And I'm saying it's completely moronic to take any sort of non-traditional masculine expression as a clue someone is gay. The only clue that lets you know someone is gay is if they are sexually attracted to the same sex. That is what being gay is. Being gay is not being fashionable, it is not having an interest in interior design, it is not wearing mascara, and it is not being a talented singer or dancer.
I dunno man, I've got the worst gaydar on the face of the Earth.

So if you saw two fellas kissing you'd smile and think, "That's an interesting fraternity initiation."
 
Actually... has anyone mentioned Ricky Martin, in any context, over the last few years? This is the first time I've heard anything about him since 2006 I think.
I've heard a couple of late night jokes lately at his expense. And Baba Wawa just had her last Oscar Special, and showed the clip where she cornered him about if he was gay and he would not answer it.

I think he wanted the joking to go away.

You know Cajun, you've almost hit the nail on the head. Then again a person's sexuality isn't really the most important thing to me...
 
I for one, being sober now, realize that I still don't care if he's gay or not.

For that matter, unless they are naked and laying in bed with me, I don't care if anyone is gay or not.

Yes. All men that sing, dance, and wear tightly-fitted clothes are gay.
I'm wondering if I missed a post where someone used that ol' stereotype and you are rebutting? (rebuttelizing? butane? what?).

That Justin Timberlake better not be gay. I love that boy. Love. Him.

I was kinda wondering the same thing. I thought the allegations were that Ricky never had a girlfriend, was sighted with men etc...

I'm lost about this, too. Society's gaydar apparently correctly identified Ricky Martin, yet for that we are all homophobes. I don't understand Chuck's thinking here.

Um no. You can spot a flamboyant gay person by pure looks alone from a mile and a half. You're the one who's "completely wrong".
 
:explode:

1.) Of course there are no absolutes.
2.) There is probably a pretty significant correlation between the style of clothing (or amount of makeup, if you like) men wear and their professed sexuality. It is probably not a 100% relationship but it is probably a real one.
 
Of the two gay dudes I know IRL:

1) Neither of them look gay.
2) Only one of 'em talks gay.

The other one is a splinter cell, as we've joked about before.

But what if they're just metrosexual?
 
I hope someone didn't accuse me of being prejudiced towards gay people by starting this thread, because the irony of that would be DELICIOUS.

You're such a homophobe, you're afraid to ask a guy out on a date.[/QUOTE]

Funny you should mention that, there is a guy at work that I think is gay and I think may like me, but I'm too much of a pansy to do anything.... sigh... such is life.

Eh, probably for the best. I've found co-worker relationships are a good way to cause trouble at work.

I think it is kinda funny that Chuck is calling out two gay people on how to spot gay people. Like I said earlier, I'm terrible at figuring out if someone's gay, but it's mainly due to not really giving a shit about it.
 
I really didn't pay enough attention to Mr. Martin (if you're nasty) to wonder if we was gay or not, so the net effect of this is just furthering my belief that I'm never going to be truly living la vida loca. :(

I clicked on this thread thinking....."Wow. That is cool. Ricky Martin to totally happy. Good for him. I think he needs to be happy. You dont see enough happiness in the world. I am glad Halforums has come around and started putting threads up on happiness. Good for this place. Water is wet too. I am glad I found this out because I really wasnt sure. Good news all around. Halforums should totally turn gay. I think it is about time."

After reading the thread......No further comment.

Not that theres anything wrong with that.

;)
