Yes, gay culture is represented as flamboyant and overly sexual.

You say, 'everything is sexualized,' but the ramifications are different. Heterosexuals have had years to adjust/re-adjust to their norms, values, and dynamics. Whether it is waiting until marriage or the stigma attached to having multiple sex partners, it is not expected for heterosexuals to **** around their entire existence. The appeal of sex in the media may be brought in to appear sexy and cool for straights, but society still expects the nuclear family.

Where as with homosexuals we're expected to alone or die of AIDS. We don't have a sense of family portrayed in the media in comparison to our straight counterparts. We don't have those norms or values possibly because we're told it is wrong to embrace our sexuality period. Like someone said, gay culture is still developing. Sexual activity among the same sex may have been around for a long time, but being an open community that is embraced is either new or foreign.

Lesbians are often depicted as attractive or two attractive friends experimenting. I'm not a girl/lesbian, but I get the feeling lesbian relationships aren't validated outside the gay community and the non-stereotypical ones are mocked much like gay men

My two dollars

Man...


Let me remind you of the question.

and this was your reply:

You basically equivocated a historical tradition and other things with the subject at hand, when they really dont match up at all. It came off like you didnt really know any better. *shrugs*

Mess. Jamaicans being scapegoated. You can't include them. They are..... a different species.

Let's not forget Grindr too.That DEFINITELY aint helping ****.

Why did you report me tho? I weren't even being serious

Yup, so sick of gay men talking about **** all the time.

Sure, but it's all fun and games.

Very interesting thread

This is my answer:

True.

what is "gay culture"? We're all just humans. people group homosexuals as if they are some species. They don't have their own "culture"

But for the purpose of this question, Humans are over sexualised in general. although, people outside the "gay community" do look down upon gays and think they are attracted to every single male on the planet (or for lesbians, females), and will perv on them, etc. That's from personal experiences, and there are so many idiots who think **** like this. So I guess so yes, but I don't think that's they portray themselves, it's how other portray them.
