Originally posted by sym I saw the south park episode on this. I didn't know it was a real show. I have no problem with being homosexual but you have admit it's a bit of a strange idea. What channel is this on anyway?

ah yeah, the episode where all the guys became metrosexuals except mr. garrison. freaking hilarious.


what was even more funny was when I ofund out that there actually is a term called metrosexual. what have we come to.

i love this show. even my dad watches queer eye. freaking hilarious.

as for making things worse for gay men...... i don't think so. it does reinforce some stereotypes about gay men but so what. it says they know how to cook, decorate, dress well, and groom themselves. whats so bad about that. not all gay men are like the fab 5 but then again not all str8 guys are like the ones on the show.

the five guys on the show seem to enjoy it, and the str8 guy getting the make over looks happy, whats the problem?

*coughcough* Though, I'm not a transvestite, rather transsexual, but they're unfortunately usually grouped into the same category. :/
(bleh, to clarify a bit -- a tranvestite is someone who dresses up on occasion as the opposite gender for fun or sexual gratification (AKA crossdresser). A transsexual is someone who believes they are the wrong gender and seeks various biochemical treatments to reverse it. They wish to live all the time as the gender opposite the one they were given at birth. I usually always specify my gender as female, but there's always someone out there who bugs out and says, "OMG U USED TO BE A GUY U LIAR!", so I mention it out of consideration...)

Well, even positive stereotypes are bad, in my opinion, as they can make people have prior expectations of your behaviour and consequently become upset with you when you do not conform to them. Even positive stereotypes are restricting.

Have you heard of the new gang for Latin Gays??? It's called Los Homos Locos... Their signature "hit" is a drive-by redecorating...

Did you hear about the US Supreme court has ruled that gays should be now called Anal-Americans?

j/k... take no offense. but if you do... YOU'RE GAY!

Originally posted by arctic I think it's fantastic myself, hopefully it will go some way to downgrading the levels of homophobia that exist in the world today.

i don't think it will. In fact, it will widen the GAP between homo- and heretrosexual people even more by segregating them. it reinforces stereotypes and that is wrong.

Originally posted by DJ Nuclear Honestly, I don't like it, and I think it only makes things worse for Further, why is it okay to base a show on stereotypes like this anyway? If they had a show that had white guys being taught how to carjack, eat fried chicken, and sell crack in brooklyn by a bunch of black guys, or a show where buck toothed asians helped tutor americans and get them higher grades on their math tests, don't you think there'd be some objections raised by people? Not that I can exactly speak for the whole gay community because I'm not, though I am trans and bi.

good point
