Gay Stereotypes

John Doe · March 5, 2010

John, again I say that those who have a problem with the more effeminate (stereotypically) gay men have some issues with internalized homophobia. They are actual people with actual feelings, and they can't really help it. I'm not trying to beat you up or anything, but people are people, and they should be treated accordingly. Who knows? An effeminate gay man might even become your best friend one day or maybe something more. They need lovin' too you know.

Wynter, as far as what your friend did, that was not nice. Drinks are not gay. They are drinks. Supposedly mixed drinks are supposed to be for women and gay men, but screw that. People drink what they like to drink. I've seen women (and no not lesbians) who can drink beer like it's water and men who enjoy a good bottle of wine (some presumably straight). I find it irritating too. I think a lot of people here will share your sentiments.

Tiger, I understand that they are actual people with actual feelings, I was not implying otherwise. And you are right, people are people and they SHOULD be treated accordingly. I have treated everyone I came across with respect and politeness. Internalized homophobia? It's not internalized. I know it and I let people know it and I explain myself... which I should have done.

(I am done addresssing Tiger... This next part is my rant)

All my friends know my feelings and I have gay effeminate friends who understands, it's not like I'm hiding a secret. Many of the effeminate gays I have ever met (and that's a lot) were nothing but bad image creators. They make fun of people's appearance, disrespect people's opinions, grab random women's boobs and butts, make mean comments about others, and their excuse for doing so was they were gay so it's okay... as if it was expected. This guy in high school was effeminate and I was nice to him. I gave him rides from school becuase we had the same afterschool activity. He relied on people taking him home and he EXPECTED people to take him home. The day I did give him a ride home he complained the whole entire time. I was driving too fast. I needed to drive faster... blah blah blah. To say the least he was also mean to everyone and stated his "opinions" freely. "Oh, honey, you're getting a little chunky here." But everyone says it's okay because he's gay and gay men are opinionated. No, that shit don't fly with me. I can't tell you how many times I go to bars and my female friends gets groped by gay men. They get uncomfortable. "It's okay, I'm gay," is not an excuse and reason to grope someone. It still invades the person being grope's privacy and comfort zone. But it's taken in stride that these things are okay because the person is gay (Will &Grace moments come to mind). If a gay (and I hate to use this term because it's F-king ridiculous but it gets the point across ->) straight-acting man should do the same, there would probably be an fight. Once I was with a friend, drinking at a bar after work. This friend was very religious. He had his opinions about gay people (of where they were going after death) but he didn't let that stop him from seeing me as a person. We met near the "gay section" of town. This guy I met once for like 2 seconds walks into the bar. Yes he was effeminate. He sees me and starts talking to me. One thing lead to another and an arguement broke out. When I first introduced my friend to the gay man I made a disclaimer. "He's very religious. It was surprising he agreed to wander so close to the Sodom district." And the gay guy almost immediately ask what he thought of gay people. My friend politely declined but the other man was persistant. So my friend told him the truth. Basically we got yelled out of the bar by an angry group. But you know what we were minding our own business. My friend was being a friend. He was not rude to the person. He told the person what he believed and yet somehow he was called a hater and whatnot. Everyone in that bar probably thought it was a victory for them to chase out a "gay hating" Christian. But my friend was a man who had his opinions, but he was still my friend and he never expressed such feelings to me. We are still friends and never once has he asked me to save my soul or repent. He accepts me for who I am and I respect and accept him for who he is. So yeah because all of these "stories" I don't like effimante gay men. From my experiences, they all have been cruel, mean, harassers (mentally and physically), and everyone seems to think it's okay because of the fact that they were effeminate gay men (prime example: Perez Hilton. The douche celebrity commentator... he has a following... massive... and people love him because he's a queen bitch, but he's accepted because he's gay AND effeminate). I don't think it creates a positive image for the GLBT community. So yes, I dislike effeminate gays by association. Is it right? No. But it's not like I won't give a person a chance. I always do. Sometimes even second chances. If you disagree then fine we can agree to disagree. But it's not like I won't talk down to a person because he is effeminate... I will still treat anyone and everyone, I should ever interact with, with dignity and respect. Just because I don't like someone or something about someone does not mean I have to lose my human aspect. If it really bothers me... I'll tell you what bothers me and again you can dislike me for disliking you.

