More from Bob Buffalo
I have this student in my class that is openly gay.
And when I say openly gay I mean that any time you give him he will make you sure that he is Gay.
He has a button that "prohibits homphibics". His notebooks and books are wrapped with rainbows and phrases like "hurray for diveristy" "down with homophobia" "is good to be different" and so on. He uses the colors of the rainbows in said books, rings, bracelets. Has a 2 male sign together as a necklace, uses marilyn manson-like boots. Has his hair covering his right eye, His fingernails painted as black. Has earring in both ears...
...ok you know what I mean.
Incredibly, he hasn't find any bash from the students. In fact they don't care that much and many tolerate him, Which I think is great actually. I cannot imagine such scenario 10 years ago or more.
Is it a sign that this forgotten country is moving to tolerance?
is just a kid that is starving for attention?
or Is this kid actually doing what I should be doing? get out if this everydaymore narrowing closet and accept myself withiut fear to be rejected?
I feel very uncomfortable around him..and it makes me feel guilty a lot because, well as you know, I am a gay man.
But then really honestly...I am not "gay".
I am homosexual, yes. I do LOVE men, yes.
but Gay, as "the gay community/culture"...no I don't.
I don't like it actually. I find it ridiculous. The "guidelines", the parades, the stupid cult to youth and slim bodies, the bars, the bear scene, the clothes, the hairstyle...
I am actually the most boring "gay" dude around. I can even dare to say that I am an average joe that likes guys and not women.
And that's it.
Am I wrong or something?
33 (soon) years old and I am still debating this...

I think you and I are very similar in that respect. Though I tend to have a kinda emo looking hairstyle, it doesn't go over my eyes, isn't dyed and isn't straightened. I dont wear the clothes, I'm kinda chubby actually. 173lbs, 6'2". And though I am bi in the sense that the occasional guy catches my eye, I hate the idea that the entire community rubs it in everyone else's face. I have had a girlfriend for two years now, and I'm happy enough with her. I dont 'fear being rejected' becuase someone might find out I'm bi. If someone asks me, I'll tell them, but I dont feel it necessary to run around making sure everyone knows. I mean think about it- before being gay became as accepted as it is now, did straight people ever run around flaunting their straightness? Do they do it now? Nope.
Yeah, those kind of guys piss me off too. Those are what I call douchebags and I ignore them. So, you have a point there, but if you think about it, they're not bragging about the fact that they're straight. they think of girls as their 'trophies' which, in my opinion, makes them even bigger assholes.
*laughs* Thought so. *winks and slowly reaches into my pants and....Pulls out a lesson plan book* so i was thinking maybe we could schedule your class for something next week and see how well they learn from it. You know refresh the learning experience so that they take it in better and can absorb the content. What do you think?
uh no... ser gay no significa ser parte de todo eso, algunos decidimos no dejar que nuestra orientacion sexual tenga tanto poder sobre nuestras vida como para definirla totalmente, al igual que los heteros. PUEDES ser parte de todo eso, pero no tienes que, a mi me parece un tanto ridiculo los desfiles... aunque son divertidos de mirar, dan risa... "estilo de ropa y de pelo" es de las cosas mas ridiculas que hay tambien, yo visto lo primero que me encuentro en el closet y me casi rasuro la cabeza porque me da pereza peinarme XD.
Pense que alguien de tu edad ya sabria que no hay nada de malo en ser un "average joe" que le gusten los hombres en vez de las mujeres, muchos lo son, yo entiendo eso desde que tengo como 16...

I haven't come out because my brother is very homophobic. And my Aunt, who I love very much, says she'd never be able to accept if one of her family members was Gay. But then as a post script, she adds, that it would be hard to accept, at first.
That's why I've kept seperate from the Gay community. If I could find a male, and keep it a secret, I might be comfortable with it.
I'd say, keep doing what you're doing.

Yo soy mas o menos como tu, un tipo normal que le gustan los hombres,bueno cuando vivi en Ny si iba a los bares de osos pero era uno de los sitios donde podia estar tranquilo ver los hombres que me gustaban y darme unas cervecitas, aparte de eso no me gusta todo lo gay como los estreotipos y eso.
There isn't a set way to 'be gay' and be a part of the gay community. He's chosen to flaunt his sexuality openly and I commend him for that, but don't go thinking you have to be the same. People often stereotype gays to exactly the image that he is portraying, yet I bet you walk past gays on the street every day and you don't even know it.
I'm like you, I like just being me. I don't look anything special or feel a need to have to announce that I prefer men to women. If people get to know me I'm the same person regardless of whom I take to my bed. If they ask I tell them, if they don't, why do hey -have- to know?
There are many people where I work that assume I'm straight because I don't fit the stereotype in looks or acting. Boy are they going to get a shock at our christmas meal when I take my boyfriend to it!

Hell cuzzy what you should do is give him a good slap on the ass as you walk on by and grin without looking at him and see what he does just for the hell of it XD haha!

