He's a funny sob, just a picture of him makes me chuckle.

I wasn't intending to diss flamboyant gay people specifically, so much as people who believe you have to adopt a specific set of predetermined traits/stereotypes in order to "be" gay/christian/muslim/pretty/black/white/rich/poor/whatever.

Like I said, I just adopted that typical trait/stereotype of those with somewhere-above-average intelligence, aka arrogant assiness, without even realizing it.
Interesting...to me, anyway.
I didn't know I was one of the pack-monkeys, but, apparently, it's part of our DNA.

Ok...for the record...I don't like anyone that looks like a football player in something that looks like my grandma's military, sequin ball-gown, lip-synching to progressive house. In fact...I don't care for lip-synchers..I think it's a little strange and creepy. Unless it's a 12 year old with head-phones on..then it's kind of funny.

I don't care what a guys wears. He won't be in it for long if he's at my place.

Good one Sheldon.
I think you just lost a gay stripe. (If you were a part of my gay army)

Here is an interesting thing about homosexuality and animals, and it does raise questions if homosexuality is a choice (as some believe)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RlTAyNI8WE

delving into the realms of offtopicness,

Rule number 8 of Rauls rules regarding wikipedia:

Wikipedia has a disproportionately large number of gays, transgendered, and furries. The reason for this has yet to be satisfactorily explained, although it has been suggested by NullC that "all new media are first explored by the minorities and the marginalized".

does that apply to the cellar?

a whole host of video related to this topic

the first 3 are just rather funny I thought, getting more and more relevant to the discussion as you go down the list.

http://gay.videosift.com/video/Lord-...Rings-bloopers

http://gay.videosift.com/video/Gay-n...-Unternational

http://gay.videosift.com/video/Devou...g-to-your-town

This on is the only one thats really relevant to the discussion, its about if being gay is a choice, there is part 2 hanging around somewhere
