What is the source of these issues?

Maybe men should stop being so shitty to men, but more so they should definitely stop being so hostile and abusive to women.

Maybe it’s not all men and using such generic language is akin to saying, “maybe the gays should stop being so flamboiyant if they want acceptance”?
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.
Shhhh they wanna use a big paint brush, it supports their argument

“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?

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.