Solo quiere llamar la atencion y no se lo ocurre que hacer, a una amiga y a 3 chamacos de la escuela y a dos mas del salon les dije que soy gay, y ni se alteraron, aparte no tienes que estar de acuerdo con las manifestaciones o el ruido que hacen.
Dile que se vaya a la vagina a ver si se enoja xD

yo tmb paso por lo mismo, soy una persona a la que le atraen los hombres pero no quiero ser parte de ninguna cultura o grupo ni menos religion y no hay que dejarse llevar por los estereotipos que siempre ponen en los medios los cuales a veces tmb ponen incomodo a alguien D:
si tu tienes ese tipo de ideas, no me imagino como terminare yo :\ tambien no me sentiria... o digo yo, no me siento a gusto al lado de alguien TAN abierto a ser un gay estereotipo explicito... que vez su fondo de pantalla y es una imagen porno hardcore de yaoi... asi tengo un compañero, y la verdad no a mi no me agrada tanto pasar tiempo con el, por la mismarazon, siento algo de culpa de q sea tan abierto y que yo no pueda serlo
*sigh* no era mi mejor momento para hablar del tema u,u pienso que no debo intentar salir con nadie. acabo en desastres u_u

Meh, don't let it bug you. If he wants to be that, sure - his choice even if it'd make me "wut" at first. All I know it's not for me, as like you I simply like men, and I don't see the need of letting everyone know that I'm gay.
I'll stick to ol' pub, or at my home with my mates rather than going out and show off my "gayness" :P

I'm in the closet, but I've talked to people online. I once had this guy insist to me that all gay people are good with fashion. All I do is alternate colors day by day and if I see a stack of cloths on sale I just buy it. I'm not into fashion at all and he insisted I must have a talent for it that I'm not embracing.
Hmm, se ve lindo.
Ya en serio, seh...parece ultra gay. Y andar vestido asi es una cosa, pero traer cosas pro-tolerancia ya es otra cosa...al parecer si, quiere atencion. Pero eso que lo respeten, es un record! Si vieras como batallo yo... y eso que soy bastante normal. Soy de esos gays machotes que se visten como albañiles, pero si, completamente homosexual. Me chocan los estereotipos afeminados que rondan por todos lados.

I'm pretty boring, but as far as identification with the gay community goes, your identity is what you make.
The community doesn't decide how you define yourself, you do. And many of us fall between the cracks of the labels, but I will say one thing your student is doing right is that he's not shying away from being himself.
And perhaps he will re-identify what kind of "Gay" he is later in life, but another point to consider, as said once by Margaret Cho, "Silence equals non-existence."
If you don't let the world know who you are, or hide certain things about yourself that truly make up a part of you, those parts may as well not exist at all, because no one will ever know about them except you. You never know, maybe those "flamers" have a thing or two to teach that doesn't have anything to do with rainbows or pride buttons.

Well, he's a freshman, right? So he's trying it out. Maybe he was suppressed in middleschool and decided to be all flaunting. Maybe he came out to his parents and now willing to be come out to everyone. The point is, he's still young, he's still trying it out. Later he'll find his own path.
My suggestion? Watch him carefully for any kind of malfesence. He could be a walking target. Of course, if you want to, befriend him in passing.
And I'm also a quiet-gay guy. I don't flaunt, but I am out.

There's "gay" and "being modest".
Being modestly gay is actually not a rarity, because modest gay doesn't like to show themselves and just love to be humble.
And there's a FLASHING gay. Yeah, that makes people ask you, "Dude, you show yourself in leatherpants in broad daylight?" and you will sigh to think, "Why was I born gay?".

oh no creo que sea machismo. Machismo es que los hombres son superiors a las mujeres y todo eso. Simplemente que si no nos gustan las mujeres porque nos atrearia un hombre asi :P Nunca me han atraido los hombres afeminados pero no creo en la superioridad ni nada de eso.
En el caso de esta chavito...son adolescentes. Es la etapa en que quieren que todos los volteen a ver. El porque es gay pero ve a otros con veinte aretes por oreja (y se los quitan XD) o chvas con minifaldas muy mini (y las castigan XD). Es lo de siempre..

Maybe he isn't really gay, maybe he's just a REALLY confused Goth! Just kidding. If it makes you feel any better, I am truly a far more boring gay man than you are. My idea of a fun evening is sitting down with a really good sci-fi novel or history book and really losing myself in it. Or sitting at the kitchen table for two hours trying to finish a crossword puzzle. I can't really relate to a lot of what is called "gay culture" or the "lifestyle" (which is kind of a misnomer isn't it? Being staight isn't a "lifestyle", really. Except for dating and sex, all people pay their bills, fill up the car with gas and take out the garbage the same way.). It's just style, I guess, and how extroverted or introverted you are or feel comfortable being. My hat's off to him just for being so damn open and uninhibited about it while he's still so young. Wish I hadn't been in the closet in my 20s and 30s, I might have been more comfortable with and confident about being gay. SHRUGS
Uh....Ew....I'm not fond of the "Ghey" stuff. I like the "straight gay". It just feels more natural. So be glad for who you are. And don't think about that kid. Blargh, I'm glad you're the type of homosexual that's like that.
Sides, it's who ya really are and that's what matters. <=)
