Yeah, this does annoy me too.
Just be humans, dumbasses. It's really quite simple.

Not all gay white men are tyler oakley...it just annoys me that if someone read the profile "gay white male" they would assume this...in the same way it should offend a black woman that the immediate assumption would be "ratchet queen of sass" or something (which is what this article implies)

It goes back to what I always say, white people like to take everything. These days, they even want to take the feeling of being oppressed. 
(waits for all the offended white people to come for me)

Anyways the point is that when white gays act like all black woman are the same (loud, sassy,etc.), there is no difference to when women act like all gay guys are the same (flamboyant, love shopping, etc.). You're not treating them like human beings, you're treating them like a stereotyped generalized mass.

Don't generalize then. You're better than that.

If you have an issue with the article, address it.
Don't try to be petty and drag the woman's looks when you should be discuss the point she has brought up.

I don't get it
No offense, but I think there's more important issues than this. How about representation of WOC or the gender wage gap.

Honestly though. I know it's incredibly idealistic and borderline hippy, but why can't we just be the people we are meant to be? Just be a human being rather than subscribing to the standards of a group. It's all just so silly when it all boils down to it.

Perez is different he's just a dumbass that provokes people and should in no way ever represent the LGBT community in any way ever.

Like most ATRLers, I'm a gay white male and that girl just spilled 100% definitive truth. I have noticed many gay white men increasingly behaving and speaking like black female caricatures, especially when they're drinking and partying. I've seen people do it in front of black women, and it's incredibly uncomfortable to the point of being minstrel-esque. The influence of drag culture is a big part of it - and I understand it's fun to hide yourself in exaggerated characters - but it has taken on the form of cultural mockery.

A Tyler Oakley/Shane Dawson tea.
I agree with this though, it makes sense.

This is true.
