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:
