What screams “I’m not like you other gays”?

Dressing normally rather than some sort of fashionista

I say "yes" instead of "yas".

Straining your pasta.

Driving a BMW instead of a Mercedes-Benz.

Bracelets and muu-muus instead of earrings and caftans.

Purposefully selected bro clothes.

Full-calorie anything - no 'light' - no light beer, diet soda, reduced fat anything.

R4 - no gays I've known have bought BMWs since the 90s. It's a douchebag car.

BMW = Bavarian Manure Wagon (as the saying goes)

Dressing like a Regency dandy AND having a porn career.

Not on the pill and don’t care for drag queens.

Being a straight guy and loving pussy

The sprinkler trick is a kinda cool.

Owning the entire catalogue of Toby Keith.

I've never been, and never will go, to Key West, Provincetown or Fire Island.

Running for congress as a Republican.

Having so many rewards points you can buy ANYTHING in the Men's Shop at Cracker Barrel.

R13 - well, you're missing out on Provincetown - you should go once in your life. The other two are a safe pass.

Don't care for Sondheim.

I don't use tell people "my pronouns".

I remind people I'm not "LGBTQIA+", I'm just gay.

I repeatedly tell people I'm "not into the scene."

Earrings

CAFTANS!

R4- Driving an EIGHT year old Camry instead of a Mercedes or a BMW.

A cum and pee hole just above my balls.

R17: the first work I saw of his was Passion. So hetero I was bored to tears.

Saying "Holland" instead of "Netherlands".

I watch pro golf. And I'm very, very gay.

"Passion" is TERRIBLE.

Regularly having sex with a member of the opposite sex.

And liking it.

Never seen Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes, Mame or Showgirls.

R28- That screams I'm NOT gay at all.

r28 missing point of the thread.

I've never heard gays discuss BMWs vs. Mercedes until I read this thread

Decorum.

I’m not -

SCENEY

QUEENY

BITCHY

Not being in to anything Disney.

[quote] Never seen Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes, Mame or Showgirls.

Well, I must be one of them since I don't get why, as a gay man, should like that turd called "Showgirls". It's just an idiotic film that needs to stay as an IDIOTIC FILM and not being pushed to exhaustion as some kind of "guilty pleasure" or a "misunderstood classic". If the movie was called "ShowBoys", then I would've been interested.

Regarding the other films I did watch "Steel Magnolias" and loved it. I only saw once "Fried Green Tomatoes" when I was a kid and I only remember the scene where a guy is killed by a train. And "Mame"... no thanks, not interested.

Gay? I think you mean Queer, OP?

R23 - pics or it didn’t happen

This thread is very the lady doth protest

Not caring what the "other gays say"

The drugs. I just feel like such an oursider in clubs. The sad thing is, anyone ive spoken to separately on a normal day, says they wished they hadnt entered into it all and talk of the come downs etc.

I enjoyed my time when I was running with a fun group of gay men in Chicago. The gay scene had something for everyone. So much better than NYC in terms of creating real friendships. The bars like Sidetrack and Big Chicks truly gave back to the community. But even back then 15 years ago, I knew it was not home. Living in a predominately gay scene got old because I didn't share the love of the music, the divas, drag queens, gay "fashion and fads", the lingo, the drugs, the hypersexualized vibe. I'm more comfortable in a sleepy suburb with my husband. Homebodies. Dog parents. I'm glad I have experienced it all but also glad I found my place.

I own a shirt.

I don't wear scarves in the summer.

I hate the new queens on RuPaul's Drag Race

[quote]What screams “I’m not like you other gays”?

Well, obviously but for the record, the first answer is queens screaming, "I'm not like you other gays."

A fish hook through my cheek on a line to my totally straight friend's fishing rod reel that he keeps flicking upward as he walks behind me because we're rogue street performers and because I had my lips plumped trout-pout style in solidarity with feminists across the world

No deodorant here and the sun is hot.

I prefer pubs or blue-collar joints to gay bars.

[quote]R27 "Passion" is TERRIBLE.

I have come to like it. Well, listening to it. I went through a period where I was playing it a lot while driving..

Hating drag queens, drag shows, anything drag

R32

[quote] I never heard gays discuss... Mercedes until I read this thread.

McCambridge? Oh, we talk about her all the time!

I don’T parTy

r34 or I am "discrete"

r50 But drag sucks.

r25 Seems brits do that in general. I always hear Americans of all sexual orientations say the Netherlands.

You don't give a fuck about Golden Girls.

Lots of discrete (sic) guys in profiles. R53.

Hating Bowen Yang

Being happy
