tops, motorcycles terrify me, and... Uh. Oh, I like Hello Kitty!

So I guess basically, what I am saying is I am a very Kirah-type queer. I think that fits me about to a tee!

-I like Madonna
