That's Gay: Johnny Weir

what is wrong about being strait, and acting effeminate?

Homosexuals aren't in it for your respect. You can be straight and tasteful and just the opposite. Plenty of slobs all around the sexuality board.

"(and note that even women don't act the way these guys do). " then a gay man isn't acting like a woman.

Why not ask a gay man why he acts the way he does? Why even have a problem with it? Honestly, I want to know!

To be frank, (and maybe dramatically make a point) I find heterosexual men the greatest annoyance of my big gay life. I deal with it, yo.

he's in the f-ing olympics! he's on national television! he's an athletic rockstar! you bet your buttcheeks it's a show for now, but he's the same man when he goes off the air after these weeks are up. (though I assume it's mroe than a couple weeks... I think he has a show now??)

Alright I won't comment on your posts on THIS story any more.

This is such a long chain of comments, I'm not sure how to properly address everything and still make sense so I'll just rant a little. I love gay people. They break all the gender roles that I find so irritating. I've seen guys hit femininity more squarely on the head then any female, I've seen chicks I thought might rape me and I hope that somehow between the two that maybe one day, when I tell people that I work in a restaurant, they won't automatically assume I'm a waitress (line cook assholes). I hope people won't think that I can't lift more than 20lbs and that in a few years they might believe me when I say that I can do 30 push-ups in 60 seconds without being on my knees in the typical "girly" fashion. I can take out my own trash and carry my own heavy items up a few flights of stairs. I can kick your asses (boys) because you expect me to "hit like girl". So when I beat you up and you fall on your fat behind you may be able to get away with saying I sucker punched you when all reality, I just punched a sucker.
And FYI, I like penis.

The line about suckerpunching/punching a sucker is brilliant.

Generally speaking, I don't understand how gay people acting outside basic roles of gender could relate to how people are treated in any way but positively. By not conforming, the true diversity in personality and disposition between people the world over would shine through, and then no one would be able to assume the nature of people based on some superficial characteristics. Getting to know people isn't THAT much of a chore.

I think the main problem here is that it's hard to realize that flamboyancy in males and butchness in females is not always an act. Sometimes it's just how people are. Personally I'm uncomfortable around anyone of any sex who is too masculine or feminine, but if that's how someone acts regardless of societal pressures (or at least with societal pressures as minimum as possible), then how could I hold their personality against them? The less we try to make people easier to understand and the same, the happier people will be when they're free to create their own identity and do what they want without stupid assumptions following them.

And my earlier comments about wanting to be more like Johnny wasn't so ... severe. I definitely behave as true to myself as possible most of the time. But in some instances I don't want to be a bother, and it's sad. Other times I like pretending to be more masculine and use it as a form of intimidation. Mostly because I don't understand how that works. But most generally my behavior is on a pretty extreme sliding scale, though it all makes sense to my friends. The point is to not have to think about your disposition so much. And it's happening.

"You say that you find it irritating that homosexual people break gender roles,"

i think you misread her comment

haha I totally did! Which is why... hah. Awesome. Edit time. Thanks for pointing it out P:
