Things Rich White Gay People Love

First Datalounge post, dear?

dildos

Unfair generalizations about others

Sunset Boulevard.

Whatever bloated and pretentious HBO show is all the rage these days.

R3...This being said on a board that will consist of nothing but unfair generalizations of others.

Bravo shows

Ryan Murphy shows

Mykonos

This reads like a Boris research thread OP

Ice cream!

When did Nancy turn gay?

um.... “Nancy”!

Pretending that Alyssa Milano has either talent or relevance.

No wait, that should be in the thread called “things gay white trash like“ considering she costarred with gay white trash for the better part of a decade.

Which decade?

r12 probably listens to everything Scott Baio says

FOLLIES!!

Last time a rich gay let me near,the topics were “Barthelona” and “Veeks”.

These are places and they only go for four weeks at a time so they probably aren’t Data Lounge A list Gays. We have at least one and both are schizophrenic. They don’t share, but they correct.

Equinox, second homes in Palm Springs or Fire Island, first class travel, male latino housekeepers...

Making everybody else pay the taxes they owe

Mercedes Benz (except the C class...why bother?)

Hosting back yard pool parties for twinks in their Bel Air home.

Talking on and on about their numerous trips to Europe making comments and giving opinions that aren't very insightful or novel in any way.

Champagne 🍾

Prosecco

Specialty boutiques

Old Hollywood

Eating disorders

Poppers

Grey Gardens, especially Grey Gardens quotes

Plastic surgery, fillers and Botox - namely women that have all of the above in excess, the younger the woman, the better

Small, precious dogs

Scandal

Befriending insufferable women that have horrible interests and glaring personality problems or are so stupid they're practically mute, and worshipping them because they're fabulous(puke)

Provincetown’s real estate ownership exclusivity.

Boutique hotels or high end clothing optional resorts.

What college they and their family members attended

R25 - I think we need to clarify. Are we talking about your just typical wealthy or upper middle six figure income, white, made it on their own gays or are we going into typical DL society fantasy land of yesteryear?

[quote] Last time a rich gay let me near,the topics were “Barthelona” and “Veeks”.

What's "Veeks"?

[quote] Hosting back yard pool parties for twinks in their Bel Air home.

It depends on the twinks' ages.

Instagram

Brunch! (Not just for wealthy white people any more).

Soho House

Giving lavish DNC fundraisers that only the 1% can afford

Yeah, what's this "Veeks" stuff?

Poverty stricken gay people also love Maria Callas. But they only can afford her pirate recordings.

All of the DL opera queens are either dead or too lazy to post about it.

[quote] overty stricken gay people also love Maria Callas. But they only can afford her pirate recordings.

You mean her recording of Il pirata?

Having kids after 50.

[quote] Which decade?

The roaring twenties, Rose.

“Veeks” is a brand of German gin that costs €150 a litre.

Or perhaps it means something else entirely, but my interest in the pretentious preoccupations of rich gays goes only so far.

I thought "Veeks" was what Melania Trump used for a chest cold.

Having a twink sugar baby

Correction: Veeks is a German *shop* that sells €150/litre gin and many other overpriced food and drink products.

Buying the "services" of porn stars

WASP culture

OP, haven't you heard the news? Charcruterie boards are SO last century.

Lecturing online movie buffs thousands of miles away on the alleged racism of [italic]Song of the South[/italic] while having an active Grindr profile that is "no fats, no fems, and no Asians" in deed if not in word.

r45, it's the opposite. They'll attack anyone who criticizes stuff like Song of the South and say they're engaging in "cancel culture" because they're too dim to understand that people criticized Song of the South at the time.

Not in my experience, R46.

And I can assure you nobody gives a shit about Scott fucking Baio either.

I'm the resident opera queen and I'm very much alive.

Start an opera thread, R49. We haven't had a good one in about a year.

Expensive floral arrangements and expensive jam.

Fire Island Pines referred to as FIP.

Acting like 15 year old mean girls.

Re-gifting the inevitable Hickory Farms cheese sampler from a secret santa at work.

Uncut cheesy Puerto Rican Papi Cock

Obsessed with wasp culture

OP, haven't you heard the news? Charcruterie boards are SO last century.

—Anonymous R44 So are Rich White Gays, dear.

They are obsessed with low-class, trashy people. They surround themselves with the riff-raff and enjoy being lied to, manipulated and swindled. They think it's interesting and makes them real boys.

They don't have the street wisdom to survive that kind of company.

