Isn't itAMAZING how the various pride events bring us all together? There is no us against them, gay men and lesbians party and celebrate pride side by side. Now when the glitter is all washed off and the parade is over, what happens to that togetherness? It’s as if many gay man growing up and coming into my own as a gay men, tend to be influenced by many factors that make them believe that lesbians are butch, angry women who HATE gay men. And this belief seems to fill them with fear about being around lesbians. Yeah many of us mock how quickly lesbians move in together after the second date, but I somehow suspect that deep down that comes from a place of jealously. But all of this aside, can someone tell me once and for all, why gay men have such a hatred for lesbians?
I've often wondered the same, myself. I don't know of any statistics or survey results on this topic. Perhaps it is the fear of the unknown? My friend, keep in mind this is only speculation on my part. Good question, buddy!
Speaking only for myself, I don't hate lesbians at all. My sister is gay, so we see her and her wife frequently and do things with them.
As for the stereotyping - we all do it because there's an element of truth to the stereotypes.
Who would you rather have decorate your house? A lesbian in a plaid Pendleton shirt, Levis and Birkenstocks or a gay boy who loves the words "amazing" and "fabulous" and has an eye for color, texture and design?
Who would you rather have help you move? My sister with her F-250 Super Duty pickup and the rolling Craftsman tool chest with every power and hand tool you could imagine (I kid you not!) or the gay boy in the Sebring convertible? Well.....okay....I'd have the gay boy pack the china, the crystal stemware and the porn collection, but I'd want the lesbians to supervise loading the U-Haul. Who's got more experience with U-Hauls than lesbians? Huh?
Am I so terrible for thinking this way? I don't think so.

CALI-P - YOUR FAMILY SOUNDS COOL! IF THE LESBIAN CAN DECORATE THEN I WILL LET HER HAVE @ IT. NAH YOU ARE NOT TERRIBLE FOR THINKING THAT WAY YOU THINK.
ReplyDeleteActually, the lesbians did okay for themselves when they decorated their house. It's not Truck-Stop Chic, thank God!
ReplyDeleteHowever when my father needed help buying furniture and decorating his place after his divorce, he came to me rather than my sister.
CALI-P - I NEED PHOTO PROOF! (KIDDING)...YOUR DAD SEEMS COOL!
