Gay Basic Bitches

Star tattoos, bad posture

that's the best example of gay face i've ever seen!

An abundance of tattoos to the extent that one's body looks like an Etch a Sketch come to life.

Madonna, Cher, Britney and other trashy pop stars

What with the star tattoo ?it's everywhere. Can a straight guy have one ? My fitness coach looks more and more like a young daddy Rocco. Used to be clean and shaven. He has one now. Is very sweet with me ? Always assumed he was straight.

Orgies

Atlantis cruises

Circuit parties

My last boyfriend was bi and had one, R5.

r5 shake his hand and wiggle your index finger, he'll know what that means with his star tattoo. K!

R7 what is the meaning behind that tattoo? Or just "oooo that look cool!"?

A five-pointed star is the sign of Baphomet.

The oeuvre of Andy Cohen.

Ubiquitous beard/goatee, spiky haircut, faux tans/spray tans, a general look and feel as if he's been swimming in a toilet full of poo for a few days

Musicals. Network Tv, in particular reality TV, televised award ceremonies. Fast food.

Only a basic bitch uses the term basic.

The bear version, which means bear paws on any and everything.

Paints when he bottoms, they love to do that!

R14 is that Abercrombie tank top a little too tight?

What is baphomet?

Tea

He actually kisses me on both cheeks now, we don't shake hands anymore

LOL!

Giggles like a girl.

A need to show off their body all the fucking time. Enough with the tank tops and being shirtless.

only the BIG gworls think that! r23

Those high-pitched nasal voices that make them sound like Peter Brady going through puberty.

Talks like a black lady but is a big racist.

you cant talk a color, next caaaaase

Rupauls Drag Race, although I secretly watch it so I guess I’m kinda basic too.

[quote] Talks like a black lady but is a big racist.

Even worse if they look up "thug porn" but say the n-word in public.

Meth

Barebacking while high on meth.

Sending hole pics to increasingly unattractive people on Grindr as the hour approaches dawn.

Not putting their age on Grindr profiles, as if anyone will actually be fooled into thinking some leathery-skinned, balding cum dumpster is <30 years old.

Young guys wearing Gucci loafers, an Hermès “H” belt, carrying a Louis Vuitton tote/backpack while not having enough money to buy a car and living in a nasty apartment with multiple roommates. Trying too hard and so eastbound to spot and avoid.

Dressing like the 40-year-old boy next door.

^easy

R31 yes, we don't want them to stop doing these things, because it makes them easier to spot and avoid.

Lifestyle and fashion entrepreneurship, like a Real Housewife of Wherethefuckever

Shopping for those trashy Hollister and A&F tees and tanks when they should really be getting stylish fashion and basics from Gap - of course.

Never looking up from their phone.

Regularly spends Friday and/or Saturday nights at "the club."

Spends more money on clothes, entertainment, liquor, drugs and travel than pays out in rent/mortgage, has 0 savings.

Shares a 4th floor walkup in Chelsea with 5 other queens in order to have a "fashionable" address.

Accepting the most bland and boring porn scenes.

Hangs out at "the club" with women who refer to their tits as "my girls"

r16, ...seriously, I've never heard of anyone painting while bottoming, I guess I've never had a top that inspired me to paint at that very moment.

Healthy 401ks. Mortgages. Getting advanced degrees in middle age. Marriage. Kids. Home Depot.

Only meal eaten on Sunday: brunch.

Prole caps

Ya basic!

Baseball hats and hoodies in an attempt to appear straight acting.

We all know you are speaking from personal experience R30....

The word "basic."

[quote]Talks like a black lady but is a big racist.

[quote]Even worse if they look up "thug porn" but say the n-word in public.

Or in private or online.

Despite the smiles those two look like they’d be really mean to people they view beneath their station in the gay social pecking order.

R50 Whats you talkin' bout, Child?

they drive a Ford Fusion or a Hyundai. Racist, tin tin haircuts, always behind the curve with last year’s music and clothes, wedges the fact they are a manger at their retail establishment when it’s totally off topic, sprays on half a bottle of dated cologne, smoke Newport’s, claims that they don’t really like the club scene yet are at several clubs per night, rude to the ‘help’, eat at Ruby Tuesday’s and drinks the colored drinks, flakey, jealous, disloyal, and does every drug in the book.

Knee pads that dispense wipes and lube.

[quote]sprays on half a bottle of dated cologne

"Fragrance."

To that you can add "product."

r53 is typing from 1997.

Neat trick!

Clothing too tight, and one size too small... Short suit jackets and blazers, Thom Brown -style floods, pant legs rolled up, hard-soled dress shoes sans socks, too much hair product, frosted highlights in their hair, thumb rings, and hideous tattoos.

And/or from Florida, r57.

How true R59.... Or quite possibly a few other "choice" locations in the south!

Cargo shorts

Prada

Best insight into the world of GBBs: Tommy DiDario's Instagram account, so beloved of this site.

Chiclet teeth

Waxes their hole before going to the sex club.

This

Feigned ennui.

Rupaul’s Drag Race

Real Housewives of Wherever

Tweeting about Celebrity Big Brother

Eurovision

Having roommates

Smokes cigarettes - immediate trash identifier

They glaze over when you aren't talking about them.

Ha!

[quote] What with the star tattoo ?it's everywhere. Can a straight guy have one ? My fitness coach looks more and more like a young daddy Rocco. Used to be clean and shaven. He has one now. Is very sweet with me ? Always assumed he was straight.

Six point star means he's a Jew. But peek in the washroom after your class. If he's uncut he's not.

Not always R72... Can't be relying on that as definitive.

OP, you should have titled this thread, "things other bottoms do that I don't like".

Loud tank tops are atrocious and are the new silk Versace shirts of the 90s.

Old gay men dress like a teenager = disgusting

Thick necklaces and anklets.

I never really encountered this type until I was invited to some random pride BBQ. The queens fit all of the above descriptions. Everyone was in a tank top that looked cheap, and a few were wrapped up in some Sophie’s choice between tank tops with their friends helping them decide. I don’t know why they even cared what they wore because they wouldn’t actually go to the parade. They were too busy gossiping about everyone & were “saving up” for the whole night out (energy or money - I don’t know. Maybe coke?).

There were no eaten carbs anywhere. There were full boxes / bags of brownies and cookies and hot dog buns etc. all they did was drink & have half of a hamburger (I think they found a straight guy or lesbian to turn on the grill - and squealed when fire came up).

They had absolutely no ability to have a conversation beyond saying what their names were. Oh perhaps they could say where they lived and what they did for work...but even that was like pulling teeth.

They all had the tats and the tans and the eyebrow tweezing etc. I was just grossed out and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Oh I forgot the massive lineup of empty liquor bottles - like a teenager with sports trophies (perhaps that is what they were making up for?)... but then oddly, Chopin vodka and Grey Goose (full bottles) were on these same shelves... out of reach, while Smirnoff was being served. Like - bitch are you seriously creating a tier system in your own damn apartment? Do I need to pay a $5 upcharge not to drink that Russian swill?

I think 4 people lived there too - in a nasty old 2 bedroom with peeling paint and peeling wood floor varnish....

and no hand soap or towel in the bathroom... mmhmm...

R78 & 79 ur right. Those r the worst. I never want to b near them under any circumstances

80 responses and no one has mentioned Starbucks? It's the first thing I thought of.

Having your picture taken as the "hottest guy in the bar"

And then linking to it on your IG, FB, etc.

Rainbow flag accessories, necklaces, bracelets, t shirts socks, this was back in the day.

cheap cologne

plastic flip flops

r79 But I bet they were all wearing their Etro Merlino Printed Shirts.

Thinking RuPaul and Drag Race are the height of culture. Tragic.

They usually date their twin. They even wear the tank tops and shit like that into their 50s or (god forbid) their 60s. A lot of times, they look older than they think do.

R78, was this in Toronto? It sounds like basic gays from Toronto.

This thread makes me feel a whole lot better about being an out of shape dork.

they talk in GIFS, 80% from DragRace, 20% Wendy Williams

They still care about Britney, who basically shouted to the world in 2008 that she was a useless nutjob.

