Using Languish as an example, I would say that the only gay here that can pass for normal is Shielbh.

That's a very small and not representative sample. ;)

That's true, but they're also the only gays that I would ever know, aside from a couple of useless fairies that I used to work with.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Are you sure? It is entirely possible that you might interact frequently with gays that you don't know are gay.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.  If Neil thinks that the only gay men are the ones that fit his stereotype then I think he is in for a bit of a suprise.  I know that when the culture around Vancouver became more accepting and people started coming out of the closet I have to admit I had to adjust my preconceptions as well.

Although we all know that Neil is mainly trolling here.

Alberta has no homosexuals :contract:

Perhaps Polish ones. Here in the US though, I'd say no.

My wife's assistant (a very large gay man) wears makeup :mellow:

I work with at least two homosexual lawyers though.

(I say at least because there may be more I don't know).

Did you read the post I quoted? Neil said "aren't you all pretty effeminate" to which I responded "not in the US".  Your one example does not illustrate that we are all effeminate. I'm not sure it says anything except well perhaps things about you. :P

Probably not.  I don't really go out of my way to meet new people.  I have a core of friends from when I was a boy, and some folks that I play cards with.

Chillax. I was just throwing it out there. Not even I would make sweeping judgments using a sample size of one.

This little hijack does make me wonder how much of the image of gay people being effeminate is a cultural cant from the days when they were more underground and had to spot each other somehow and how much is genuine. As certainly more effeminate guys tend to be gay than straight. Or is it just that the effeminate straights have to put on more of a macho image. hmm.....
