    I mean I definitely can’t imagine him loving a woman (ew gay, right fellas?)

    He’s a man’s man through and through

    To be honest, I never truly believed that the Republicans would be the first party to elect a president who sucks cock.

    That group of men who were probably gay yet had turbulent relations with women.

    Roy Cohn had several girlfriends and apparently thought about proposing to Barbara Walters. Everything points to him being gay. He was a bullying, brilliant sociopath. Helped out significantly with McCarthyism.

    Trump. Just seems to use women, talks trashy about them, but can’t seem to have a decent relationship with a single one. Narcissistic sociopath, definitely not brilliant. Anti-socialist at least.

    Possibly John Wayne. Beat the crap out of women, with several relationships and wives. Loved hanging out with men (John Ford and his buddies) Rabid anti-communist, also supporting McCarthy’s Red Scare.

    Wonder how many other men were internally and externally destructive thanks to being forced into society’s mold in conflict with who they really were.

      Please stop stereotyping us like this. We are not all a bunch of fucking Queer Eye characters.

        Omg I hated that show… I’d like that saw the bit in Queer as Folk that was amazing at being super critical of commercializing gayness and they decided to make a show out of it like “wait, but what if we could actually make a shit ton of money off of stereotypes?”

        That’s fine, but having heard so many times from openly gay people statements like the following, and I quote,

        “Gay.”

        “That is SO gay.”

        “Gay.”

        “Gay!”

        “Oh. Yeah. Gay.”

        . . . you have to accept that at a certain level of commentary, the call is coming from inside the house.

        TL;DR: I don’t know what looks gay because I am some self-proclaimed cis-het expert on gayness; I know what might look gay because I was personally tutored by obviously authentic experts in the field. Just sayin.

          Gay folks can be edgy shitheads too, though. I would not let any of my queer friends get away with using the word “gay” as a pejorative. I’m not asking that you push back against them, just understand why I choose to do even if you don’t.

            Not every gay person is a self-loather, kid.

            Note: I had deleted my two comments because I genuinely did not want to offend, but when I realized that these “gay” observations, made by men my age who are simply glad to still be standing after the debacle that was the latter part of the last century, were being taken for internalized homophobia I put my comments right back. If anything they are celebratory and may they ever be so. Given what these guys have survived they have every right to be happy, and as far as I am concerned so does every gay person. Nothing wrong with being gay at all, and never has been.

            So you need to sit down with that self-hating shit, because it does NOT apply to Every Gay Person Ever.

      I think it’s why Liberace was mentioned. In the closet and (what I would describe) as gay with bad taste.

      I am gay, i have great taste. I consider myself in the know enough to inform you not all gay people have good taste. Some have no taste. Some have bad taste. Some have really bad taste. There is this bias thing going on where you only notice the times your belief is confirmed. And yes, many people with great taste are gay. But there are exceptions. Some people with great taste aren’t even the slightest bit gay. Not sure about Trump though. I consider him someone who definitely has a taste. And all the gold is quite gay. The amount of gold in his penthouses is so extreme it must be some sort of kink. It’s beyond overcompensation. Him being gay would explain a lot.

    When you accept him as gay, the hair, makeup, ballroom, and Liberace-themed decorations suddenly makes a lot more sense.