Case in point: Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, etc., etc.

Wrong thread! Sorry

Booking interviews for John Waters

Never mind. Sorry again.

Colonics during spa 🧖‍♂️ days.

Getting a new sphincter ring for that like a virgin feel after you hole has prolapsed. I actually heard this is a thing.

Talking like Willona from [italic]Good Times[/italic], the closest they will ever get to experiencing poverty or having even the faintest idea of what the African-American experience is really like.

Wall hangings of maps of old England or Europe.

Old photographs from sears done up to look older and in a silver frame.

Monograms.

A crest or family symbol of some kind.

A huge portrait of said subject with their pet.

Luxury wagon covered in pet hair.

Dinner clubs.

Really old rich gay white gays like Asian boyfriends and buy them heavily labeled designer clothing.

Keeping "[italic][bold]those[/italic][/bold] kind of people" out of country clubs while elongating the "o" in "those" to the point where it almost sounds like the "ew" in "new."

good god R65. You really are poor. These are the possessions of older straight men with families. You've described CT. You obviously havent been around people, gay or straight, with a any level of wealth.

Range Rover to drive Madison and Tucker* around in.

*Golden Retrievers

Pondering why celebrity careers have gone straight down the shitter.

Having gold-plated shitters installed in their bathrooms

R57 That sounds a bit racist and reverse snob to my well trained ear. I was being sarcastic, but really [italic] dear, [/italic] no one's actually eating that much pâté, saucisson, and assorted cured meats any longer. You know, it's the nitrates. The fucking nitrates cause colon cancer. Can you believe that [italic] dear [/italic] Foie Gras is no longer on offer most places thanks to the animal crackers crowd and the PETA. (It was the only pâté really rich white gays dug, often with truffles) Too many have become vegetarians lately for it to have remained as popular as it was in the 80s and the 90s.

Cheese boards are still in however darling. Grab some dried apricots, some walnuts, some grapes, some pears and apples, and a jar of Dalmatian Fig spread, and you're good to go select your cheeses!

Hissssssssssssssss!!!

I wonder how some of the Dataloungers (and ESPECIALLY some of the trolls who have infested this site as of late) would feel about a thread entitled [italic] Things Rich Black Gay People Love [/italic] .

Would it all "be in good humour"? Would people of colour feel relaxed enough to offer up ridiculously funny or stereotypical tastes from their own subculture, or personal experience? I'm thinking big NO NO, especially given the climate of burning racial strife here in the States, amid all the senseless killings by White Police Officers, the protests, the riots, and subsequent multiple deaths brought about by all sorts involved in the mayhem.

I really believe bloody thread would be either grey-lined immediately, or Muriel would make it magically disappear altogether, tout de suite. Or quite possibly, our leauges of decent, and polite typically political correct types would F/F the thread into oblivion.

If I'm incorrect in all that, and the thread were allowed to remain, would posters find it funny? Or would it be deemed in poor taste? If Black people were good enougj to post, would White people pounce on them and suggest Rich Black Gay People are so last century? Would they call you "Buppies" from the 80s ?

I hope some of the Black or people of colour who seem rather racist here on DL, would begin to check their new "Black Privilege" vis a vis all the protests. People are probably more than ever willing to give you a pass on some rather nasty nasty racist comments, on account of your struggle historically, coupled with the police killings. It doesn't make it right to be angry at all White people, or post some of this stuff here.

I'm hoping the lot of you are actually trolls and not regular contributors. There are tonnes of bigoted, prejudiced remarks all over DL coming from Black people. Most of you come off very angry and quite simple. Don't you ever see your own racism at times? I was good enough to play along at first, but I'm out.

You're right, unfortunately, R76. The DL has become a cesspool of racism, misogyny and transphobia. If these are the real gay people posting, and not trolls, this paints a sad picture of the LGBT "society". We will never survive if we're that divided, biting at one another and worshipping the straight white male only (especially if he's evil to us).

I wish someone would explain why gays are like this. Does it make you feel more powerful to attack other vulnerable groups of people and kissing the patriarch's ass?

Rough white trade.

R77 Thanks for your reply, but I beg some clarification; are you asking me personally in your second paragraph if I "feel more powerful to attack other vulnerable groups? I just want to be clear, as I stand against racism of all sorts, and am disgusted by a poster in the Hot Jewish Guys thread earlier ask "since when are all these average white guys considered Jewish?" I got news for him, most Jewish guys are "average white guys".

