This trend of young gays wearing makeup and nail polish and dresses is bizarre

OP is the hat wearing blob in this cartoon

It's not a trend, nelly queens have been around since the dawn of time. That's not most gay men.

OP has dementia to think it's new.

Elder OP probably hated when pharaoh would put on eyeliner and paint his nails.

But aren't you clutching your pearls as we speak, OP?

Boomer old fat farts hate freedom of expression. They should immigrate to Russia or China or North Korea.

Don’t forget the hideous permed hair in what used to be a style favoured only by old women.

OP = Get off my lawn, you punks!

Eye makeup could be more mainstream. I don't know enough about it to say how, but i like the look among young gay men with a bit of eye makeup.

A la Adam Lambert R12? Quite dramatic, I like that too, but probably not in the daylight.

What I want to know is when are Grandpas "male clutch" AKA purse coming back into style from the 70's? Messenger bags don't count.

[quote] But everyday gays doing this like it’s completely normal is jarring.

That’s your problem, Karen.

Honey, the 80s and 00s are calling.

Some lip gloss too.

r15 this one is quite jarring. promoting themselves as a homosexual "male" but seems like "his" fans are being JT LeRoy'd - faux'ish online history, online started including gay men in 'his' activism a year ago.

R16 80’s and 00’s BC?? Cause eye makeup for men was mainstream then too, and thousands of years prior.

Jesus christ, did some of you old farts just crawl out from under a rock. As said above, nelly queens doing this shit have been around forever. None of this new. But it's not necessarily 'most' gays either. Relax.

Yes r13 like Adam Lambert. Of course i agree it's best as evening makeup.

I simple won't stand for it!

This one did it all the time.

My prude conservative brother (34, so not elderly) refuses to buy coffee from a local coffee shop because he's creeped out by the young guy barista with painted nails and blue hair who serves him. I think it's funny.

The downside of social media is how it sometimes humors Karens who are offended or creeped out by the smallest of things. Many years ago , the alt-right mocked Liberal snowflakes while those very same Right Wing Conservatives, even today, lack the self awareness of how much their actions make them look like snowflakes crying and crawling into the nearest right wing safe space.

And the pearls!
