What are your honest thoughts as someone more acquainted with the community?
Back in my days of denial, I dated many girls. All of them were very man-like. One of them was so convincing that when I first met her I thought she was a guy (she was also very flat if you know what I mean).
I am neither very masculine nor very feminine. I am just average, although I do tend to lean toward my masculine side more. I hang out with people that go to beer drinking parties. I date guys that are just average like me. I never hold hands. I never display public affections (not even when I was dating girls). When I walk down the street or in the mall with my b/f, you'd think that we were just a couple of friends. People didn't even know that my g/f were my g/f. I wear things like bd pants to shorts to jeans to those 2.99 shirts they sell in walmart.
However, within the gay community that I am in I'd have to say that over half of the people I know are somewhere between very feminine and just plain fruity. They can't say a paragraph without making a compliment on how nice my shoes are. They can't walk down a block without holding hands or kissing their loved ones. They can't just wake up in the morning and not spend 30-45 minutes in the bathroom getting ready (I spend about 5-10, if that). They must almost always wear the most fruity clothes imaginable. In other words, they are the complete opposite of what I am. They hate watching sports. They don't drink beer.
Now, imagine everything in between.
Like atheletes, doctors, dogs, cats, chinchillas, ants, Italians, Germans, Jews, christians, etc. there are different "types" of homosexuals. The only difference is while the rest try to score with every member of the opposite sex they could get their hands on, we try to score with every member of the same sex we could get to. However, the difference is like one group worshipping Christ while the other still waiting for their savior. Oh wait, because of that little difference you persecuted them for centuries. Never mind (being sarcastic).
But seriously, of course there are different "types" of gays. What, you thought we were all the obvious types before? I'll give you a hint, most people have trouble believing I was gay and a heterophobe... and a girlphobe.