I suppose it's another bonkers Black bigot, who wished to encounter pics or examples of some Black Hebrew Israelites, or simply not White people. How is any of this OK? There's certainly a double standard of tone and acceptability here. There really has been a strong racist, judgemental and hateful wave coming from Black bigots lately. I'm not afraid to call it out. I never have before. I've called out anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Chinese, etc, but now this thread has left a very bad taste in my mouth.

^ from R76

R75 And whyever do I receive a Hissss from you? I'm merely playing along.... Cheese boards are also fairly European, affluent, and enjoyed by White gay people.... especially done up with all the trappings of the de rigueur accoutrements..... My earlier post of "expensive floral arrangements and expensive jam" was playing along as well. But then somehow, some of you got nasty. Were White people not meant to play along from the beginning?

Casual racism and blatant white supremacy.

R82 Show me the White Supremacy in this thread please. I respectfully disagree with you. Several times a White poster corrects something, or tries to riff on something, it would seem there is an out of proportion angry response, or insult.

We could have simply F/F'd this banal thread, yet we came and even contributed, but now we're guilty of White Supremacy? Go blow it out your arse, you're probably just constipated.

Cheese boards are cancelled due to lack of consideration for the lactose intolerant.

R84 Tell that to most Europeans, and whites. They're not cancelling them for a small minority of "lactose-intolerant idiots".

R70 Is o e of these people who are delusional and go around from thread to thread with the airs of royalty and love to insist they are some 12th cousin to the Rockefeller family yet live in a crumbliest shack in an abandoned mill town and gets their internet from a government voucher.

R70 = imposter trash

[quote] are we going into typical DL society fantasy land of yesteryear?

Did we ever leave?

Bitch about Meghan Markle, Beyoncé, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy and all black celebrities.

R79, no no, I was agreeing with you. My question was to no one in particular and I don't hope for understanding of this issue but yes, the bigotry here is astounding and I've lost hope that we could somehow be the resistance... or even keep our hard won rights, divided as we are.

R77 is a concern troll and a homophobe. I can’t wait till they send you to Siberia.

R79 is a racist. Jews are of color.

Fuck off, Matt.

Jews are so white Hitler tried to kill us all. R93 is a fucking racist.

There is nothing more beautiful than an adorkable jewish man. Call me anti semitic then fuck off.

Charcuterie bards are still a thing in many upscale restaurants you idiots.

Stalking, doxxing, and harassing gay Jews and gays of color, or worse

Making misogynistic jokes about lesbians while supporting everything trans

Giving money to gay-in-name-only organizations that make the ones spoofed in the “let’s be a nonprofit“ thread look like paragons of efficiency

Almost single-handedly keeping the male escort business in business

Running ostensibly gay-themed cable networks that are about 10% actual gay content while the rest is just infomercials and heavily edited reruns of 70s and 80s sitcoms about divorced women

R38 and r41, yeah, and literally nothing sold at Veeks is any good.

My estranged ex thought that just because every item had a ridiculous pricetag that all of the merchandise at Veeks would be exquisite and top-quality. After purchasing a bunch of goods from there, he soon found that this was NOT the case and it was absolutely nothing special.

I told you so, Andrea. 😌

Walking in the shadow of Steve Jobs.

[quote] Making misogynistic jokes about lesbians while supporting everything trans

OP said white people, not "woke" people.

Fixted

They love to be surrounded by “beautiful” people, celebrities, movie and TV stars, and others of wealth and status. They like to see and be seen.

Knowing how to use the "return" key properly, OP.

So, r94, you admit you’re Matt “Banned from Twitter” Anscher.

Befriending insufferable women that have horrible interests and glaring personality problems or are so stupid they're practically mute, and worshipping them because they're fabulous(puke)

- r22

I'd like to know a bit more about this strange phenomenon.

Is it cruel sarcasm? Are they parodying their pet idiot? Why would anybody assign value to such a person?

I have to assume it's because the unfortunate female on the gay pedestal is non-threatening and will never be bright enough to have the upper hand.

Housekeepers

Ina Garten

Engaging in racist acts of harassment like R104.

Using with little media access we have to push the most degrading stereotypes of gay people in the book.

With = what

Rich white gays seem to have a fetish for diapers.

R83, it’s very telling that you think I wrote R82 in reaction to what you or anyone else wrote in this thread. I was making an observation based on the title of the thread. I didn’t even read the thread. I don’t need to read it to know what I wrote is true; I’ve seen white supremacy and racism do many times from my fellow white gay men.