They think Call Me By Your Name is a masterpiece (both the mediocre movie and the atrocious novel)

I'm always on the hunt for a beach tank to rock!

R91 unfortunately only the intellectuals can appreciate the movie. I understand where ur coming from 😂

They have 50K plus followers on Instagram for being half-naked and a high school degree.

The use of "bitch," "beeatch" "gurl" "like" and "cocktails" all said above normal volume while on their phone in the mall.

Basic Gay Twitter is obsessed with Carly Rae Jepsen.

I don’t get it.

Speaking of Toronto basic bitches, I still shudder when I think of a get together my partner and I were invited to, in spite of knowing the host only marginally: an ugly, nondescript row townhouse in East York, dinner catered from Ho Lee Chow, being subjected to the soundtrack of some shitty jukebox musical (Mamma Mia) while sitting in the garden waiting for the food delivery, followed by the viewing party for some shitty CW show... A bunch of annoying elderqueens squealing over some slab of meat on that show. Also, I'm assuming the host was the first one in the family who graduated from university since his diploma (business degree from York) was framed and displayed very prominently. I mean, it was surreal and not in a good way.

Overly shaped eyebrows - guaranteed to turn the hottest of men into a complete dickwilter.

Keep ‘em coming! Mainly so I know what to avoid doing, really.

Makes fun of fatties, though he is becoming one.

R87 - that all happened in Chicago.

I love the term "basic bitch"

The basic bitches in stories all sound like DC gays.

Wearing anything rainbow outside of a Pride parade 🏳️‍🌈

Air finger snaps....especially if followed by

I third on that wearing gay rainbow paraphernalia is atrocious. The rainbow flag has become the trashy gays equivalent of white trash and the Confederate flag minus the hatred and racism.

Any gay get together viewing party of a gay TV series or series popular with gay men—especially if there is any kind of related theme associated with it.

I once turned down a SATC movie viewing party where they were all going drink appletinis and mimosas together while watching. The thought of being trapped in a room with a bunch of cackling nellies with shit cocktails for 2 hours made me want to run.

Cheesy gay novels the dumb queens treat like actual literature

Doesn't read anything but trashy gay beach reads or self-help books.

Watches reality TV and talks about it all the time.

Posting a picture on Instagram announcing/ celebrating a weeks or months-long anniversary with a couple photo and a long mushy dedication as if you’ve been together for years.

A straight friend showed me one of a co-worker celebrating his relationship’s 10-month anniversary.

I responded, “Happy Anniversary?! At 10 months? More like Happy Future Open Relationship!”

elder bitches teach me ur ways....

Classic Gay Basic Bitch Signifiers:

1. He’s over the age of 30, and is hitting the gay bars every weekend, without fail. His entire social life revolves around going to gay bars, socializing at gay bars, and hooking up at gay bars.

2. He wears cheap, ill fitting clothing. There’s a stereotype that gay men are obsessed with fashion and dressing to impress, but for the basic bitch, this just isn’t the case. From his stretched, poly-cotton vests worn over faded, ill-fitting button downs,bell bottom jeans, and square toe boots, he looks like a caricature out of 2004. And these are his “best clothes”.

3. He gossips like a 12 year-old girl. He’s constantly trash talking his “friends” behind their backs, spreading vicious rumors, and causing drama. He loves confrontation and manufacturing situations where he can stand back and watch an argument take place. The basic bitch doesn’t just live in drama, he lives FOR drama.

4. He’s over 30 and has no skills, no career, and no prospects. He may work in retail, a service industry job, or some other low-paying, low-skill line of work. He has little to no desire to better himself, earn more money, or improve his station in life.

5. He regularly partakes in drug binges. Before going to the bar. At the bar. At after parties. These illicet substances may include a combination of meth, opioids, cocaine, and/or marijuana.

6. He’s constantly bashing other men for their alleged “nellyness”, while he himself flames from space. He just doesn’t realize just how girly he comes across, broadcasting to everyone, even in the most mundane of social interactions, that he’s the one taking it up the ass.

R112 has a degree in sociology or anthropology... or at least a minor in it... I mean, come on - that was too good.

This is one the best Datalounge threads ever.

