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

DavidMn · #1 08-16-2005, 08:13 PM

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.

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.

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

No, sadly he had nothing to do with anything.

What's this talk of a line?

Well, ****, sweetie- here's your official welcome to the greatest club on the planet.

You are going to be a man-killer once you're no longer jailbait!

Yay, I feel so honored!

Jailbait...that word makes me sound so filthy.

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...

[/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......
