Today when a guy I’d been online flirting with took it a step further and “friended” me on Facebook, the first thing that he typed to me was, “Do you do drag?”
Say what???
Me: “No, why do you ask that?”
Him: “You have an awful lot of drag pictures in your profile…”
Me: “Well, I’ve known quite a few drag queens in my life, but I don’t do drag. I’m much too hairy and mannish-looking. Could you imagine what my electrolysis bill would be like?”
Him: “Good. I don’t do drag.”
So, I’m thinking, is he just saying that he doesn’t “do” drag literally or by saying he doesn’t “do” drag, is he saying that he doesn’t tolerate it or like it?
After talking with him further, I find out that he’s one of those self-hating gays that are so obsessed with passing for straight that they loath all things that could be stereotyped as “gay”.
Drag
Show tunes
Leather
Transgender
Calling each other “Gurl” or “Miss Thang”
People with AIDS
Dance music
Femmy Guys
Eating quiche or salads
Wearing cologne
It’s a damn shame that we can’t all pull together and love each other instead of discriminating within our own community. I know I’m not telling you anything new, but just like the multicolor strips in the rainbow flag, we do come in all shapes, sizes, colors and persuasions, it’s asinine to forget that. We of all people need to embrace diversity instead of vilifying other gays because we don’t personally find them fuckable.
Btw…
I “unfriended” that guy after only 30 minutes.
Life is too short to hang with assholes.
