Frauling at Hollywood Reporter tries to make "Stromo" happen

"Stromo" means straight men who like to flaunt themselves for gay men for attention and profit.

You know, cockteases.

Special cameo appearance by DL fave Simon "Oranges" Halls.

Stromo is a terribly stupid word.

But the points they make are valid. We live in an era now where males are very much sexually objectified, there is intense pressure for actors to look perfect which used to be pressure reserved for female actors.

It is also true that more straight guys are okay blatantly promoting to gay audiences, which is something that never would have been done so openly in the past.

Gretchen, stop trying to make "stromo" happen! It's not going to happen!

"It is also true that more straight guys are okay blatantly promoting to gay audiences, which is something that never would have been done so openly in the past."

It is true that famous straight guys have to pretend they're not deeply uncomfortable with being the object of admiration from gay audiences. Fixed.

Why not Fauxmo, instead?

Straight women also get a kick out of dangling their men in front of the slobbering gays- then snatching him back.

LOL R5. Fauxmo is way better!

As long as they keep pretending to be gay while their sticking their cock in my mouth, I'm down with it.

R1 lives in a fantasy land. See photo. Most actors are slobs.

This argument is tinged with homophobia.

When Fauxmo happens, we will all know it started here and then we ran with it. See, this is why gays need to run the fucking world. Stromo, idiot. Fauxmo, genius.

"Stromo" sounds pretty dumb to me. Then again, I tried to make calling pizza "za" happen.

"...straight men who like to flaunt themselves for gay men for attention and profit. "

I thought the correct term was "actor", or "model".

I thought that was called Chatterbait.

Those fauxmo's aren't man enough to be homo's.