It needs to be pointed out to the Fraus who say we only hate women.

Just another anti-gay thread.

Ha - we hate ourselves so much more astutely!

R97 that whole scenario saddens me. Who would show up to that hellscape?

R51, the two in the pic in the OP's post are on a pecking order? Them? They both seem like sales bottoms.

Trashes other gays on DL.

R37 - Only when they see you in their peripheral vision.

R112 Very well-said.

R118 it's called Gay-Shaming

The two in the photo: guy on the left came out of the closet and divorced his wife that he has two kids with. He is now tying to relive his 20s at 40. Guy on left is his boyfriend he met online. They spend their vacations traveling to white parties, taking designer drugs and hooking up with other guys as a couple. They go out to the clubs all the time, even on Monday night.

People who have nothing to contribute to a conversation, so they turn a subject that other people are enjoying to eating ass or bottoming.

laundry sex but only with newbies

R76 - That's not only Gay Basic Bitches, that's most of Data Lounge. The reactions I get when I suggest men over 40 stop wearing blue jeans, and wear Dockers, is almost vicious.

R124....essentially right on cue.

R124 - I hope that's a hairy ass crack, and not something else.

enough shit in their "fancy" andrew christians to frost a cake with!

r125 WHY would anyone wear Dockers?

R129 - To not bring attention to your body. Blue jeans are designed to bring attention to your crotch, and ass. NO ONE wants to see that on your old, repulsive, saggy body. Thanks for asking.

R130 LOL....enjoy your ugly old man baggy dad clothes, Pops!!!

Some gay look like italian guys

I can put up with a lot of Gay Basic Bitch stuff, but if he talks nonstop about Real Housewives, we're done.

R131 - Here's the part that you just don't get - you are an old man. A deluded old man, but, an old man regardless. Read R76 again. You old queens at this site are as bad as Madonna. You're 20 years beyond trying to dress 'sexy'. Try to dress dignified. And that means Dockers.

Block people on DL

Copy all those aforementioned black woman mannerisms; jump when encountering a homophobic black person.

So can we agree R112 is a classic gay bitch?

I once stole a brassiere out of the laundry room of my building. It belonged to the special-ed niece of one of my new neighbors. lol

I’m in my 30s and will be wearing jeans until I die. They are not teenager clothes and look good in most causal situations. When I wear pants, all I ever wear are jeans or suit pants, and that’s all I ever will.

I stopped wearing shredded jeans in my 20s, but good denim looks better than khaki.

R112 is a classic gay bitch.

Even worse, R112 is a petty Datalounger of the highest order. What a bitch!

Could we add where we're from when we type descriptions? It would be more interesting to the readers.

(Also, I kind of like R66's shoes.)

Carry on!

^the problem is not the shoes, it's the sock-less style.

R143, oh, okay.

I don't know--as a lesbian, I know I'm hopelessly unfashionable, but I kind of like the look.

Question for the fashionable: right now, pants being cut as short as they are, you really think it's nice-looking to see 5 or more inches of sock?

Tribal tattoos- the epitome of basic

obvious vocal fry, chinstrap, back pocket chain

Do they now say “hunnnny”? Or has it been going on for a while? I heard it for the first time recently. Grow the fuck up.

R113 and R114: so easily impressed. R112 describes his co-worker at the MAC make-up counter and suddenly he's got a "degree in sociology or anthropology"? I can only wonder what sort of education YOU have.

I clearly struck a nerve with my R140, R141, and R148 who see themselves the qualities I so eloquently described.

Use of the word 'fierce' naming yourself Food God

I AM NOT FAT, R100!

I'm 54 and I LOVE my Calvins!!!!

I'm also wearing a Tom of Finland t-shirt and some raaaaaaal sexy 2 Exist underpannies!!!

R152 - Anthony Varrecchia? The sexy legend in his own mind?

Kim kuntrashian, paris hilton and dozens other talentless trashy cunt sluts, Beyoncé, rihanna, shitney and other no talents pop tarts.

Truvada. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

[quote]Try to dress dignified. And that means Dockers.

It's true that Dockers don't say "aging gay male trying desperately to look hip." They say "suburban insurance salesman whose wife complains if he doesn't mow the lawn and who's never done anything but missionary position."

