to shout me down - that doesn't happen much in this forum, but still, I don't want to deliberately piss anyone off.
If I had to forward a generalization about which I feel rock solid convinced, it's that American men are uniquely homophobic, and that most ALL American men (straight, bi, and gay) subscribe to the idea that "gay = Liberace," and NOT "gay = the lead characters in Brokeback Mountain," NOT "gay = Billy Budd", NOT even "gay = Rock Hudson." I guess the gay version of Halle Berry's 'one-drop rule', which is her idea that one drop of black blood makes someone 100% black; similarly, I think Americans hold fast to the idea that even one fantasy about a same-sex blowjob, and that's it - you are a screaming, screeching Liberace queen, forever and EVER!!!!
I see it all the fucking time. An opposite-gender couple fondling each other in public in the center of the subway car making glances with other riders while seeking approval, and the gay couple discreetly keeping cool, off to the side, minding their own business. Yeah, there's definitely resentment. It is what it is.
Hope that makes some kind of sense. Peace.
