flamboyantly gay men really annoy the hell out of me

[The Notorious LOL]

chill with that shit, butt pirate.

Holy crap, don't even get me started. My friend who's gay used to be super-awesome. We'd play video games and watch hockey and go get a tub of cool whip and eat it in the grocery store parking lot with a spoon.

Now he wants to go shopping, go clubbing, drink, and call himself a 'diva.' That's right. He calls himself a diva. He got such a yelling at by me. He just hangs around his gay friends instead of me, and they've rubbed off on him. He always says "Mmmm, do ya love it?" and "She's a tranny," and other stupid things. They think it's funny to call everything a tranny...like, EVERYTHING. Tranny this, tranny that, tranny, tranny, tranny. Tranny isn't a funny word! Cunt is a funny word! Tranny is a gay word!

</rant>

I miss my friend. :(

[Lex Diamonds]

Leave DroppinScience alone, guys. :(

[QueenAdrock]

He's not that flamboyant.

[The Notorious LOL]

I knew a dude in high school whom once he came out of the closet, suddenly developed a lisp.

[Documad]

Why?

[b i o n i c]

we had a thread about it before. i think no matter whether the person is gay or no, its those overly exaggerated characters that people put on that just seem inauthentic. sometimes it is authentic, other times it just seems artificial

[Lex Diamonds]

There was this nerd in the year above at my school and once he hit my friend so my friend punched him a few times and broke his glasses and then a year later when we had left we found out he came out of closet and was forced into leaving the school. I felt kinda bad about it.

[Tone Capone]

Lady boys in Thailand are the funniest to watch because they exagerate EVERY SINGLE womanly characteristic they can. Like if a woman shakes her head twice for yes then a lady boy would shake his/her head 4 times. They look like big tall clowns they are kinda break dancing but want to be taken seriously. Seriously, if you ever get a chance to watch some just hanging out do it, it's HILARIOUS!!!

[ScarySquirrel]

My roommates seem to insist that there's something gay people go through when they come out... they call it "new gay." Basically, from the way they explain it, this is the stage where the gay dude who has been closeted for so long goes around and explores all the things that there are to explore in the gay culture.

After a little while of this, eventually the new gays all settle down and become normal members of society again once they've discovered what kind of person they really are. It sounds to me like it's kind of like going through middle school again when you're that little asshole and change every week because you don't know who you are... which makes sense to me on some level because if you've lived your life as something completely different than what you really are, you're probably unsure of who exactly you are.

That's my take on it, at least. Or what I think I understand.

But yeah, they bug the piss out of me too. Like Carson on 'Queer Eye for a Straight Guy.' He can fuck off.

[b i o n i c]

i love carson kresley. he's a big exception to the rule, because the flamboyancy does seem authentic on him.

[Dorothy Wood]

my boss' boyfriend is the best kind of gay. he's very preppy and short, and is cute in a generic boyish way. he giggles a lot, but sometimes he can also get really mad and starts yelling at people on the phone. he loves jason mraz. he's very sensible, but when he gets drunk, he hugs you a lot and smiles so big you don't know whether to squeeze him or punch him. like a puppy. he's an investment banker.

[Dorothy Wood]

oh! but there's this sales rep that was in yesterday who is gay. I met him back when I worked at a different store, and he seemed gay, but not SUPER gay. well, now that I work for homos, when he comes in he's all, GAY GAY GAY! and I think my boss thinks it's annoying too. like, he had to do some stuff in the closet and said, "WELL, I GUESS I HAVE TO GO BACK IN THE CLOSET! LOL" and I was like, "haaaaah". :rolleyes:

anyway, I don't mind. I've always liked the gays...maybe it's all the Kids in the Hall I watched as a kid.

[QueenAdrock]

You and me are going to be doing push-ups, ALL DAY! You and me, ALL DAY!

DO YOU FIND THAT FUNNY SOLDIER?

No, sir!

Well just for that you will be doing these push-ups LYING ON YOUR BACK! You will discover muscles you didn't even know you had! BIIIIG muscles....HAAARD muscles!

OHHH YES SIR!