Guilty much?

R95 You failed to catch the post where I had mentioned I was being sarcastic. However, they're not really a thing in "upscale" restaurants... they've always been bistro,and pub fare, and more recently popular in gastropubs, and brewpubs. If you consider those "upscale" restaurants, you need to get out more and broaden your horizons.

Accusing Jews of being white while still being an anti-Semitic piece of shit

OP = troll

He who smelt it dealt it, R115. There are a lot of good observations in this thread lost in a sea of common plebeian riff-raff and rabble.

R112 Who are you exactly now? I directed my response to R82, if you're not R82, you're not making a lick of sense! I'm not confusing R82 with anyone else, as I was questioning the one post penned R82, and had specifically and explicitly directed my request to R82.

Get out your screwdriver, as I fear you've got one loose.

Believing that mental health slurs are not bigotry. You do know they used to say that about homosexuality, right?

I am R82 you fucking idiot.

So bloody sick of all the trolls screaming "White Supremacy" and "Casual Racism". I think the racism here isn't coming from White folks, but rather Black and other people of colour.

It's hilarious how precious some of you seem to be when corrected on the finer points of "White Gays' tastes"... When we tell you you're just a bit off here and there, then WE're the racists.... Funny that. Why so defensive, when the few who chimed in were being humorous.

The allusions to Sears photography, and other such ideas are priceless in their demonstrating an innaccurate idea of what any gay men like, let alone all White gay men. R70 is spot on in slamming the post as middle class heterosexual Connecticut, even flyover White gays can do better than that!

R119 Read the fucking thread next time before tossing out accusations of racism you stupid cunt. You're like a mad terrorist throwing incendiaries into a crowd with reckless posts like that. You enjoy throwing petrol on a fire don't you? This is exactly why White people tire so very quickly of the false accusations of White Supremacy and false racism. You exhaust and disrespect the genuine sympathy and outrage we feel for the legitimate variety of racist attacks, and attackers. No one here is disrespecting people of colour, bloody gaslighter. You're doing it to Whites silly cunt.

Would the assholes claiming bigotry in this thread kindly fuck off back to Tumblr? This thread is to demonstrate the stereotypes of rich white gay men, if you can't take the criticism then your posting history better not have a single racist or misogynist comment in it. And you MUST have been completely and totally aghast at every lesbian thread ever created in this board you FAT HYPOCRITES. Now to answer the thread question:

Vacation homes

Barely legal twinks

Plastic surgery

The fall of manners and decency

The stupidity of poorer people

Log cabin Republicanism

Projecting their own racism onto Black people in order to justify doubling down on it.

R121 I do like your answers, but could you clarify your statement as regards bigotry? Do you think the poster claiming White Supremacy and Casual Racism is fair in making such an accusation? Or rather, are you arguing White folks like myself are complaining too much?

I still wholeheartedly believe that the entire subject or premise of making fun of any given race's tastes is in poor taste, and can be easily argued is racially insensitive, or race-baiting. I don't see any of it coming from Whites here is all. Elsewhere on Datalounge is clearly a different story!

Getting offended when somebody calls them out on their offensive bullshit

Rationalizing their offensive bullshit

Doubling down on their offensive bullshit once they have been exposed for the racists they are.

Marginalizing gays of color, gay Jews, and lesbians

So-called 'Progressives' are such a bore.

Shut the fuck up R125, you fucking fascist. Progressive-bashing is incitement to violence.

Making horrifyingly racist remarks and then getting wounded when anyone says anything either remotely critical of gay men. They don't give a shit about lesbians.

They couldn't care less about trans either, r127. But what else is new?

How funny that Miss Matt “Banned from Twitter” Anscher’s response to being ID’d here is to shriek “racist”!

You don’t know the meaning of the word, dear.

Funny how R1 29 keeps doubling down on its racism after already being called out on it multiple times. Just like a typical gay white male racist.

Goysplaining racism to Jews doubles the racism, white boy.

Calling gay men “miss“ is so fucking homophobic that it constitutes incitement to violence.

Anal rejuvenation

Reading for fun DL threads penned by racist oiks, which mischaracterise them.

Southern white rich people love the antebellum South, white supremacy and Donald Trump.

[quote]Fag Hags Charcuterie Boards Vassar Maria Callas

I know what a fag hag is but what are the rest?

