What kind of gay are you?

I Like Guys · 06-22-2008, 01:15 AM

Okay, so the gay pride festival got me thinking about the different classifications of gays. I'm talking about stuff like bear, leather, effeminate (AKA flamer - but I don't like saying flamer), punk/emo/goth, twink, or not classified (someone that, if u saw them walking down the street, you'd probably just assume they were straight - bland clothes, etc.) Stuff like that, because at my pride festival, those groups were pretty distinct. How would you classify yourself, or how have others classified you? Also, what type are you most attracted to? And when I was there, someone asked me if I was "vogue" or if I "vogue" or something like that, and I had (and still have) no idea what she was talking about.

Anyways - I asked my friends and stuff what I would be classified as, and I could barely finish the question when they were like, "twink ... yeah, definitely twink." I was glad they said I was a twink because I'm definitely most attracted to twinks - I love a guy that knows what to do with his hair. Although, I must admit, there was this one bear wearing leather at the festival, and he was soo hott (I normally don't like leather or bears).

** Oh, wait, one more thing ... My friends said that there are a couple bad qualities about twinks, but I don't have those qualities, just to clarify: 1) I'm not an asshole about looks, like I would never tell someone they were too ugly to date (if it ever was the reason, I would never admit to them that it was), and 2) I don't sleep around, I think that's immoral **

So yeah, spill the beans! so to say

Umm I guess I'm the straight-gay... but that makes sense b/c I'm bi. lol
And I'm attracted to guys who act straight and twinks. lol I hate the word twink though... makes me think of twinkies which are the most disgusting snack food ever created lol.

im not really sure why anyone would care to label people what "type" of gay they are o_O

I'm not classified, but i don't see where you're getting at with "straight - bland clothes, etc.", there are plenty of straight guys or so-called "Straight-acting" gay guys who dress in a very stylish, unique way without "seeming gay"

homos aren't the only ones who know how to dress

And I'm attracted to straight/twink, too.
So I'm quite the same as you.

Hehe, i was wondering when this would come up.
people call me an emo and i don't mind cause i think they're hot.
i think i'm an otter and i really find them hot too.

I'm a preppy dressing camp kind of gay who walks around with a cute prada bag and my guine pig in it. Get the jist?

iop92 · 06-22-2008, 09:47 AM

Ehhh... I dress normal, like everyone does. Y'know, jeans and T-shirt?

rileycoyote · 06-22-2008, 10:14 AM

I'm a bit camp, and i'm probably part-twink (it sounds weird saying youre a twink)
I like all kinds of gays, but my favorite kind is punk.

killingloneliness · 06-22-2008, 10:25 AM

im often classified as emo, but u wouldnt look at me or talk to me and think that im gay. it was a huge surprise to many ppl that im gay. lots of ppl dont think im gay and completely deny it!

Queer Lemon · 06-22-2008, 10:34 AM

first of all, its called straight acting, not straight? cause whats the point of that oxymoron? a straight gay? no.

as for me, im slightly more of a twink than straight acting, even though the concept of straight acting sounds better, i admit that i can be a jerk about looks sometimes.

**Adrastus** · 06-22-2008, 10:51 AM

straight acting - Definitely ahaha
the only thing that sets me apart from straight-acting gays... is my music.

iop92 · 06-22-2008, 10:55 AM

Why do you call it acting? It's not. Does the fact that you're gay mean that you need to dress in a specific way? I don't think so... It's just clothes. Doesn't say a lot about your sexuality, if anything - your personality.

rileycoyote · 06-22-2008, 10:56 AM

lol when I've wondered if a guy is gay I'll check their iPod for clues

iop92 · 06-22-2008, 10:58 AM

Heh, won't work on me either. I'm a 70s rock fan.