R50

Does that include us ?

If an interior designer, it is basic to have my picture taken without shoes. We love to show off our feet. Why ? Who the fuck knows. Oh, and when we do wear shoes, please, no socks.

Gay basic ? Gay basic has some infinity scarves in his wardrobe.

Gay basic has had highlighted hair somewhere in his past if not currently.

Oh my. This is the saddest picture I think I've ever seen. R161

Gay basic is a poser and makes 'macho' faces.

Gay basic would never admit that he's as vain as Zoolander.

Gay basic thinks he's better looking than 99% of his friends.

You forgot the instant head turn and look away when an average or unattractive person tries to meet their gaze . If it is an eldergay it is followed by ducking behind something to hide . Like I am really going to play hide and seek with you dude.

The honest and sad truth is at 21 years old in 1980 I was guilty of these same crimes .

They watch shitty CW shows and listen to shitty pop music (Taylor Swift, One Direction) that is meant for teenage girls. Adult men who are into shit like this are just sad.

Works retail but acts like he’s an heiress getting through a bad patch

Lip syncs Britney Spears songs complete with memorized dance choreography from the music videos

Chris Pine constantly wears dress pants/shoes with no socks. Does that mean he's a basic gay??

Always travels in packs of 6-10 best friends to gay destinations but is completely lonely and dead inside.

R171

Do the math

Sophia Lamar gave us a pretty good list in her song Shitty Faggot years ago.

R171 Have you heard of loafers socks before? They are VERY common.

Those look like aqua socks

Loafers socks are basically the same as no socks with dress pants/dress shoes.

r175, gurl, we do not need you show off your ankles while you have pants on. That strip of skin is not turning anyone on. Just put on some real socks.

[quote]The honest and sad truth is at 21 years old in 1980 I was guilty of these same crimes . —Karma and Age gets you in the end

So this.

So the guys in the OP’s pic are just randos? (Is it basic to say ‘rando’?) The one on the left looks vaguely familiar.

They are homoclones we all know at least ten guys who look just like this

Posting gifs of yourself twerking or yelling/typing YASSS QUEEN!!! as a response to anything

Who is this Dockers troll doling out fashion dos and don'ts? I mean, really.

His pussy stinks, too.

HAIR TIP FROSTING. It looked ugly then, and it still looks ugly now.

Flitting about. Never in the here moment.

Terrible taste in music. But, MOST gays have terrible taste in music.

R185? Most people have terrible taste in music. But gays are over represented in most things having to do with great music.

Love this thread. It should be dedicated to Billy Graham. RIP, good sir.

[quote]MOST gays have terrible taste in music.

This has been true since I came out in the '70s. I wonder why gays supposedly have better taste than the population at large.

[quote]Terrible taste in music. But, MOST gays have terrible taste in music.

MOST straight people have terrible taste in music.

r187 we can critique within our own group. I suggest you go on Youtube and watch Chris Rock's classic "Black People vs. Nig----" routine to get the picture.

I haven't worn socks when not required since childhood.

I thought no socks with shoes was a Florida/California thing and not a "gay thing."

God bless Billy Graham, R190!

It's not a gay thing, r192. And I'm from North Jersey.

Fran Lebowitz explained that AIDS wiped out so many gay men of discerning taste and culture that it left a void, and gave rise to so much of the pop culture garbage we have today. She argued that not only did AIDS decimate the arts, but it also wiped out a discerning audience of tastemakers who not only shaped the culture but were also not around to mentor younger generations of gay men. We have never recovered from that loss.

Exhibit A: Andy Cohen.

It was a preppy thing R192, strictly New England.

Frankly, Frannie was right.

R168, You’re very wrong about the CW shows. They are fantastic and all my friends watch them.

R186, sometimes you bump into a gay guy with bad music taste, but overall we like MUCH better music than straight people. How many straight people do you know that can sing the entire scores of Follies, Sunday in the Park, Caroline or Change, Most Happy Fella, The Rink and Mack and Mabel?

[quote]Paints when he bottoms, they love to do that!

I don't understand this.

