I reckon I lean a lot more to the latter assumption personally, but thats because i love a good discussion.<BR/><BR/>and anyway, how are you?? xAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762607572746894100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35889923.post-23453743686106072142007-08-03T15:11:00.000+12:002007-08-03T15:11:00.000+12:00Great post :DThis is true of a lot of minorities, ...Great post :D<BR/><BR/>This is true of a lot of minorities, where subscribing to a stereotype means that you are "suitable for consumption" and if you're not, then.. well.. go away. :\<BR/><BR/>And there rly is such a push now for "normal" gay ppl. Like "fine fine, you're gay, just act like a normal person then, that's ALL that's wrong with you right?" >.><BR/><BR/>There are effeminate straight men too! >:|<BR/><BR/>Neways...
