Please stop stereotyping us like this. We are not all a bunch of fucking Queer Eye characters.

Omg I hated that show… I’d like that saw the bit in Queer as Folk that was amazing at being super critical of commercializing gayness and they decided to make a show out of it like “wait, but what if we could actually make a shit ton of money off of stereotypes?”

That's fine, but having heard so many times from openly gay people statements like the following, and I quote,

"Gay."

"That is SO gay."

"Gay."

"Gay!"

"Oh. Yeah. Gay."

. . . you have to accept that at a certain level of commentary, the call is coming from inside the house.

TL;DR: I don't know what looks gay because I am some self-proclaimed cis-het expert on gayness; I know what might look gay because I was personally tutored by obviously authentic experts in the field. Just sayin.

Gay folks can be edgy shitheads too, though. I would not let any of my queer friends get away with using the word "gay" as a pejorative. I'm not asking that you push back against them, just understand why I choose to do even if you don't.

Oh, it's not used as a pejorative, at least not in my presence. It's more like the number signs judges used to hold up at the Olympics, but in regard to looks, behavior, and fashion, and spoken well out of earshot of the subject of the commentary (also, occasionally sung: "Gaaaaaayyyy!").

I absolutely push back against homophobia, but this ain't that. As far as I know this is just recreational sport, and probably only happening because I am there. I doubt they do this among themselves, lol.
