Masculinity and LGBT culture

Post Reply New Topic

I talked on some Polish gay forums that in Poland we have guys who are gays but not want be affiliated to LGBT culture.

In Poland mostly people perceives gay man as child like and effeminate, like EMOs .

Many Polish gay and bisexual men do not acknowledge their sexual orientation because they are ashamed (like me) and do not want to be seen as effeminate

I think that perception is everywhere, not just in Poland. It is seen as not masculine to be gay. But it is stupid because some gay men are masculine and some straight men are not masculine. LOL

Masculinity/Femininity are completely separate from Sexuality and Sex[Male/Female]. Masculine/Feminine energies are expressed differently relative to each person. I feel like our society has a problem with this. Society universally is still misogynist to a degree. How to destroy misogynist ideals is to preach that our mothers are the reason we are born as well as our fathers who ejaculate inside a female. Let boys dress up like girls/ vice versa and let there be any sexual orientation. I think these sexist/homophobic ideals are childlike. If it weren't for girls, we would never be born. Really, lets bring on the social justice and equal rights. Pardon my rant, I just needed to spill my opinion here.

I'm Canadian. I'm gay. I'm masculine. I'm not effeminate at all. People don't know I'm gay unless I tell them. There are a lot of feminine and flamboyant types in the gay community, especially in the gay district. I don't know very many really fem gay guys at all. Also, the gay scene isn't really my scene.. I don't hang out in the gay district or gay bars etc. I don't really care that much for it. I might hang out there once in a blue moon just to experience it and see if I care to hang out around those places and types, but so far I've gotten by in life just fine by doing the things I like and hanging out in places I like with people I like. The only reason I can foresee hanging out in a gay bar might be to potentially meet a boyfriend for a relationship, and only because there are likely to be different gay guys hanging out there than are on various gay/dating websites. Otherwise I don't really have a use for the gay bar scene at all in my life since I don't really care for nightclubs in general.

But yeah, anyways, I'm gay but not fem at all.