So I'm not saying there shouldn't be effeminate gay men. I'm saying there shouldn't be people with rude, bad, horribe habits and use the excuse of a being an effeminate gay man to execute their cruelty, or lack of respect. It embarasses me to know such people represent a culture and community I am lumped into. If you happen to dislike effeminate gay men just because... by all means you can dislike them, but yes you still have to treat the man with the golden respect and emotions you would want to be treated with. We all have our dislikes... no one person is golden and perfect. We all discriminate (don't try to deny that either because it's true)... just differently... whether a person's mentally or physically handicapped, or by race, creed, religious affliliation, physical appearance (fat or thin... skin tone and markings), gender, orientation, and the list goes on. It is okay? No, but sadly to say it's human nature to judge and compare. So yeah I'll give that to people. I won't expect them to change, if they do then great, and they should do the same for me. As long as everyone is being fair, treated equally, and with respect and dignity.

Well that's off my chest... so to reroute... stereotypes are bad... we all make them... and yes they are annoying... and they are wrong... but we still all make them... we still make assumptions (an "early" form of stereotypes)... and it can't be helped... people will make them... but you should address them if it bothers you...

What bothers me about stereotypes, more than anything, is the notion a few (thankfully, less and less) have that there is some "right" way to be gay. Said another way, it's the mindset that if you're gay, you're automatically X (X being some stereotypical concept.)

One that particularly bugs me; gays and shopping. There is a stereotype that all gays love shopping, have great taste, etc. Baloney. Now, I mean no offense to any that do (And I'm the first to look up someone who does have great taste and loves shopping when I need advice on the issue, such as for a story) but it drives me up the wall when it's assumed all gays do. Probably becuase I am one who absolutely does not. I utterly loathe shopping, and do it only when I can't find an excuse to go do something more fun, like going to the dentist, or dropping a brick on my foot... When I need clothes, I combine it with a grocery trip to Walmart and get it over with as fast as possible. I've been dragged along on a day-long shopping trip in a city by a gay friend, once... I'll take a root canal any day. I'll also note that a heck of a lot of straight guys love to shop, so like almost all stereotypes, this one is false.

I do like going into hardware stores sometimes, and when I'm overseas I do like going into stores to see the different things (not clothes though). So, this "Gays love to shop" stereotype drives me up the wall.

And don't get me started on track lighting... I find it very useful, in my workshop. But in my house? Yuck. But that's just me. And that's my whole point; stereotypes are almost always wrong, on many levels. Are some people stereotypical? Sure, and that's fine. The problem is when everyone gets painted with the same brush. What people (gays very much included) need to learn is that gay (or bi, or lesbian, etc) is a sexual preference, and doesn't have a damn thing to do with anything else. For most aspects of life, it's no more relevant than the color of your eyes.

I don't really fall into a specific gay stereotype. But I'm not bothered by them either. To me, what's really sad, is when gay people turn on people who actually fall into the stereotypes category just because they are the way they are. I don't care what people think of me(to some extent I do, but most of the time I don't), and I believe that people should be themselves, even if they happen to have characteristics similar to one or several stereotypes.

I hate the shopping stereotype, too, CJames...my earliest memories of shopping were day-long affairs being driven all over the county because my grandmother wanted to 'comparison-shop'...then drive all the way across the county back to the first place she saw it at... My 'skill' at shopping consists of nothing more than good luck--I walk into a sale, more often than not, and buy what I need that can take advantage of it. I also am not 'track-lighting-friendly' as the track lighting in our front hallway has on fixture that has lost contact with the track, and we have to replace the whole thing now (it was put in before we moved in, so is seriously out of date), and we have more stuff hanging on the walls to illuminate than it could accomodate...

Well this is one step too far...

You're right I have to apologize. He obviously didn't get the memo that we're all switching from track to recessed lighting.

We went from a flourescent box in the kitchen ceiling to recessed cans (dimmable flourescents), but the track light has to be replaced with another track due to construction elements within the condo.

I'm gay, so I want to rape all straight guys I meet. (And those that I don't meet I want to rape twice! )

I came out to one of my friends tonight and she told me that my former roommate (and her ex-classmate) was scared of me because he thought I'm gay.

