No Oscars for Str8 Acting

If you aren't familiar with the gay community, you may not have heard the term Str8 Acting before.  Let me assure you, it’s a more offensive label than fag or queer.  In essence, a gay man pretends to be straight in public, hitting on women, gay bashing, etc. while in private he pursues gay sexual relationships.  There are so many things wrong with this term it’s hard to address them all.  But I’ll try to hit the main points.

#1

The term implies that there is something wrong with being gay.  It’s no different than fundamentalist Christians claiming that there is something wrong with same sex attraction.  Men who refuse to accept their sexuality are incapable of forming romantic relationships.  Fitting into society becomes all consuming and the only connection they are able to form is sexual.  Its Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell for the civilian world and it’s just as empty.

#2

It’s just an act.  It’s in the freakin’ term.  “Str8 Acting” What does this mean?  It means that it isn’t real.  Anyone man who claims to be str8 acting is just pretending.  These men want to be masculine, but they’ve bought into what society, and to be honest, the gay community has made gay men; superficial, body image obsessed, teen aged girls.  Instead of being strong enough to resist societal pressures, they have accepted these false images as truth.  They should be ashamed of their weakness, not their bro-ness.

#3

True masculinity doesn’t require an advertisement.  Men who are secure in themselves need only be themselves, without apology and without judgment.  The actions of others gays don’t reflect poorly on masculine men.  Anyone who believes they do, is pathetic.

#4

Lastly, the reason why these Str8 Acting men can publicly seek sex with other men is because of the Stone Wall riots.  A group of drag queens and bar queens who had finally had enough of police harassing them fought back.  What does this mean?  It means that the masculine, butch men who blended into society weren’t man enough to say, “No more.”  It means that Str8 Acting men today have drag queens, who were the only gays who acted like real men, to thank for their freedoms.

The once conclusion we can all come to is that Str8 Acting is an embarrassment to the gay community.
