But there are also straight men who are on the more effeminate side of the bell curve, too. There are indeed gay men who are fussy and frilly and effeminate. That stereotyping drives men like me crazy.
Unfortunately, social stereotyping portrays gay men (mostly in the media) as being swishy queens with high-pitched voices and who are completely unable to do anything other than fuss, get flustered, hang out at Starsucks in shorts and flip-flops playing with their mobile devices, or plan the next “fabulous” party. Not all “gays” behave the same way, either. Yes, it is possible to behave in a masculine manner as an ordinary guy, and also be gay. If any one set of words is searched on the ‘net more than any others that lead to visitors to this blog, it is “masculine gay men.”
