I'm sorry, but what constitutes masculinity is almost universally the same anywhere you go. Ask anyone walking down the street what masculinity means and you will most likely get the same answers over and over again. Its a very narrow definition, and not considered all that broad by the general public. Now whether that is right or wrong is a matter of opinion. Also, just because a gay guy is masculine does not mean he is insecure or trying to become straight. I hate the fact that some of the more effeminate gays criticize more "straight acting" gay guys for supposedly looking down on the more campy gays, yet they turn around on us and say "oh he's not one of us, he's a traitor". Some of us were raised in environments where being "campy" was not an acceptable choice. I was raised in a very competitive environment where the strong got ahead and the weak and "un-manly" got left behind. I learned from a young age how to act and what I had to do to get ahead. I learned to become competitive and to do what I had to to get to the top and become the best. I never saw the effeminate, "gay acting" guys get there, but the masculine, "straight" ones always did. So I molded myself accordingly and got to where I am today because of it. Do I sometimes look at effeminate guys with a glaring eye? Yes, I do sometimes because they perpetuate the stereotype that brings us all down. Do I think that they should not be allowed to be like that? Of course not, be however you wanna be, but its not me at all.
