That would imply it's the gay community itself that is not accepting flamboyant gays.....
The gay community is not uniformly homogeneous. There are plenty of gay men who aren’t big fans of flamboyant queer culture.
"Aren't big fans" is not the same as being bigoted, or discriminating against....
Do think there are some Lincoln Republic gays out their thinking Tommy is going to hell, not because he's queer, but because he sashays too hard?
Have you ever talked to gay men?
Unironically my best friend is a lesbian. She makes fun of flamboyant men or exceptionally butchy women but its not in a genuinely hateful way. She and her wife use terminology I've never dreamed of to describe other queer folk too. A "Hey mama" is my favorite recent one, pretty sure it means an attention seeking lesbian. So I kinda see what you're both saying. Dude saying some gay people HATE flamboyant gay men is less correct though. I played the "I have a gay friend" card it was super effective. Thats three non trolling responses so far.
Yes? I'm even friends with several queer people.....shocking as that may be.
I even know a few conservative leaning gay dudes, our gay district has a gaybar specifically for cowboys. Even they don't hate or discriminate against flamboyant gay men. They might not seek their company or want anything to do with that particular scene, but they are still neighborly.
Homeboy played the "I have gay friends" card, it was super effective.
Shhhh they wanna use a big paint brush, it supports their argument
