A Gay Man Discusses Homosexuality and ->-bleeped-<- - Are They Related Behaviors?
Dave Muskera, M.A.
http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/62011However well intentioned these comments might have been, in my view they simply further add to the incorrect idea that there is some intrinsic connection between ->-bleeped-<- and homosexuality. After all, didn´t he say that ->-bleeped-<- is "akin" to homosexuality? And (going back to well established cultural stereotypes) after all, don´t all homosexual males cross dress when they are children, play with the toys of the opposite sex and spend their time decorating tree houses (at least the little gay boys do)? Aren´t all gay men effeminate? And aren´t all lesbians Harley bike riders? And (and here´s the kicker), after all, hasn´t the mysterious gay community itself adopted the group umbrella label "LGBT"....Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered?" So aren´t all these things just versions of the same thing? This, I believe, is how much of the public thinks and this program only added another little bit to the layer of the misinformed. Personally, I suspect that many gay people and transsexuals might very well be insulted by such lines of thinking.