Moreover, he is one of those "never-get-laid die-as-a-virgin" types who really repelled me... and he thought I want to rape him!

This is one of my favorites to be perfectly honest with you, I've gotten it a few times in the last couple of years, although I have no idea why.

In DADT discussions someone usually invokes an image of Marines cowering at the concept of showering in the presence of gays. Somehow, I can't quite see that.

John, again I say that those who have a problem with the more effeminate (stereotypically) gay men have some issues with internalized homophobia.

Internalized homophobia? Not!

Screamers bother me because I was among the gay men that have (literally) fought for decades to try and get gay men accepted into public. Granted, some guys are effeminate. Ok, so be it. But screamers are something else again; there's an ENORMOUS difference.

I see the screaming behavior as contrived and counterproductive. I didn't even attend the gay pride festival in Minneapolis this past weekend because it has devolved into a drag and leather show. That's not what the gay rights movement was supposed to be about. We just wanted to be treated with dignity because the vast, VAST majority of us behaved with dignity. Screaming around town is not dignified, that's more like rubbing it in people's faces.

Skylights · June 29, 2010

This thread is ugh. (no offence)

Sterotyping is ughhhhh.

Let's just be who we all want to be and you know what MOST of the things we do we AREN'T born with and yeah society affects us but that's really unavoidable. When we're all grown up "and stuff" we can get off the bandwagon and make a few observations--which can lead to more of an open mind and maybe we can realize what exactly is and isn't a social construct (and gender for the most part seems to be one). What is the point of not liking people because of a few attributes? Like come on. Life is short. Get over it. Be nice

My feelings vary. I don't mind necessarily if someone expresses a gay stereotype, especially if it is not a "negative", if they are open to discussion about it and willing to have a conversation as to pluses and minuses of that idea. If they are a type that tosses out stereotypes negatively, disdainfully and dismissively, I can very much be irritated by it. This willing to discuss and open-mindedness without confrontation or condescension is so critical to me.

Although I am hereditary wise from U.S. America, most of my times I've spent in Europe, and so have observed it from a few different angles. Both places stereotypes can be expressed, and for that matter observed, because yes I've seen the very "effeminate" mincing type, but I don't cringe in Germany the way I do when I see it in the USA, for example. Perhaps it's because I really hate stereotypes but they seem to be so negatively or dismissively treated in the US. As if they will become the object of derision or laughter. I hate it for them, though, for the most part I would support their self-expression, and in my teenage years was the self-styled bodyguard of a couple of friends who were quite effeminate or assumed to be gay.

No less amount of stereotyped statements can be said in the communities I'm involved with in Europe, but the attitude towards discussion, and sometimes correction, is by majority totally different. Whether it's gay or something else, people are generally just allowed to be themselves, whatever that is, whatever it involves without comment of disparaging heat.

I think it can be entirely dependent upon where you are and what society you live in, and that reflects how I respond to it or feel at it at the time.Gay stereotypes do not in themselves bother me, per se, but how people retain or believe those stereotypes can.

Guys with girly, high voices sometimes annoy me.

Skyline · June 29, 2010

Hmm, there seems to be a pretty strong reaction to this thread coming in from all sides. I figured I'd just throw my bit in there

Pretty much, I'll be the first to admit that I stereotype. I'll look at someone and be the first to decide if I think they're gay, straight, this, that or the other. However, I dont no let these stereotypes (to the best of my ability) interfere with how I interact with, and treat people. I cant remember wherefrom, but I remember hearing/learning (depending on what you believe ) that stereotypes are another form of vestigial structures so to speak. Basically, at one point, stereotypes were likely a form of survival mechanism. If your tribe was not friends with x tribe, and they looked like y, it would be good for your health to avoid running into more y-looking people then you could safely fight on your own. Obviously, this social dynamic/mechanic isn't especially useful these days, as you usually dont have to worry about fighting everyone simply on the basis they wear prada

Anyways, my point is, its pretty much useless to try and fight the "stereotype" gene, and it is much better to focus on the next step of the equation; making the conscious effort to say to yourself, "Despite the fact I heard gays are terrible with machines, I'm going to ask my friend whom happens to be gay for help fixing my car." People are so fixated on the stereotypes themselves, which are much more difficult to deal with. It seems to me that everyone accepting that we stereotype is a much better goal, followed by working towards combating the urge to act based on the (often false) ideas surrounding stereotypes and what they mean about the people they're attatched to.

