Problems of being Gay in the media
4 years ago
I've seen this play quite often a lot macho men(usually straight and or homophobic) calling gay, metro sexual men, or any male that show some emotions or sympathy towards others(they can be single mothers, drug addicts, POC etc..) or connect with nature
they also imply having gay sex makes them feminine. I've always thought of gay sex as only sex maybe each person plays a role during sex but that doesn't mean that is their entire role and personality and they don't have other things about them.
But I've always thought as human beings we all have a mix of masculine and feminine qualities hence why we can talk to each and over time understand each other.
They bring certain "manly" traits like not crying or asking for help along with sports and hunting animals to make you a man's man. These "sissy boys" need to learn to "man up"
we also see them dismiss or demean gay men's opinions and conflated to same garbage heap as any female opinions on certain topic (sports or politics)
look at gay men who play sports mocked and ridiculed and their life stories turned into jokes.

Doom Patrol does gay characters pretty good. One of the main character's Larry is gay but was an airforce test pilot in the 60s, so pretty masculine.
