I Am A Gay-Basher
Yes, apparently Kitchenmage thought my Stormhoek post, which was wondering whether or not a man is gay if he orders white wine in a bar, was “gay-bashing”.
I kinda forget that there are a lot of people in the world who really want to be ‘good people’ and think that means that they shouldn’t say funny/bad things about people who aren’t ‘normal’/like them… but their lives probably don’t have too many ‘not normal’ people in them so they don’t really know how to act around people who aren’t exactly like them. They seem to think that ‘not normal’ people need to be treated in a special way… kind of like children. Smile at them a lot and try very hard to believe that they can never do anything ‘bad’ (‘My gay friend at work, Bob, is so nice I can’t believe he’d ever do… you know… *that*…’)…And you certainly can’t make *jokes* about gayers. Heaven forbid!
It’s either that or the fact that they don’t live in a big GAY city filled with flouncy fags and muscle marys and boyish dykes and lipstick lezzas and S&M freaks of all persuasions and trannies and queers and those filthy, filthy bisexuals. They don’t have the chance to walk down the street and see girls holding hands with girls, boys holding hands with boys… They probably can’t even imagine that there are places where there are restaurants filled with gay boys and girls who actually sit, talk and eat (drink white wine if they’re really fucking poofy) and not even ONCE run off to the the toilets to have sex. They don’t have the chance to go to bars filled with gay girls who wouldn’t dream of calling themselves *feminists* who spend the night paying girls for lapdances. They’ve probably never spent most of the night in the male toilets at a gay club comforting their friend whose boyfriend dumped him that day… only to be left on their own when he meets someone hot and goes home without telling them. They’ve probably never even met a lesbian who used to be a man. Or a lesbian who has fallen in love with a man who used to be a woman. They probably never been to a drag show. They’ve probably never been to a drag king show. They’ve probably never even *seen* a drag king. They probably don’t even know what a drag king is… I would certainly bet that Kitchenmage has never sported a moustache at her friend’s birthday party and thought she looked fucking hot. I have. Look.
Gay bashing. My arse.

Yesterday on BBC London they were saying have any straight men bought Christmas presents yet?
I bought a few things already.
I drank mostly white wine on the weekend but all the men either drank red wine or beer. I wasn’t feeling too well and I think I might have had my fill of red on Thanksgiving.
I like Fashion TV for vegging out, and told the misses to shut it when they were doing the photoshoot on Make me a Supermodel.
I like clothes shopping (only for me)
I like taking pictures of flowers
I have atleast 3 ‘gay’ belts
I like Versace, and Prada and only Paul Smith for shirts. But I’m going off them a bit.
I use to wear a long earing in my left ear through most of the 80s, knifes, daggers and skull cross ones. (or Nazi ones)
First school accepted to for college was Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, but couldn’t get in till January term so went to NYIT, bad move.
My Ducati Monster isn’t very gay, but the biker boots I’m wearing are a bit bearish.
Does this make me gay?
Actually Ducatis are very gay. Especially when they blow up.
Gia, I dream of being bashed by you. Please bash me. I like it that way.
(the basic rule of life: if it’s consensual, it’s all good.)
oops I meant right ear (they use to say right is wrong).

and yeah Jas the Sport Bikes are for young (they think they are hot) macho men. But I thought Harley’s were for big gay men in leather? I hate how the English like Harley’s and Buell’s I prefer to Mambo Italiano!
Ooo missus. Well I tell everyone and everything it’s gay. Habit from school. I also say ‘wizard’ a lot so those anti-Harry Potter people probably hate me because I’m probably dissing Pagans or encouraging wizardry in young children by using it or something. Convert ye all to witchery (and then lez up and write fanfic about it, please)!
I use some of my Bostonian sayings but get funny looks or shocked looks like when I said to some a woman at work that she couldn’t do something because it was ‘retarded’. Use a bit of Wicked Pissa, but am trying not to use the term for liquor store since it’s an offensive English term and it sort of fits too.

oh and yesterday I was a bit gay bashing about Brighton….
It’s where the 2007 typographic conference will be held. AtypI 2007 (Association Typographique Internationale). I expect the theme to be ‘Rockers v Mods’ since the new president Jean François Porchez is an ex-Lambrette riding modster with a tattoo of a scooter on his arm. So I will definitely ride the Ducati motocicolo in full black leathers to Brighton in September.
*nobody* with sense likes Harleys. They are bloody awful bikes. This is what I’m riding this past five years or so:
Lizzie
oh I think I invented a saying ‘ I used it’ over the Thanksgiving meal for 5, 2 are gay men and 3 others we believe are straight.
Me misses said that her old ex-roomate use to be married and then went gay.
I said ‘who david?’ ‘HE’S GAY AS A HANDBAG!’. To which one of our guests said ‘how does gay look?’ I said he’s think dresses nice and works for a large department store as a buyer of women’s clothes… that’s gay as a handbag.
one thing I can’t stand is those trendy lipstick carpet munchers.
This is my kind of lezza, she was my favourite gay friend!