[quote]How many straight people do you know that can sing the entire scores of Follies, Sunday in the Park, Caroline or Change, Most Happy Fella, The Rink and Mack and Mabel?

I don't know any people, period, who can do all of that.

They shriek "Damn that autocorrect!" ten times a day, as if it is the one making mistakes, but they don't turn it off.

I thought painting while you bottom is a scat fetish reference

Enough ^^.

100% support the khaki and the full sock trolls. Please, for the love of god, dress your age. Trying to look younger is extremely unattractive. No one ever says it out loud, but people 100% make fun of old guys in tight jeans, with tall hair, and stinking of excess cologne (or worse yet perfume).

Probably already brought up but I feel like every time I see a Midwest gay he has frosted tips

Not wearing socks has nothing to do with age. And no one of any age should "stink of cologne (or worse yet, perfume)."

You don’t have to wear dockers to dress your age

You’re right R207. I’m sure you look great in your Diesel jeans.

I wear neither dockers nor jeans...

the anti-jeans trolls are crazy. Jeans look good on everyone

Miss R148, I have a PhD from a school you'd NEVAH get into. I graded literally hundreds of social science papers from undergrads at that school as well. Organized, detailed, well-phrased thoughts (without run-ons, repetition, or wordiness) was rare to see, even at a school requiring the top 5% in SAT scores. Now eat me.

Listens to Lana Del Rey

[quote] You’re very wrong about the CW shows. They are fantastic and all my friends watch them.

The collective IQ in that room must be, oh, around 100?

Spikey hair of any kind. It is now 2018. Ditch it, basic bitches.

They look to Lance Bass for lifestyle and fashion guidance.

Anyone who was in a relationship with Reichen.

[quote]the anti-jeans trolls are crazy. Jeans look good on everyone

It really is rather bizarre. They might have a point about someone always insisting on wearing the latest fashionable jeans. But it's pretty silly to pretend that an older guy wearing a pair of Wranglers because that's what he wore to work year after year is somehow just too, too terrible. And suggesting that he switch to Dockers?! Really? That's just bizarre.

As for me, I still wear the same style of jeans I've been wearing for a few decades and I will continue to wear them, not because I think they make me look young (god knows, nothing could do that) but because they're comfortable, because I have no desire to go buy an "old man's" wardrobe, and because I don't really give a rats ass what people like that think.

If that makes them less likely to want to get to know me, that's a plus, as far as I'm concerned. We both dodged a bullet.

Clearly, this guy didn't get the memo. I'm sure our jeans troll above will recoil in horror. The rest of us will be just fine, as will he.

Thank you r218. The jeans troll is now clutching her pearls on his fainting couch.

Is that couch upholstered in denim, r219?

R217, you said it. I agree with every word. And thank you, R218 for the visual.

The guy on the left reminds me of Aaron Schock, and looks like he may have had a hair lip.

Dockers are hideous and no one should ever wear them.

It's true, gay men have really bad taste in music. More of my straight friends have way better taste in music.

Yes, Dockers are gross.

I have never worn a Docker. What is hideous/gross about them?

J Crew everything!

iPhone user for life

Andy Cohen and anybody associated with him.

Constantly posting solo selfie pics on Facebook like you are a 17 year old girl, but you are actually a 45 year old man! Knock it off, you are embarrassing yourself!

Aren’t Dockers for people such as Jake from State Farm?

Trying to define the notion of a "basic bitch" is akin to trying to define porn - virtually impossibly to pin down precisely but you know it when you see it.

Ten signs you're a basic gay bitch.

My favorite from r232:

[quote](10) Making a Big Deal Out of Being Into Sports, Especially Outdoor Sports

Foreign Travel (highly influenced by beaches and electronic music): Barcelona, Ibiza, Mykonos, Gay Caribbean cruise

Never: Trekking in the Himalayas; Archeological sites in Central and South America; Wildlife Safaris in Africa; or cultural tours of Europe.

I was never rich or thin enough to be a basic gay bitch.

basic gay bitches are not rich neither thin, R235

And they have really shitty grammar skills.

english is not my first language. Sorry, cunt R237!

No shit, R238.

