I wonder if they are indeed anti-queer or feel the need to put on that image so nobody suspects they are gay themselves.Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-42122608656240834502009-11-21T13:59:25.755-05:002009-11-21T13:59:25.755-05:00I support any efforts to make ambiguous the otherw...I support any efforts to make ambiguous the otherwise binary gender typing that goes on in this country. Gender expression is a spectrum, as is sexual identity.<br /><br />So long as "metrosexual" men (and women) are not also homophobes, I think ambiguity is a valid form of self-presentation and can be a path to being a straight ally.The BOGO Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941094089931040019noreply@blogger.com