[skra75]

I went to a local bar with my boss and my sketchbook and there were these two gay guys there at the bar too and I was drawing and shit drinking a beer mindin my own business and they were all up on me like:

Oh My Gowwwdd. You Are SOOO Talentiiiid. Oh My Gowwwdd, your big marker is SOO stinky but it's a good smell here let me borrow it so I can have a Whiff.

It made me unconfortable because it was clear they were running game on me and I'm thinking "jesus, do I look gay?". And then I got all insecure and it sucked.

Yeah I have a few gay friends and I work with gay guys but they aren't the flamboyantly gay sort. Those people seem like they are in a school play all the time, it stresses me out.

[abcdefz]

I get pretty annoyed with anyone who seems like they're wilfully conforming to their expected stereotype. Anyone in the uniform of their clique -- that kinda bugs me, though it's none of my business.

[Tone Capone]

i love carson kresley. he's a big exception to the rule, because the flamboyancy does seem authentic on him.

True but if the other 4 were like that, I couldn't watch the show...
then I would never know that it's okay to mix patterns as long as you match colors :cool:

[abcdefz]

...for what it's worth, flamboyantly heterosexual people bug me, too.

[Yeti]

Last night I heated up some spinach quiche and watched Dancing with the Stars. I kept thinking a huge can of beer was going to fall on my head.

[Dr Deaf]

THATS HOT, WHATEVER.

[Yeti]

Tonight I might watch Project Runway and make a casserole.

[DandyFop]

I know a LOT of gay guys but most of them don't seem flamboyant to me. I don't know, they talk, dress, in a certain way, sing showtunes at karaoke, dress like Carrie Bradshaw for Halloween, but don't seem super flamboyant to me.

At a going away party the other night for a gay guy friend of mine, I realized suddenly that the only 2 straight guys there were my boyfriend and my other friend...out of probably 30 guys. Hah.

[Yeti]

Nah, thats not gay:eek:

[DandyFop]

That's what I'm saying though, it's all way gay stuff, but they aren't necessarily "flamboyant". Maybe it's just that I'm used to it? I don't know.

[Bob]

Why?

yeah same.

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

To be honest, i dont mind it. My best friend is gay and I love him to death. I couldnt imagine my life without him. He has good taste in fashion, and loves to go shopping, he can give me GOOD advice about guys, he's the best. I dont mind that he can be flamboyant. I kinda like it to be honest, i think it's cute.

What can I say? Im a fag hag. Lol. (y)

[Planetary]

sure are lol! ^.^

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

My uncle calls me and my best friend Will and Grace.

Im starting a group called the Fag Hag's. Strait women who love Gay men. We've got jackets...

[Planetary]

excellent.

[Lex Diamonds]

^ lol

This thread reminds me of the last episode in Series 1 of Extras. If you haven't seen it then you're a flamboyant gay and should check it out.


"Look, just put up with him for two months longer, and you'll never see him again."

"Oh. AIDS, is it?"

"What??"

"He's got AIDS?"

"No, I mean til you've finished writing the sitcom."

jackets are always good i suppose....

[na§tee]

ugh, r-kiss, please don't label yourself a fag hag. it is so offensive and yack. fag hags sort of demotes the "fag" as a little sparkly accessory that the "hags" just play with and talk about boys and all the "faggy" things they can do together.

i hate it when people call me that. it's like, dude.. my flatmates are gay and so by association they have many gay friends/partners who are also my friends, and their sexuality is not their defining factor. i would never say "oh my straight friend tom" so why do people describe them as "oh scott, you know, the gay guy...?" i would much rather it would be "scott, the amazing musician" or "scott, the short guy with the awesome fringe" or what not. it's not all fucking will & grace, you know.

none of the people i know are "flamboyant" but i can understand, sometimes, the people who may choose to act like that. if you've struggled with part of your identity which has been looked down upon for so long and then finally you come to terms with it, why not celebrate it by being this sort of parody of yourself? it's almost a big diva middle finger up to the oppressors. but, yes, there are people who do this way too aggressively when people nowadays are more like "meh, so you're gay. i'm over it already!"
