Why are most g*y people into cultural and yuppy things?

Question

Most of the g*y people are into things like wine tasting, museum openings, drinking lattes, fashion, and other "yuppy" or "snobbish" things. Aren't there any regular g*y people that shop at Walmart, go to baseball games and just hang around.

Answer 1

Actually, most g*y people are not into all of those things.  That's a stereotype.  Most of us are just regular guys.  I shop at Target, Wal-Mart if I have to, watch basketball, cut the grass, fix the plumbing, and do all sorts of other 'guy' things.  I have never been to a museum opening or a wine tasting (although I like both museums and wine), I drink my coffee black, and get a kick out of finding my 'fashions' at the thrift store.  And most g*y people I know are more like me than the ones you describe.  

Answer 2

I am g*y and I know exactly what you mean.  g*y men are just so complicated.  I think it has a lot to do with the basic thing of trying to fit in.  We struggle with so many issues and we want to fit in.  I think this has made us more "materialistic" than straight people.  We seem to want to impress people and show them how much we have, how many friends we have, how often we travel and how happy we are.  

Also, there definitely are "regular" g*y men out there.  You probably just don't notice them because you think they're straight.  I live in Indiana close to Chicago.  When I go to the bars in the city the guys are complicated and kind of s****..  It's actually much easier to meet someone out here in Indiana.

Pssssssssh I'm no Yuppy lol.

I drink Beer and the only alcohol I'm picky about is my Vodka(has to be russian) and Sparks.

I like to play baseball but I'm more into rugby and hockey..

I like museum's but that has a lot to do with that I'm a nerd :)

The only snobbish thing I do Is not eat meat or use animal products(fur,leather..etc)But thats cause Im for animal rights. My fashion..I make and alter most of my cloths or buy em used..so the stereo type doesn't fit me I guess.

Answer 4

You do not 'chose' to be g*y, but accepting your sexuality takes alot of sole searching and honesty......accepting and living your life to the best/happiest outcome.

To search/reflect so deeply means you are capable of many things, hence i would guess the profound interests you mentioned above are a matter of course.

There is nothing wrong with a little depth, meaning to life......

Answer 5

dude, where are you living? there are many down to earth lgbt people

Answer 6

Certainly -- my partner and I don't go to wine tastings or museum openings, and neither of us drink latte -- however, we have enough money so that we could -- it just doesn't appeal to us.

It is fine for those who like to do it obviously -- and many of those who don't may well be deeply closeted, so you are less likely to notice them.

Kind thoughts,

Answer 7

Unfortunately, the stereotype that you just described above is constantly reinforced by poor representations of the LGBT in the media. As a g*y person myself, I have to tell you that it is absolutely not true in all cases. I'm into cultural and what you refer to as "yuppy" things, but I don't judge others if they aren't. I could watch Project Runway all day, talk about famous artists, then go home and pop open a can of Dr. Pepper and watch some college football. So, while many g*y and straight people might have more artistic interests and inclinations, it doesn't mean that's all we're into.  

Answer 8

Wine is good, yuppies shouldn't be the only ones who get to drink it.

Yes, there are a ton of "normal" g*y people out there, not everyone's a stereotype :p

Answer 9

You're focusing on the wrong stereotype. I don't like many of those things. Sure, I appreciate art (I also paint), but I can't taste the difference between wines. I like to dress well, but I don't know much of designer labels or fashion. I try not to shop at Walmart because they exploit their workers and are overall an evil company. I like video games, hanging out, making out, going to the beach, exploring through jungles and wild bays. I'm pretty much the best of both worlds :).

Answer 10

Most g*y men find baseball boring . Society tells g*y men they must play the role the dumb blond actresses play in shallow movies . Which is a  role many smart actresses play to pay the rent . Many g**s accept this shallow self image , and try hard to never think deeply .  

Answer 11

Most g*y people are normal, its just the "flamboyant ones that stand out. THey are the ones you see doing thees things, please try not to categorize us.

Answer 12
