I don't want to start a fight, and I hope I don't get warned for this but, I just need to let this out of my system.

Seriously? Why are some of you gays acting as if feminine gays like me, and other are the bains of this earth? You're acting as if we're diseased, as if we're ****, as if we're worthless. You're acting as if we shouldn't exist on this planet. Do you know how hurtful this is? And all these comments, coming from another gay guy who is complaining, and who is protesting about gay rights, when they need to fix their internal homophobia first.

If they're not your type, just say you don't prefer them, just say they're not what you're looking for. Words matter, fix your diction. You don't need to say all these bad things about them.

I admit, I love sexy guys too, but that doesn't mean I hate "queens" like myself.

All these "straight acting" guys are probably even more flaming than all the open queens out there. They're probably too ashamed to be themselves, so they hide their true selves in order not to be seen by the public in fear of discrimination.

I mean, saying that you all want straight acting guys because they're supposed to act that manly or masculine is just as bad as ignorant straight people saying all gays have to act gay. Like, get some senses people.

If you guys are wondering, if it wasn't for queen stereotypes, you wouldn't have your gay rights today. It's because of our stereotypes that you guys can go out there and be free, and enjoy the gay life.

Please, the next time you say something. Think before you speak.

im feminine and tbh theres a point where it becomes embaressing and messy

I mean... That's a lot of that in the gay community in general though. It's not an ATRL thing.

I don't discriminate and find it attractive sometimes. I merely like anyone nice and my type.

I agree!!! It annoys me a lot.

It's called having a type, get over it.

I think its a preference. I don't like flamboyant people in general (guys and girls), I'm a very low-key person, who hates attention. People like that are my opposite in a way. I just don't like when people (notice how I say people and not be gender specific) act that way, it annoys me so much. I just happen to be a boyish person.

I don't care what you are, as long you don't act like Jeffree Star we're cool.
His personality make's me want to rip my fingernails out of my nailbed.
I see you're point but I predict this thread getting really messy

Shut up & stop crying.

There's nothing wrong with not being attracted to fem guys, but to say you don't want to associate with them or they're attention seekers or something is ignorant

There's a difference between having a type, and not preferring something because you find them "disgusting".

Exactly my point! Why are some people like these.

+1

Straight-acting does not equate to being masculine. The poorest choice of words, objectively--when they claim to be as such. Those type of guys can **** OFF.

But that's rather embarrassing.
I'm gay and masculine (not straight acting, because it's not an act), and the majority of gay community is like that.
But there is a very loud and visible minority of gays that are very flamboyant and feminine and act like drama queen, who give rest of the community a bad name and lots of hate and stereotypes.


But anyway, like someone once said (can't remember who) that we should all be thankful to the queens because they were always the most vocal when it came to gay rights issues and weren't afraid to protest and demand equality, where as the less "visible" homos won't do much because they have a choice of "blending in".

Unfortunately thats how some are. not just an ATRL thing.

I have some friends who are "effeminate," and flamboyant, but I am picky about the people I make friends with, both gay and straight.

I'm only going to be friends with a loud queen if they're hilarious and fun, not trashy and bitchy. That's the way it is.

Well calling somebody disgusting because they are feminine isn't right, but not being attracted to somebody because of a certain personality trait or whatever is human nature.

Because they don't understand people really are born that way
