Well for a long time now it hasn't been the same as it once was in here, but giving the thread a death sentence seems harsh. :< Don't worry, poor thread. I still remember the good times we had.

Reread #9 multiple times and I'm still not seeing his point. I've met many gay men who don't care for marriage, and kinda try to rain on those that want it. Particularly those who perfectly content going to bars every night for a different ***, or going to bathouses/spa's regularly.

Oh ok, so naysayers then. That's less confusing.
#3 is kinda funny in the context of the whole page. "I'm gonna speak out against the image of idealized male beauty but I'm gonna preface my article with an image of idealized male beauty."

It's a pretty serious issue that extends beyond clothing. The meth/steroid diet is pretty popular with gay men. Many are just oblivious to the consequences of meth, and only care about fitting in and achieving this perfect gay figure.

Lots of great ideas, lots of bad ideas- seems to have arrived at all of them in the same terrible way
The bit about having an aesthetic preference being racist was embarrassing

I agree in some cases it's an issue of tact, in others however, it's straight-up racism. The author is talking about people who verbalize it blatantly. If you go onto SCRUFF/GRINDR adam4adam etc... You see NO BLKs, NO AZN, NO LTN, NO WHT etc. I've even over-heard " sorry I'm not into blacks" at bars.
The best line I heard was when a guy told me " I'm not into latin men but you look white so I'll make an exception."

Delivery is atrocious, but this is hardly racist
I never have and likely never will find a black man attractive. That doesn't mean I think they're inferior, it means they possess a particular aesthetic quality that I don't find attractive. Would I childishly parade it around as a conversation piece? Of course not, because I'm not an idiot. That doesn't make the person a racist

That's why I said:
Quote: I agree in some cases it's an issue of tact, in others however, it's straight-up racism.
I've literally seen people with the same online profiles that say "not into BLKs" make comments at me for having black friends. So yes some gay men do use it as a tool for discrimination.
These are some pretty common gay lines you'll hear in West Hollywood:
"Ugh why are you going to Rage on Saturday it's Asian night"
"We don't do Factory on Thursday that's all black people"
"Oh I won't go to Circus it's ghetto, it's nothing but Mexicans"
The same people who usually blatantly list it in their m4m profiles are usually the ones who I've heard say such phrases.
Delivery is atrocious, but this is hardly racist I'm not going to comment on whether this is racist or not. To each their own.

In all fairness, a lot of people need to be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to commonplace, seemingly racist remarks like that
It takes an extraordinary degree of consideration/clarity of thought to realize that most of the things you consider to be racial prejudices are simply highly correlative
Black people not tipping as well as white people, etc.

The fact that they allegedly made an exception because of the way you look is a pretty blatant if unintentional representation of an aesthetic preference, not a racial one

Have you ever read The Autobiography of an Ex-colored Man? If not I'd highly suggest you do.

I think I'm mostly confused because I didn't realize it was possible to find Latinos unattractive.
My world is *** rocked, going somewhere to cry in a pillow.
Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
