I'm Gay But I Don't Like The Gay Community?

I agree on lots of these points. Overly flamboyant gay guys don't really annoy me but I feel as though I could understand why you feel annoyed. I think that a lot of people see them as more of a novelty, outrageous for the sake of outrageous, and not as real people. Also, many "more masculine gays" (maybe yourself?) resent the fact that they are stereotyped into that category just because they are gay. Me, I dislike the fact that a persona like that leaves little room for subtlety. I also am very upset with the approach that the community takes toward sex. It worries me that the public gets the idea that we are slutty and are sex-crazed. It worries me even more that some people are legitimately like that. From a scientific perspective, sex is the most important thing for any organism. However, the point of being human is elevating yourself away from other organisms. For a romantic like myself, this is a depressing situation. I wish that we could move away from this sexual liberation message that stopped being relevant a while ago and move onto what it is to be really proud of what it means to be gay. We need to show that gay relationships are just as loving and legitimate as straight ones.