Lots of stuff in this thread I never heard of

[quote]Fag Hags Charcuterie Boards Vassar

oh, dear

Vassar - expensive liberal arts college in New York State

Maria Callas - opera singer

Flying first class. The Hamptons. Fire Island is for poor and/or tacky gays. Luxury car service - and I'm not talking Uber Black. Personal assistants. Chartered sailboat around the greek islands for two weeks. Lots of zeros in the bank account and a balanced portfolio.

At least this rich gay person does.

Keeping a sexy, young man, eg. Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld.

Guillotines... or at least they’ll get to try them.

Polo. Not playing it, but being seen at a match.

Sigh....this was sort of a fun thread then got derailed by "Everyone is Racist!" Trolls.

Ormolu ANYTHING.

I don't know any Rich White Gay People (capitalizing because OP did). But there seem to be several people on DL who have to subject the rest of us to their worship of wealth and status.

^^^ If the topic offends you, move along toots.

R150, start a thread about how wonderful it is to live in a low income, high crime neighborhood with gangsters and drug addicts.

Pretentious expensive restaurants.

R150, start a thread about how wonderful it is to live in a low income, high crime neighborhood with gangsters and drug addicts.

Sorry but I don't even understand the point of this thread. Is it a thread for rich white gay people, or for making fun of rich white people? Not surprisingly, it's just turned into people fighting. By the way everyone who isn't rich isn't living in a low income, high crime neighborhood with gangsters and drug addicts. I'm not rich, I live in a nice suburb, very low crime, etc. Not everyone lives in NYC.

R143 thanks for that. I figured out what a Charcruterie Board is from context after reading other replies here and confirmed it from Google. Basically a board with a bunch of bacon, ham, sausage, and other cured meats on it plus cheeses and fruit and nuts etc. Not a fan of cured meats so I'd pass.

Also not a fan of opera, and I went to a technical school so know nothing of Vassar or the like

R149 I fuckin LOVE Ormolu shit but I cant afford it.

Having a (regularly) high-paid personal trainer, a home gym, the finest workout shoes and clothes, a nutritionist and personal chef... and still looking like a bloated unhealthy wreck.

Emotional and physical frailty, which gets worse with age.

R157 how the fuck? I have none of those things, not a bloated unhealthy wreck

Beautiful people, fabulous places and important things being loudly crammed into a dark, airless void that’s always hungry and never grateful.

Cross-Fit!

Using the privilege their wealth buys to plunge blindly and boldly into the hottest business circles, political causes, and culture scenes, making a horrible mess of things, then leaving when they get bored.

This rich white gay loves being able to spell correctly. It's c-h-a-r-c-u-t-e-r-i-e. No r before the u, people!

Distorting their face with every available plastic surgery technique available because money’s no object, until they look like a twisted freak by age 40. Even some guys born with good looks do it. It’s baffling.

Generous contributions to support the increasing education costs for nieces and nephews since my siblings are having a tough time financially.

Unwavering annual support for local arts groups as funding is slashed by all levels of government.

Stepping up financially to keep music in the local high school as funds are diverted to buy new uniforms for the Football team.

Supporting elderly parents while thankful for having the means to do so.

Keeping the Jag in the garage while happily paying the Increasing maintenance costs for the 1999 Honda Civic - the only vehicle I'll drive to a public parking lot since so many SUV operators are not skilled enough to park their goddam cars in the spaces provided.

Happy to be able to tip servers 25%.

Hello My Gays!!!

I'm Lisa Birnbach, author of "The Preppy Handbook"

I am so thrilled to see that even 40 years after its publication, my little book is inspiring a goodly percentage of posts in this thread!

Kisses!!! (AIR kisses, of course!)

I'd say they love to be conservative. It's because many are assholes, love to be "shocking", and exclusive. They want to protect their money, being Conservative is also a status symbol, and it sets them apart from the crazy liberal gays. Also Republicans are the whiter party which is perfect for these types.

Aaron Schock's sugar daddies are exhibit A.

Well r77 and his drawn out comments about these scary black posters was certainly an annoying addition to the DL community. Goodness, when did we get so many weak kneed bitches in here?

R165 Well, congratulations Doris fucking Day!

Appreciating Milo Yiannopoulos, un-ironically. Finding criticisms of Peter Thiel confusing.

Because they drink like Elaine Stritch after a bad review.

R157, I have known tons of people that fit your description, yet none of them were gay. Most, if not all, of them were bi alcoholics. I wonder why that is.

I think everything has been covered at this point.
