Why does every gay man HAVE to love Cher or Madonna?
 

I was at our local gay establishment the other night here in town called The Saloon, and I got into a conversation with someone about "being gay." The bar was throwing a Madonna birthday party, and I told him that it really didnt have much interest for me. He retorted, "How can you be gay and not love Madonna or Cher?" It really made me mad, and this goes for everyone, straight or gay. Where has the individualism gone? I'm not criticizing anyone who is a big fan of either lady, I actually dont mind them, but this whole notion of every gay man having to do this or look like that really irks me. My interest in Stevie for example has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a homosexual. It's because she has touched my heart, nothing else. I dont try to be anyone but myself, and if that's not good enough for people, too bad, I'm not sacrificing my soul for someones idea of what I should be. :nod:

I've asked the same before.I have no explanation. Just because I'm gay and happen to like Madonna, it doesnt mean those things are connected. :shrug:

Excellent point.

Well, I guess it is the same thing with straight guys. How can you be a straight man and not love watching sports?

How can you be a straight woman and not love shopping for shoes?

It's not just gay men that get stereotyped. It's everyone...

i agree w/ you~

Well I'm gay and I like to watch sports. Go figure. :shrug: :laugh:

[QUOTE=ryan8472]Well I'm gay and I like to watch sports. Go figure. :shrug: :laugh:[/Q That's cool. I am as much of a baseball nut as I am Fleetwood Mac almost. And even though I'm from Minnesota, I'm about the Biggest Boston Red Sox fan you'll find anywhere, go figure once again...... :p

I've always found that interesting about you. It's a good thing- you break the mold!

[QUOTE=DavidMn] Well yeah. Stereotypes suck. Period.

and I'm straight and I like to watch sports! :laugh:

BTW, Davidmn, if you just hit the reply button of whoever you are trying to quote, it should come out a little better. :) :D

I'm a straight woman and I despise shoe shopping. In fact, I hate shoes all together! My world would be a better place without them.

Yankees all the way!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :laugh:

...Thanks...I guess I'm just a freak. :laugh:

SOrry. You can probably tell I'm not that good around computers huh? LoL :confused:

...well....many gay men love camp and outrageousness. Madonna and Cher are campy and outrageous, alot. It's that simple. I...don't much care for Cher, and am quite burnt out.....I live next to a gay bar, and I hear Cher blaring off of their patio at least 12-18 times a day. No joke. At least 6 of those 12-18 times is the song Believe. :rolleyes:

oh, not at all...I just thought...uh... :D... just trying to help.

how many remixes of Believe are there? :shocked:

Sports are universal. Maybe it's the inferiority thing that some gay men detest about sports. I've pretty much gotten over the fact that I suck, and I now have just as much fun watching people play instead of me. :nod: :laugh:

Nor problem, its all good. :) Believe me, it takes alot more than that to upset me

inferiority thing? :confused: but tons of straight guys aren't good and still like to watch....I dunno...and, I suspect there are more gay sports lovers than we know. ;)

I've missed something. :confused:


Oh, and I don't like Cher....Madonna's alright...not a fav or anything.

It may be time to move!

I like Cher but not 24 hours a day!

Perhaps. What I was talking about was maybe some guys feel like weaklings when watching all these fit, ripped sports stars. I would hope this isnt the case, because as we all know, most people arent that freakishly talented. :laugh:

What would that be? :shrug:

I'm not a Cher fan either. I <3 Madonna tho. But, as we are talking about, that has nothing to do with being gay.

oh, maybe you're right. Hey, don't ask me, what I don't know about gay men could fill a book. :)

Being gay. I just thought you were straight with gay tendencies towards hot celebrities. :cool:

IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME ONE. :eek:

No, just plain gay. :p :laugh:

Women, who needs em? Oh I forgot, we do need them to create more delicious men........ :rolleyes: :woohoo:

God, I'm getting a little outta control here. time for a sdeative.....

:lol: :laugh: :lol: :laugh:

God, to be a straight woman around here. No possibilities. :laugh: And I love sports, too. :wavey:

Of course not, honey- that wouldn't leave any time for soap operas....

plus, someone to ignore here on the ledge. :lol: ;)

So, now you're totally gay, eh? :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

*bray, cackle*

That only took another two or three months. Excellent progress, if you ask me.

Oh, thank you for reminding me! I haven't watched Passions yet today! I better go pop in my tape.

:)

I've decided so. :lol:

Straight men love camp and outrageousness, too, they just won't admit it for being of being considered a fag. Just like they won't ever admit to being submissive in the bedroom with their wives or girlfriends because they think other men will think they're less masculine.
