What is ProMo? (Professional Homo?)

Well? Anybody know??

SMH

It's a term my friends and I came up with for guys whose identity stops and starts with their homosexuality.

They are "professional homosexuals" -- everything they do, eat, wear, buy, think and feel has a gay connection. Ditto the vacations they take, the neighborhoods they live in, etc.

Like you half expect them to have business cards that read "Sebastian Q. Eldergate. Homosexual-at-Large" and to introduce themselves at parties as "Sebastian Eldergate, Homosexual. Pleasure to meet you."

It has nothing to do with what they actually do for a living.

A friend asked for a referral to an MD. When I gave the name, he asked if he was gay. When I said, "No, but gay friendly," he wasn't happy. His dentist and podiatrist are gay.

Thanks, Millenial and R3. Someone called me that yesterday 😒 He must be a Datalounger!

Wow thanks! I now know what I am. I’m proud to be a “ProMo.” I live in the “gayborhood,” only support gay owned businesses and restaurants, travel to PV, Palm Springs, and SF. (Did all my European travel when I was young.) I don’t want to interact with straights in my off-work time. I’m so sick of them latching on to me as their fabulous token gay friend. If there was an all-male all-gay city I’d be there!

A Professional Homo is someone like Jonathan from Queer Eye. He makes a living off his gayness. He has nothing else to offer and plenty of people are happy to pay for it.

R5 - You're not as fabulous as you think.

IKR!

Because once you've been to London or Paris, you can just check that off your list. No need to go back. I mean how much could they have changed in 40 years, amirite?
