Or,<\/p>\n
All dressed up in gayface.<\/p>\n
I can’t understand why more people don’t find Queer Eye<\/a> offensive. I have many gay friends, and so far none of them have openly voiced an opinion of this thing one way or the other. Most of the straight folks I know think the show is a riot. I understand that it may represent a step forward for the community by helping establish gay culture as apart of overall American culture and not a closeted or in some way deviant life style. But frankly, the insinuation that as a straight man I don’t know how to dress my self is a little insulting. I look good, most of the time, and I loves me the women. I have known gay men in the past who couldn’t dress themselves without their mammas, though I admit most of my gay friends now have a pretty good fashion sense. Except Brad, but he’s funny, so he gets off clean. Love Brad to death, but he looks like the gay man’s Dave Attell. Also, I get a little miffed by the women I meet who think things like, “Wow that is a great suit you’re wearing, Jeff. I bet your boyfriend thinks you look great in it.” I don’t begrudge anyone their sexual preference as long as what you like to fuck isn’t a child or someone that doesn’t want to be fucked. Go nuts, all of you, really, I don’t mind. But please don’t make unreasonable assumptions about me because the five funny guys on TV teach you that only gay men know how to properly iron their own clothes.<\/p>\n So far, the only guy out there that I can find who thinks, like I do, that if the show were called “Black eye for the White guy” that suddenly everyone would get why it’s really a bit degrading is openly gay Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, who said (quoted from Newsweek), “The notion that gay men have a superior fashion sense is not true, and it’s damaging…..It’s perfectly possible to enjoy that show and say, ‘Look at those clever homosexuals – what they do with hair!’ And not support gays at all.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Or, All dressed up in gayface.
