This kind of reminds me of a topic I brought up with my lesbian/hippy sister a few months ago.
So anyways, in one of my discussions with her trying to get under her skin (remember: I go out of my way to do this to my sister a lot) I was commenting on how I'm of the impression that Gay Pride parades were really detrimental to what they were trying to accomplish. Rather than being a chance to gain acceptance for the community by showing how they're just everyday people with a different sexual preference (I like really skinny girls and some people find that sick), they have a pretty high profile focus on dudes in leather chaps. While that wouldn't be bad if it was a Dude in Leather Chaps Pride parade, having that be such a large part of the Gay Pride parades is kind of detrimental in that who the fuck likes dudes in leather chaps except other dudes in leather chaps? It's hard to meet a lawyer and decide you dislike him because he loves dudes all over him when you only fuck blondes or whatever your thing is, but it's really easy to look at some mother fucker dressed up like some Village People reject and decide he's a fucking tool.
Ah, yes, but you can't judge an entire community based upon the fashion style of a small segment of it can you? No, but here's the thing: For whatever reason, all the high profile homosexuals in modern culture are generally unlikeable. It would be easy to blame this on hollywood, but it isn't hollywood. It's almost like it's gay culture itself being attracted to these retards.
Take Youtube. You have this fucking clown, that guy that does nothing but talk about fashion while throwing out tons of stereotypical gay mannerisms, Perez Hilton, some dude that has his face pierced like an emo, and that What the Buck guy who appears to actually be a normal homosexual until he stars flailing his hands about, talking in a lisp, and only talks about what celebrities are doing. Really, is there no one else? Is there not one motherfucker out there sitting there in a t-shirt and jeans he bought at a department store talking about his boyfriend problems? Instead, we get a bunch of fake, superficial, shallow, group-thinking idiots who are overly concerned with the insignificant representing gay culture and no one (to my knowledge) that's part of gay culture actually kind of stepping up to the plate and calling them out of their bullshit intellectually devoid and empty lifestyles.
I have no problem accepting someone's sexual preference; we all have them. If you like to fuck fat chicks, like to fuck the same sex, like to fuck people with one legs, whatever. Whatever two consensual adults want to do behind closed doors is cool, but at the same time you have to understand if you act like a tool I'm going to think you're a tool whether you be gay or straight. If you're a guy and you wear lipstick I'm going to think you either want attention, are trying to rock the boat, or generally aren't happy with who you really are and so you're trying to artificially change that. That's fine, but I'm going to judge you just like I'm going to judge a short guy who wears lifts or someone who gets a purely cosmetic nose job as being mentally weak. It makes me an asshole but doesn't make me a homophobe.
Fucking the same sex isn't all of a sudden a blank cheque to walk around like a douche, and some people need to drop their overly PC worrying and learn to differentiate the fact that I think someone's a jackass because of the way you dress or act instead of what you want to do to someone of the same sex. And it shouldn't be any less or more socially acceptable for me to hold that against you than the fact that I hold retarded neck tattoos and flat brimmed hats against retarded MMA fans.