There doesn’t seem to be an equivalent of “gayer” for bisexuals though. Maybe we should invent one.
Also I am not filthy. I have just got out of the bath. I am somewhat impure of mind and motive, though.
Cat fight!!
hey vince, is this your kind of lezzer? windswept and interesting
Vince, but… I thought you *were* a poof. ;)
Creepy- I agree. Everything and everyone is gay. They have to prove otherwise. I’m very rarely convinced.
Jas- Oh… You filthy, filthy bisexual, you. ;)
I see a motorcycle mirror in the background so maybe so…. but I didn’t see a link in your ‘Lizzie’ link…
p.s and that ‘gay as a hand bag guy’ is ‘thin’ & dresses nice (not think) I spell like a programmer!
I’m a Rocker feeling gay oh yeah…

Yeah, vince, Lizzie is my bike- she’s in the background of the windswept photo (taken just after I’d ridden 1200 km!)
were is the rest of Lizzie? I only see a mirror. and where did you go 1200km to? I think I’ll do the London to Brighton run a few times down the old A24 by passing the A23 since that’s a bit boring and motorway like.
Oh and I’ve been wearing my Blauer Policeman’s jacket like a Village People person since the weather has gone Pete Tonge…and I love the Wimbledon Fox fur collar! but it’s not in the picture. I’m also wearing today my Blauer policeman jumper it’s nice an warm with a high collar and side zipper on the neck. and have my gay biker boots on too.
PC has really gotten out of control. And it seems to be mainly promoted by the people with the narrowest minds and the most prejudices (which, I guess is your point). In a twisted kind of way, PC almost seems to be the new puritanism. By “protecting” the feelings of all those who are “outside the norm” (“the norm”, meaning white, straight, middle-class, christians of course), they gently but effectively close down any kind of honest, open dialog. PC really becomes a way to block out those things that “the norm” finds uncomfortable.
I’m a white, straight, middle-class, NON-Christian, so I guess that technically puts me outside the norm. I took my kids to the Gay Pride Festival this year and it was fun. But I must admit, I do not know what a drag KING is. Man, would I love to go to a drag KING show. That sounds like a blast!
In my corner of the world, the definition of “norm” is even more tightly defined. If you don’t golf, watch sports and deer hunt, you are not normal. So I don’t golf, watch sports or deer hunt, I prefer red wine instead of beer, I’m not Christian, I like to read, play piano, write strange stories AND I took my kids to the Gay Pride Festival.
Where I come from, that pretty much makes me King of the Gays! Maybe I will throw my own Drag King Show. I just have to find out what a “Drag King” is first.
Just don’t discuss any of this out loud. It may not be PC.

Happy World AIDS day: a Message from Bono
p.s. be the first to comment on my new blog. I’d give you a present but can’t think of one right now.
Gugon- Drag Kings. :) I think you should become the first reverse Victor Victoria (would that be Gugonia Gugon?)- a man posing as a woman posing as a man…
i must say, that photo is damn hot.
Gugon, don’t confuse “political correctness” with “whatever it is that the pain-in-the-neck crew is shoving down our throats to make us hate real political correctness”. Real political correctness means respecting other people and their ways of life; this is a bit like the retarded implementations of EU directives we keep getting- deliberately misimplemented laws intended to undermine the purpose behind the directives in the first place. In countries where the government isn’t run by the ancient, stupid, richest, etc., these problems do not exist.
Gia was on TV again and made a lesbian comment…about a sci-fi movie and some woman looking like a lesbian dominatrix.
haha she did real well. Maybe I’ll snap a few screen shots.
*whew* You really brought a strong slap of reality to your post. It sounds like you know exactly what it is you’re talking about, which is a strong contrast to some of the PC crowd.
Yea totally, You said it all man.