To answer the questions raised by the OP, I can see what you mean about it being aggravating how many traits and skills one might have, are often traced back to a totally irrelevant quality you have, namely, being gay.

I have more to say on this issue, but must go for now! I shall edit later

This is interesting. Two different reactions to the same scenario? I didn't think that would be so obvious. Do you have an opinion regarding the 'why' of it? You mentioned that Europeans are just generally allowed to be themselves; however, why do you suppose the difference is so apparent?

I can have two different reactions to the same scenario, as I explained, because in one if I seriously feel the need to comment, it is most often accepted and a discussion can ensue in which both are trying to learn or at least understand something of the other's views. In the other, I just seen and experienced as a "blow off" type of situation where if you attempt to question or discuss, someone blows it off by assuming you are a "heavy" type person and oversensitive or that you're offended. Because I ask a question doesn't mean I am offended, it simply means I want to know more from that person about what their thoughts and ideas, but all too often it's assumed someone is upset or getting angry. I am just used to a society where you can ask the questions you want to ask without a label placed on your actions.

I have no exact idea why the difference can be apparent. Personally, I think partly it's because of the societies themselves, or some aspects of them. In general, in the mixed groups I circle in Europe, specifically Germany, it encompasses literally dozens of other nationalities. They're often used to interacting with people from other nationalities and beliefs and recognizing more often, to my view, there are going to be a wide range of behaviours. You can't just assume. It is much better to just ask, or one just accepts them. Perhaps its why they discuss so much, we're trying to learn about others in relation to ourselves and get rid of our stereotypical thoughts, because certainly anyone can have them, including myself. Hopefully, have someone shed a bit more light on the subjects to change those views to something closer to actual truth.

For gay stereotypes, I just remember so many mentions from visiting American friends, north and south, and quite a few of the girls would ask me about guys, or about going up to ask one out on a date for example. They knew about Berlin being quite open and gay, but they assumed most guys they came across to be straight, because they didn't "look or act stereotypically gay". Well, I said, you really can't go by that here. Individuality is very highly regarded. You don't have to go out of your way to prove you are gay, or make a defense of yourself if you happen to look "straight" LOL The "you don't look/act gay" are really very rare comments.

I make a couple of ideas, but it's not all inclusive by any means. When I've been in the USA, though sometimes there was really no kind of negativity in the comments, the stereotypes were held as being factual because someone they knew had told them so. Sociologically speaking that is a common thing as far as the research goes. There were so many more people just willing to let stereotypes go uncorrected, and became offended if you even said anything. So many said they wanted the stereotyping to go away but weren't willing to stand up for it. And consider the standing up for as normal.

I guess to me anyway, it is just the willing to discuss and modify the wrong ideas which generate stereotypes people wrongly choose to keep. Exceptions in every case. I've lived between the two continents so long now, and have discussed it so often on each side, I can't really explain it in depth here to reply to your question fully, I'm sorry.

P.S. Just reading another comment, another idea came to me. The dynamics of certain places like the USA, for example, because it is so heavily religion based and focused with majority being Christians, and the connotations of shame and wrongdoing still attached to homosexuality, some became more exaggerated or fierce in their displays to press equality. Stereotypes were more reinforced perhaps. Then in combination with the "less likely" to discuss and reevaluate the idea, it causes the apparent differences.

Somewhat off topic but related:

I'm afraid religion is becoming a problem for many people in many places. People seem to think now that if someone disagrees or believes something different that it's ok to blow them up.

Most people can be fitted into a pigeonhole if we push hard enough. Stereotyping can be easy if we don't look too closely...

I know effeminate straight men and I know very masculine gay men. I know very masculine women for that matter. Straight women. My straight brother-in-law hates sports and my gay best friend is an absolute lunatic when he's watching football. I sort of like the see-through shorts but even that loses its appeal after a few minutes.

Soccer and basketball used to interest me - back when shorts were short, and men's legs were hairy, not smooth and shiny like my sister's legs. But I digress...
