He’s Gay, Y’Know
| I was standing in front of a bank of newspaper machines trying to glean as much top fold news as I could without spending any change, when I saw two guys squinting at a picture of some Canadian celebrity.
One says in his most deriding voice to the other, “He’s gay, y’know.” And I’m thinking, what’s his point? The fact that a guy is gay only really matters to women and other gay men. Women should know so they don’t waste their time chasing their own tails, so to speak. Gay men should know so they can chase tails. But straight guys have no dog in this race. Maybe it’s good to know that the gay fellow isn’t a threat to steal away your woman. Your own homophobia may accomplish that on its own, if your woman is sufficiently fair-minded. It’s only conjecture on my part, but if it was a female celebrity of lesbian tendencies, these lumberjack-offs might very well have a more positive take. “She’s a lesbo,” wink wink, nudge nudge. A lot of guys like lesbians, especially the “hot” ones. I know, it makes no sense whatsoever. At least on the surface. Take the porn aspect, for instance. Guys aren’t checking out the guy in the porn video. They’re studying the female. If two females are going at it, well, that’s twice the substance for the same price of admission. Yet many of these same guys have a problem with the more masculine lesbians. This is yet another situation of no dogs in the race. Lesbians aren’t in competition with straight guys, and pose no threat to straight women. So what’s the problem? Seriously. Jim Lawter |
