I was born feminine and have been all of my Life and always had alot of Friends growing up. The Jocks had no problem being my Friend. I do not Swish. I just have a Pretty face, Smooth Skin, Tiny Body, hairless, Long sexy Legs and a Paid small clevage. Have not had any problem Picking up the Hottest Construction Workers right off the street. Then sending them home to pick up their children and Wife by 5. And they were the Bottoms. As Well as having Married Men see me walking in the Street or to a club. Only to have them search for me and beg me to be theirs. They know that I am a Male and claim that they are straight. Promising me expensive Gifts etc. However, I brush them off and tell them that I am not interested. I'm Hot, Sexy and have been a Sales Executive for many Years. I am the Head Bitch and I have had a long successful career getting paid to push around straight Men and boys. My Straight Boy Employees love me and would fight for me. Anything I need, they will do for me. I am not interested in them. It is pure business. I teach them how to be successful and encourage them . I have never been with a feminine Male. Most of my Boyfriends have been 1st timers who have dated Females. I am now a Fem Cougar able to pick up Hot Boys half my Age. So if you are a Young Feminine Male be proud of who you are. Get your education and you too can have a Great Life as I have. It took me a few years to figure out the Power of the Feminine Male. MYFIRSTBOYFRIEND, Phoenix, AZ
This seems to be a great example as to why so many people are intolerant toward femme gays. Like I said, pretentious.
I'll start off by saying - I'm a feminine gay guy, not outrageously so, but I couldn't claim to be macho. So I see this from a totally different perspective. I think that it's a damn shame so many guys have said how they "hate" queeny guys, come on fella's - where is the love? Gay people are a minority and we should embrace all the wonderful differences we have, rather than segregating and hating on our own kind. Femme guys are on the front line - we're the one's that get called "faggot" from people driving by on the street, and we're the one's that are targets by homophobes and cowards. A straight acting gay guy can stand on his soap box and declare that a queen is less of a man, but it's the queen's that fought for your rights and it's the queens that continue to this day to take the fall while the straight acting guys watch on in silence. Remember, it was a fabulous drag queen who initially defied the police at the Stonewall Riots.
You may not be attractive to femme guys, that's of course your choice, but I think it's shameful to see so many people spewing out so much disdain for another person based on their personality. Amen.
I don't think it's completely fair to say that "the queens" are solely the ones who fought for gay rights. Harvey Milk wasn't exactly a queen and he was obviously a gay right's activist. But otherwise, I do see and agree with what you're saying. "The queens" truly are the ones who have established and maintained gay culture. I just wish some queens weren't so inclined to act superior to everyone else. The swish is fine, but the arrogance has to go.
Also, a personality a person may not agree with is the only reason why a person should ever hold disdain toward another person. We shouldn't hate a person based on their physical make-up, religion or ethnicity, but we sure can hate a person for acting like a complete prick.