R231 may be confusing porn with obscenity

In my experience, people who use this term to describe others are usually not that interesting or sophisticated themselves.

Dredge alert.

No words.

The #1 giveaway is to watch regularly and enthusiastically a scripted reality TV show with high drama, like any of the "Real Housewives" shows.

Any sort of obsession with retail brands--especially to the point of (***shudder***) sporting an easy-to-read brand name on your person.

Going on a gay cruise.

Going regularly to brunch with the same group of gay male friends (faghags included), especially if you've over 30.

I own this thread.

The guys in r243 look okay to me, especially compared to the turds some of you revere, cherish, and adore. What am I missing?

Umm, the one on the left is disgraced former Congressman Aaron Schock. The one on the right is a basic InstaHo.

Ohhhhhhhhh...I had no idea. Thanks, r248. The instaho on the right is the one I prefer.

Market Days, Baby!!!

Being sickly thin, having a pallor of someone who rarely gets up before noon, having ugly girl friends from the Mac store that have skid mark “contoured” cheekbones and those awful painted on Instagram eyebrows. Yes, screeching “gurl” when you see these colleagues. Being highly uneducated.

Reads Foucault and Derrida, collects records by 20th century composers like Stockhausen and Xenakis, is an expert in French New Wave cinema and it's relation to the 1968 Paris riots as well as No Wave music and its relation to the early 80's downtown NYC art scene. Donates to WFMU and Bernie. Despite being handsome is intellectually brilliant, but poor, and dresses like it.

Did I get it right?

R252 LOL

Foucault was a circuit queen, wasn't he?

They probably support Pete 2020, because YASSS GURL, HE GAY!!!!

They that Instagram photo where they playfully straddle a flamingo, swan or unicorn pool float.

*they have that

Still goes out to clubs that are full of 23 year-olds when they are getting old enough to be the father of a 23 year-old, or are already there.

As if following those Real Housewives shows isn't basic enough, but talking about the individual housewives as if they know them personally. Just sad.

Also sad - still talking about Sex and the City as if it's a current show and not something from 20 years ago.

They sound like fun, c’mon you cunts.

Loudly and frequently hating on trivial things enjoyed by most gays such as Sex and the City and Real Housewives

R261 nice try, but you’re basic.

They are obsessed with brunch.

R263 the Brunch is also BOTTOM-less (hardly) mimosas.

Definitely tattoos - it's almost impossible these days to find a gay without at least one tattoo and MOST of them are shit. Then inevitably they get more and more until they look like some sad artist's sketchbook, like Francois Sagat.

Mask their self-loathing by focusing on other obvious gays and lesbians.

I’m the cologne... Jean Paul Gaultier

One of the first pieces of advice I got from an eldergay, in the early days of my gay youth was, "Take everything in the LBGT community with a grain of salt. I assume he'd include, "gay basic bitches".

They pretend to be arty, wearing scarves and blouse with ruffles, even though they work as sales executives.

They mix styles, crazy colours and fabrics, beliving in their own good taste. After all they end up looking like retired peacocka.

Check out the “Circuit Royals” group on Facebook. Tried to link it, but it won’t work if you’re not logged in.

While browsing through ridiculous posts about “best place to store your drugs on at Atlantis cruise” and “the pros and cons about getting fucked in the middle of the dance floor at White Party”, please keep in mind these people take themselves deadly serious.

R269 are you posting from The Celluloid Closet?

I guess I’d be considered a “gay basic bitch.” Lol. I only travel to gay destinations (PV, Palm Springs, Sitges, Mykonos, SF, and FLL.) I attend 3-4 circuit parties/prides per year. I’ve taken two Atlantis all male cruises. I have been told by my best girlfriend that my only identity/interest is being a gay man! And it’s true. I wouldn’t want to do anything outside of work that’s not “gay-themed.” I’ve tried and it’s not enjoyable. I have to also admit I am single so it’s a way to “connect” with other guys. I figure I’ll do this until 50 and then “gay retire.”

Wearing baseball hats backwards well into your 50s while wearing tight-fitting t-shirts and being obsessed with dieting and the gym. It's an attempt to project masculinity. Nobody is buying it.
